Well done! submitted by rachel on June 13, 2015, 4:14pm This is not your typical self-help book. Based on extensive and well-documented social science research, this book lays out fallacies in our thinking that lead us astray and it gives guidance for how we CAN accomplish the things we want to do be doing.
