What to expect
'Clear, thoroughly researched and well-written. Please read it before you buy another self-help book' – Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice
Experts Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson have done the work so you don’t have to.
After analysing more than 100 self-help books and 23 different therapies, they uncovered a
hidden truth: all effective self-help techniques collapse into just 12 high-level approaches.
Now, they’ve distilled those proven methods into a single, actionable guide: The 12 Levers.
Stripped of trends, fads and confusing jargon, The 12 Levers hands you the exact tools you need to navigate life's challenges. You will discover how to:
- Find your direction by clarifying your intrinsic values
- Conquer fear with the most scientifically validated anxiety approach in the world
- Fix your sleep using the most effective techniques from top sleep therapists
- Maximise your downtime with fulfilling ‘glad-you-did-it’ activities
- Get more done by understanding 'The Productivity Equation'
- Break the cycle of self-consciousness using the Attention Training Technique
Intuitive and easy to implement, The 12 Levers isn't just another self-help theory – it's your complete psychological toolkit for a better life.
