'A tour de force. Drawing on cognitive psychology, neuroscience and her own experience, this book offers compelling lessons for how busy people can lead better lives.' Richard Layard

What if the key to a happier, more balanced life was already inside your head?

As a professor of financial economics Neeltje van Horen excelled in a demanding career – but constant self-doubt and stress left her feeling stuck. Seeking a way out, she turned to neuroscience and psychology and discovered how retraining her brain – one small habit at a time – transformed her life.

Blending relatable stories, cutting-edge research and practical strategies, she reveals how small, intentional changes can deliver meaningful results. Recognising that everyone’s path is unique, she offers a range of techniques, helping you discover what aligns best with your needs and aspirations.
