An essential skill to be able to live this life as well as possible is to understand how people tick, how your own brain works and how you can make use of that to make your life more pleasant. After all, life is not always simple and carefree. Challenging times are inevitable, and we often have limited control over the circumstances that come our way. The only thing you can influence is how you deal with the situation. And that can be trained. This book offers simple tips; no hard science or a complete set of rules, but rather a collection of insights the author has gained through ancient philosophers, leaders, scientists, family, friends and own experiences. With plenty of room to add your own reflections and ideas.Carpe diem!
