Description
Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence by Amy Alkon is a refreshing take on self-help. Alkon presents a "science-help" approach that challenges conventional wisdom, offering practical advice based on cutting-edge behavioral science. With biting dark humor, she debunks widely-accepted but scientifically unsupported notions about self-esteem, shame, willpower, and more. By targeting your fears with behavior, you can make changes in your brain that reshape your habitual ways of behaving and the emotions that go with them. Alkon explains how to transform yourself using revolutionary science-help, making it easier to seize opportunities and overcome lifelong social challenges. This book provides a unique perspective on personal growth, one that is grounded in scientific research and written in accessible language.
