Seven Steps to Leading Your Best Life
This deeply engaging story is filled with powerful and
practical life lessons that will open you to new possibilities and
transform your life forever.
Improving your life is much easier than you think. Whether it's
losing weight, sleeping more, or restoring your work/life balance -
the secret is to start small. For years, we've been told that being
more healthy and productive is a matter of willpower: that we
should follow the latest fad and make constant changes to our
lifestyles. But whether in our diets, fitness plans or jobs,
radical overhauls never work. Instead we should start with quick
wins - and embed new, tiny habits into our everyday routines. The
world expert on this is Silicon Valley legend BJ Fogg, pioneering
research psychologist and founder of the iconic Behaviour Design
Lab at Stanford. Now anyone can use his science-based approach to
make changes that are simple to achieve and sticky enough to last.
In the hugely anticipated Tiny Habits, BJ Fogg shows us how to
change our lives for the better, one tiny habit at a time. Based on
twenty years research and his experience coaching over 40,000
people, it cracks the code of habit formation. Focus on what is
easy to change, not what is hard; focus on what you want to do, not
what you should do. At the heart of this is a startling truth -
that creating happier, healthier lives can be easy, and
surprisingly fun.
A captivating and insightful deep dive into the world of human intuition, exploring the power of this elusive phenomenon and how it can be harnessed to better know and trust ourselves.
We rely on our intuition, even though we don’t fully understand what it is, how it works, or if we can even trust it. In this fresh, mind-opening book, Elizabeth Greenwood takes us on a sweeping investigation into the subject, exploring how, in our data-driven world, we can harness intuition in our day-to-day lives.
Digging deep into her personal experience as well as insights from neuroscience, psychology, , feminist texts, psychics, and everyday people with extraordinary intuitive ability, Greenwood explores what we know about intuition—how to distinguish it from instinct, wishful thinking, anxiety, and denial; how it serves and sometimes fails us; how it impacts our dreams and unconscious behavior; and how it manifests in everything from romantic attraction to premonitions. Greenwood places a special emphasis on “women’s intuition,” and how it has been denigrated throughout history—but can offer us a more hopeful, grounded way of experiencing the world in a time of so much uncertainty.
Everyday Intuition provides practical advice on tapping into our self-knowledge and learning to trust our instincts. It examines the science behind intuition, including how our brains process information, how psychedelic medicine and manifestation are opening new doors of consciousness—as well as how these helpful methods are being abused by charlatans, including some "coaches," "teachers," and social media influencers offering false promises—and how we can train ourselves to be more intuitive and ultimately enhance our daily lives.
Smart, funny, sincere, and profound, this helpful guide is a modern take on one of the oldest tools we possess. It shows us how embracing intuition can lead us to our truest, most mindful selves, and to better align the lives we are living with the lives we desire.
