Book description
Rip up this book and unleash your hidden potential
Most self-help books encourage you to think differently: to think
yourself thin, imagine a richer self or to visualize the perfect you.
This is difficult, time consuming and often doesn't work.
Ripping up the rule book, psychologist Richard Wiseman presents a
radical new insight into your body and brain: actions
are the quickest, easiest and most powerful way to instantly change how
you think and feel.
Drawing on a dazzling array of scientific evidence, Professor Wiseman
shows how this simple idea can be used to increase motivation, overcome
depression, lose weight, stop smoking and even slow ageing.
So don’t just think
about changing your life. Do it.
* Smile and become happier
