It is based on 7 years of psychology research and self-experimentation, covering key areas in self improvement, especially beliefs, emotions, habits, relationships, work, and health.

Throughout the guide you will find useful information based on key studies in psychology and neuroscience.

There’s also a myriad of practical advice and techniques that you can begin applying today to start seeing significant changes in your happiness, success, and well-being.

This e-book is unlike most other literature in self improvement, because it is scientifically supported and evidence-based.

It also integrates many recognized fields of psychology – including cognitive psychology, behavioral psychology, positive psychology, and meditation – and puts them all into a complete guide that has everything you’ll need to know about self improvement.

Beliefs and Your Map of Reality

• How your beliefs reflect your view of the world and how you interact in it.
• The different factors that influence your beliefs (parents, teachers, friends, culture, etc.)

• How to challenge unhelpful and irrational beliefs by asking yourself thought-provoking questions.
• The importance of reflection in learning and education.
• How to minimize cognitive biases such as: confirmation bias, negativity bias, framing effect, and the dangers of black and white thinking.

• The importance of physical exercise in mental health, and how it improves mood, learning, self-control, and executive functioning.

In addition to The Science of Self Improvement I’ve also put together a meditation guide that includes 8 exercises anyone can use to begin improving awareness in their everyday life. These exercises include:

Meditation has become a big topic in psychology today, which is why I wanted to dedicate a whole guide to it. I’ve personally practiced all of the meditations in this e-book and I have found benefits with each and every one of them. I find meditation to be a very important tool in our self discovery and self improvement.

Whenever I release an updated or revised copy of The Science of Self Improvement you will receive a new copy absolutely free. This is one huge benefit to buying e-books: if a hardcover book gets updated, then you need to go out to the book store to buy a new copy; but when an e-book gets updated, you can just download the new edition for no extra charge.

I plan to keep The Science of Self Improvement as updated and relevant as possible. If new research comes out that I believe is important, I will do my best to integrate that into the next e-book and send you a revised copy.
