The 12 Levers

The world of self-help is overflowing with advice. Countless books, podcasts, therapies, and videos talk about how to build a better life.. For Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson, the most essential part of all this advice is the techniques. Techniques answer the million-dollar question: What do you actually do to fix your problem? What do you do to overcome anxiety, maximize productivity, and find inner peace? After years of research—analyzing 106 self-help books and 23 therapies—they discovered that, from a bird’s-eye view, all self-help techniques collapse into just 12 broad strategies: The 12 Levers. Knowing these Levers can prepare you for so many of the challenges that life will throw at you. You’ll learn how to… Clarify your intrinsic values to give your life direction Overcome fear by using the most scientifically validated anxiety approach in the world Alleviate insomnia and out-of-sync sleep routines with techniques largely known only to sleep therapists Enrich your downtime by doing more glad-you-did-it activities Get more done by understanding the three factors of The Productivity Equation Interrupt spirals of self-consciousness using the Attention Training Technique …and much more. Together, the 12 Levers form the complete psychological toolkit for improving your life.
