Drawing on the theoretical roots of the Stoics, Buddhism, popular
psychology and CBT, Ben has created a unique programme that anyone
can follow. Join Ben on his journey from anxious mess to back in
control. This book is packed with fun and practical challenges that
readers can try themselves, all in the name of self-improvement!
Thanks to having undertaken these challenges himself, Ben now has
an unusual selection of hobbies, a host of interesting new skills,
some fantastic dinner party stories and plenty of wonderful
experiences... and most importantly he now feels calmer, healthier,
happier and more at peace. Split into three types of activity -
mental, physical and skilful - the challenges range from climbing a
mountain to sleeping on a beach in a bivvy bag in a storm to having
a conversation in Japanese. Follow Ben in learning how to pick a
lock, how to solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute and how to
memorize the order of a deck of cards after seeing it only once
(the ultimate party trick). Along the way, he's eaten some
repulsive insects, whilst also creating a new morning routine that
freed up the time to write this book. Try out Ben's challenges ...
or create some of your own, with the help of the challenge tracker!
