PERFECT FOR FANS OF Mel Robbins' THE LET THEM THEORY and THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED

The new book from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Art of Thinking Clearly

Have you ever:

Got stuck in your career?

Said 'yes, sure' when you should have said 'sorry, no'?

Tried to change someone?

Listened to your inner voice?

These are all examples of habits, decisions and behaviours that will derail your efforts to build a life of success - of better decisions, career and relationships; of happier and healthier living.

In his new international bestseller, Rolf Dobelli reveals 52 of life's biggest mistakes, and shows why the key to living well is so much simpler than you might think. Just understand what the pitfalls are... then avoid them.
