Consider 59 Seconds by Richard Wiseman. Recommended by 5 sources.
“59 Seconds serves up brisk, bite-sized psychology tips and myth‑busting claims written by Richard Wiseman, a psychologist. it reads as quick and practical: chapters are built around single ideas you can try immediately. Its usefulness lies in fast heuristics that invite small experiments rather than big overhauls. The main limitation is simplification—many suggestions are presented with light anecdotes and short summaries of studies, so readers wanting full methodological depth or dense reasoning will find it unsatisfying.”
