Understanding the science behind your decision making and behavior is a great asset in the battle to a more fulfilled life.

Psychology

In the opinion of BJ Fogg, founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, “Behaviors are like bicycles. They can look different, but the core mechanisms are the same. Wheels. Brakes. Pedals.” In the case of behaviors, the three elements are motivation, ability and prompts. “Tiny Habits” explores them all – and presents a seven-step method to easily outsmart them!

The primary premise of Laura Vanderkam’s book on time management ‘’168 Hours’’ is that we all generally have more time than we think. Do you find it hard to believe in this? Of course, you do - the narrative of busyness has seized our culture so much that it is hard to have any other worldview. After reading ‘’168 Hours,’’ you will think of time differently, and consequently, fill it with more meaningful activities.

According to an Australian nurse who recorded the regrets of the dying she worked with, the most common human regret of all is the following: “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” In “Essentialism,” McKeown explains how to get that courage – and how to prevent others from prioritizing your life for you!

For most of us, time is what our clocks measure. For Carlo Rovelli, however, time is both more and less than that. In “The Order of Time,” in welcoming, lyrical prose, he shatters our naïve perception that time flows steadily from past to future and replaces it with a network of facts and observations, in view of which time becomes little more than an illusion.

The book explains each step in exhaustive detail.

In “The Power of Habit,” Charles Duhigg explores the neurology and mechanics of habit formation. After demonstrating that all habits form a three-step loop comprising a cue, a routine, and a reward, he offers a four-step framework for replacing the bad ones that can be summed up in the golden rule of habit change: adjust the routine, but keep the cue and the reward.

So, if you want to be successful in modern society, you’d better learn how to work deeply. Through countless examples and actionable advice, Newport explains how to do just that.
