Description
Most people would like to be more creative, more persuasive and more attractive. For years, gurus and `life coaches' have urged people to improve their lives by changing the way they think and behave, but scientific research has revealed that many of their techniques, from group brainstorming to visualization, are ineffective. Fortunately, psychologist Richard Wiseman is on hand to provide fast-acting, myth-busting scientific answers to a huge range of everyday problems. From job-hunting to relationships, and from parenting to self-esteem, personal and professional success may be less than a minute away . . . * Find out why putting a pencil between your teeth instantly makes you feel happier * Discover why even thinking about going to the gym can help you keep in shape * Learn how putting just one thing in your wallet will improve the chance of it being returned if lost

A different kind of self-help book
This book is a book that refutes some popular myths often found in other self-help books(eg books by Norman Vincent Peale,Rhonda Byrne etc which emphasize on "positive visualisation" and "affirmations").
It provides methods that have been derived after proper scientific experiments,surveys and studies conducted in different countries over a large period of time and are well documented.
The book tends to become boring because of so many facts outlined in it but then they are necessary to sup...

The work is not original.
The book is really nice, but the work of author is not original. The book have lot of facts, its just the work of other people combined to make 59 second. Richard Wiseman is great writer and do something original work of himself.

This is very similar to Thinking Fast and Slow
This is one of the best self help books around. This is purely based on scientific research is not those "you get whatever you really want" feel good type books.
I would strongly reccomend this book. However also read "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahnman (Nobel prize winner). The latter book summarizes most of the research in the domain on which this particular book by Richard Wiseman is based.

Awesome book
The book is a direct tale to what really never works in the Self-Help book department and what you really need to do to get up on your feet and running. It's filled with facts and focuses on actual results to give you the accurate insight.
This book should be read by all who are trying to find the solution to life in those misleading self-help books.
As for the delivery, flipkart just keeps on impressing us...

About the content - hat's off!
Highly recommended to those whoever wanna read self help books. Please, read this one before others.
But two things I'm not satisfied with.
1. PAPER & BINDING:- page quality is not good. After seeing those yellowish papers my interest decrease a bit and the cover page is also very thin.
But yea, book is not used one. It's new one no doubt but meterial wise not good
2. NOW A DAYS FLIPKART DELEVERY - before Flipkart delevery was before the given time/Date.

Excellent !!!
It is easy to follow and unlike other self-help books, it is backed by humongous research by the author and other experts in the field as well. And even if you are not into self-help books, it makes up for good light reading during long commutes.
Waiting for the author's next book, Rip It Up.
