Being the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are: The Science of a Better You

This book is a crisp blend of cognitive science and human behavior, offering reachable pathways to self-improvement. Unlike most books that fail to fundamentally improve our lives, author Jim Davies’ research in cognitive science shows what works and how much. This book teaches us how to use science to become our best selves, utilizing resources within our brains.

Davies challenges and inspires us to approach the big picture while staying mindful of everyday details. He proves why multitasking is bad, how a bit of unmindfulness can be good, how to justify charitable donations, and how to hack our brains. Davies’ most surprising truth: you can lead an optimally good life by adapting your mentality to your present.
