The 12 Levers (How to Change Your Life with Things You Actually Control)

A clinical psychologist and an applied math psychology entrepreneur distill the collective wisdom of self-help into 12 core principles for self-improvement that are as simple to activate as switching a lever

The number of self-help books and psychological therapies out there is overwhelming. But, at their core, are all these books and therapies really teaching different things? That is, are there really that many self-help strategies out there? After spending years analyzing more than a hundred self-help books (from Tony Robbins to Tim Ferriss) and more than a dozen therapies (from CBT to EFT), Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson propose that the answer is no.
Ultimately, it all boils down to just twelve effective strategies that underlie basically all of self-improvement. The 12 Levers offers to readers something they won’t find elsewhere: a single source to learn these twelve core strategies underpinning self-improvement and how to apply them, step-by-step. These 12 levers are situated in four successive categories:

1. Clarify
2. Act
3. Overcome
4. Cultivate

Thoughtfully assembled from their extensive analysis of the field and interwoven with fascinating stories about the originators and popularizers of these techniques, The 12 Levers will not only be simple and intuitive to implement, but compelling and thought provoking to read.
