Fortunately, in 59 Seconds, psychologist Richard Wiseman is on hand to provide fast-acting, myth-busting scientific answers to a huge range of everyday problems. From job hunting to relationships and from parenting to self-esteem, personal and professional success may be less than a minute away....

Quick wins

Ideas backed by research, some are really easy to implement. I do have a hard copy of this too but audible is enough to refer back.
