Get Better: A Neuroscience-Based Framework for Human Development
Most people pursue better results. Few pursue a better self. Get Better shows you how to use the science of your own nervous system to close the gap between the life you've been given and the life you're capable of living.
- ✓The Human vs. Being distinction — why biology keeps you stuck
- ✓The four life drivers: Calling, Health, Connection, and Resources
- ✓Vision Architecture — a system for building a life you actually want
- ✓The Transformation Management System — lasting change, not temporary improvement
- ✓The 168-hour weekly framework — your time as your most valuable asset
