'Tells you how to duck and dive when the unexpected surprises are incoming fast and hard.' RUBY WAX

'Fascinating...packed full of practical advice on how to help you survive and thrive in an uncertain world.' MICHAEL MOSLEY

Discover how expanding and improving your mental agility can transform your life, bolster your resilience, and foster success.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to achieving your goals. But those who navigate life and its challenges most successfully all have something in common: they know how, and when, to switch between different approaches. In other words, they have mental agility.

Professor Elaine Fox, a world-leading psychologist and performance coach has witnessed this time and again. In Switchcraft, she draws on 25 years of scientific research and coaching experience to develop a step-by-step guide to nurturing the skills you need to come out on top in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

'This book provides straightforward valuable tools and processes for people who have their own hurdles to overcome.'

Sally Gunnell OBE

Olympic Gold Medalist

'Full of important insights...

She shows how adopting a few key skills can transform your life in profound ways.'

Mark Williams

Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford
