Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. He reveals the new ABCs of moving others (it's no longer "Always Be Closing"), explains why extraverts don't make the best salespeople, and shows how giving people an "off-ramp" for their actions can matter more than actually changing their minds.

Why Your Memory will See Fiction and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself." by David McRaney. But here’s the truth: You are not so smart. You’re just as deluded as the rest of us.

GET THE FREE TRANSCRIPT AT WWW.FEELGOODENGLISH.COM/13things While the advancements in technology have made our lives easier, it has, however, alienated us from our true values and distanced us from establishing real, healthy relationships. In this episode, I’m going to talk about "13 Things Mentally-Strong People Don’t Do" by Amy Morin, a licensed psychotherapist and best-selling author whose book has attracted a worldwide following and has been translated into 20 languages. The book shows us things that we can do to become mentally strong, especially in the face of adversity or in times of hardships. The book also tells us that mental health is just as important as physical strength. Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend of yours or a family member, be kind with yourself, it is not your responsibility to keep other people happy for they can only control their own thoughts.

We say this a lot in the US, and what it gets at is if you are an optimistic or pessimistic person.

In the book, "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman, the consequences of being pessimistic are talked about, as well as the benefits to becoming more optimistic.

Making decisions is part of daily life. What should I have for breakfast? What career path should I take? What English program is going to help me become fluent faster? Sometimes we struggle with making the "right" decision, especially when there are big life choices to be considered. Fortunately, making the right decisions is a skill that can be developed. As discussed in the book "Decisive", by Dan and Chip Heath, various factors contribute to making bad decisions. Through deep research, the authors have found factors that contribute to making poor choices, but if we recognize these factors and learn how to avoid them when making decisions we can feel more confident about the decisions we make. Learn how to be a better decision maker on this episode of the Feel Good English podcast.

Neil Pasricha thinks it's the small little pleasure of each and every day, which he writes about in his blog, 1000Awesomethings.com In his Ted Talk, Neil gives you three words (all of them start with A, duh) that he feels can help us live a richer life. It is an emotional and entertaining talk, one which I found inspiring.
