59 Seconds – Conclusion
59 Seconds – Conclusion by Richard Wiseman
This book ends with 10 quick things that you can do to improve your overall happiness. The bottom line of this book is that everyone is different but we can all be happier by changing just little ways in which we live our lives.
- Develop the Gratitude Attitude
- Be a Giver
- Hang a Mirror in Your Kitchen
- Buy a Potted Plant for the Office
- Touch People Lightly on the Upper Arm
- Write About Your Relationship
- Deal with Potential Liars by Closing Your Eyes or Ask for an Email
- Praise Children’s Effort Over Ability
- Visualize Yourself Doing, Not Achieving
- Consider Your Legacy
Some of these may seem a bit odd out of context but they add up when you read the book. Another very interesting section is about understanding personalities and how to best deal with different types of people. Much of that comes back to Mindfulness, paying attention!
