How can the desk in front of you reveal a whole new perspective on your life?
What's so important about refusing to board the catastrophe train?
Why does the anti-rotting agent given off by plants make you feel great?

Through 18 short chapters, Aidan Harvey-Craig scours every corner of psychology - from neuroscience to psychodynamics - to uncover the unexpected secrets of hacking your wellbeing. Based on the latest research, each chapter takes you on a journey of surprises, guiding you through an abundance of deceptively simple ideas which will help you to see your world in a new light and improve your wellbeing.

Organised into three sections - 'Notice', 'Energise' and 'Connect' - each hack addresses issues that affect us all, including our sleep, relationships, stress, identity, and our dependence on smartphones. Intertwining the latest insights in psychology with practical and easy-to-use advice, this book offers new ways to empower yourself and tackle the challenges of growing up and studying in the 21st Century.

Aidan Harvey-Craig has spent the past 15 years working with teenagers and young adults in schools across England and Africa as a psychology teacher, a lecturer in the psychology of education, a leader of student wellbeing and a school counsellor.
