You’re not alone. Everyone at some point in their lives finds themselves in a position where they want to make a change for the better. Those of us who act to make these changes learn to live a happier and more successful life, rather than just settling for our current situation.
Today, we have more knowledge and information about how our minds work and how we can improve them than ever before. This is thanks to many different fields in psychology, neuroscience, and self improvement. There are simply no good excuses not to learn this useful knowledge and apply them to our own daily lives.
I first began my self improvement journey about 8 years ago. Like most people, it took a really dark and difficult time in my life before I was motivated enough to make a change. It was freshman year at college – I was in a new environment without any friends or family to support me – and I was completely clueless about what I wanted to do with my life.
I’ve always experienced low self-esteem and social anxiety, but my experiences at college really amplified them into depression and insomnia. I couldn’t sleep, I didn’t want to socialize, and I was tired and apathetic every waking hour of the day. In short, I really wanted to die.
It was at this point that I first began learning more about cognitive-behavioral therapy, a system that teaches us how our thought patterns can influence our emotions, habits, and relationships. This was just the beginning of my journey, but it helped me create a strong foundation for improving my life and becoming more happy.
What a great feeling it is to go to bed everyday feeling happy and satisfied, without staying up all night being miserable, anxious, and depressed.
When I decided to make a change in my own life, it was the most memorable and important decision I ever made. Today, I look back on that choice and I’m thankful for where this decision has led me. You can make the same choice in your life if only you’re willing to.
When I started my self improvement journey, nothing changed overnight. Instead, it was a slow and gradual progress that required a lot of patience, time, and effort. This is something you don’t hear in a lot of superficial self-help products that promise “magic solutions” and “quick fixes.”
I began diving into all different areas of psychology, including: cognitive psychology, social psychology, positive psychology, clinical psychology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and much more.
I also studied other subjects that were related to the human mind, but not necessarily “psychology” in the scientific sense: Buddhism, Existentialism, NLP, hypnosis, and a lot of general self-help literature and other philosophy.
I didn’t want to miss out on any important information that could potentially help me – so I tried to seek as many different ideas and perspectives as possible.
As time passed, I began to discover what really works and has a positive influence on my life, and what doesn’t really work. The benefits began to grow exponentially over time – and it’s a journey I still continue to this day.
“The Science of Self Improvement” is a digital guide that teaches anyone how to begin making positive changes to their life. It is filled with scientific, evidence-based advice, exercises, and tools that anyone can start using to improve their beliefs, emotions, habits, relationships, work, health, and much more.
By the end of this guide, you will have a very solid and comprehensive understanding of the many factors that influence all humans – and how we can change these factors to benefit our everyday lives.
I make it a point in this guide not to force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Instead, I only provide suggestions on different things you can try to improve your life – and it’s up to you whether you want to try them or not. Some exercises and tools will have a huge and positive effect on you, while others may not have any effect whatsoever.
Different people respond differently to different psychology advice, tools, and exercises. It’s up to you to experiment – then keep what works and ditch what doesn’t.
I also want you to know that this guide doesn’t force you to adopt any type of religion, spiritual tradition, or personal beliefs. I teach you how to think critically about your beliefs, but I don’t tell you what specifically to believe in. I try to take a very universal and secular approach to self improvement.
Whether they are conscious of it or not, many happy and successful people from all walks of life practice the tools and exercises shared in The Science of Self Improvement.
For some, they may think and act this way naturally, but for others they may have had to actively learn these things at some point in their lives before they could make a change for the better.
Over the years, I’ve paid a lot of attention to different “successful people” in life – scientists, businessmen, doctors, musicians, athletes, writers, actors, teachers, etc. – and most of them have very similar beliefs and attitudes about life that I believe strongly contribute to their success.
There’s a reason why some people are happy and successful in life, and others aren’t – and a big part of it is their personal approach to life. After reading The Science of Self Improvement, you will have a very clear understanding of what separates these happy and successful people from the “average” person.
As someone who has been diligently studying psychology and self improvement for over 8 years now, I’m well aware of just how much crap is out there. It can be really hard to figure out the good from the bad.
That was one of my biggest motivations to create “The Science of Self Improvement…
