Description

Richard Wiseman has been troubled by the realization that the self-help industry often promotes exercises that destroy motivation, damage relationships, and reduce creativity: the opposite of everything it promises. Now, in 59 Seconds, he fights back, bringing together the diverse scientific advice that can help you change your life in under a minute, and guides you toward becoming more decisive, more imaginative, more engaged, and altogether more happy.

From mood to memory, persuasion to procrastination, resilience to relationships, Wiseman outlines the research supporting the new science of "rapid change" and, with clarity and infectious enthusiasm, describes how these quirky, sometimes counterintuitive techniques can be effortlessly incorporated into your everyday life. Or, as he likes to say: "Think a little, change a lot."

This audio helped me realize the importance of working towards new goals. Paying more attention to how I work and learn, rather than the actual results.

This selection was interesting, had thought-provoking ideas, compelling arguments and just enough psychobabble to keep the listener on their toes. A good selection.

There were some interesting studies discussed which covered every areas of life, including dating, work and parenting. I may remember and use a few things I learned. Overall, I was dissappointed by the depth of the discussion and felt the scope was too broad. It may have been more helpful to focus on either subjects related to work or personal life. If you enjoy counter intuitive results from social experiments and have the time you would enjoy this series.
