Synopsis
'One of my favourite neuroscientists' ANGELA DUCKWORTH, author of GRIT
'Intellectually penetrating and beautifully written' ROBERT CIALDINI, author of INFLUENCE
Our choices shape who we are - but what determines how we make our choices?
In the tumult of everyday life, it's easy to slip into old habits, make choices without thinking, and forget good advice. The key to both changing ourselves and persuading others is not working harder - but better understanding how our brains work.
Here, pioneering neuroscientist Emily Falk introduces a new paradigm for understanding why we do what we do. Blending award-winning research with real-life stories, she reveals the hidden calculations that control our daily decision-making. She illuminates how our values shape our sense of self; how status, community and culture rewire our minds; and how we can use this knowledge to create new opportunities in all areas of our lives.
Whether we want to embrace new behaviours or become more effective communicators, Falk offers practical insights on how to apply feedback, focus attention and get in sync with others.
This is the essential guide to working with your brain to achieve fulfilling choices and lasting change.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Why is it so hard to stick with the choices we want to make? We decide to be healthier, but snack all afternoon. We resolve to prioritise family time, but end up working late into the evening. Change is hard - even when we really want, or need, to make it. In this book, award-winning brain researcher Emily Falk explores the cause of this dilemma - and how to overcome it. There is a disconnect between our biggest and most important goals and what our brains often prioritise in our daily decision-making. Learning to bridge this gap allows us to make different choices, and inspire others to do the same. Combining cutting-edge science with practical insight, this book shows how we can work more strategically with the value calculations in our brains to embrace new activities and behaviours, connect more meaningfully with others, and become more effective and innovative leaders. This is a groundbreaking guide to finding new possibilities in our daily choices - and the lives we ultimately make with them. A neuroscientist reveals the mechanisms behind decision-making - and how to make more fulfilling, impactful choices in our work and lives Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
