About this audiobook

What if the most life-changing wisdom is hiding in plain sight, waiting to be noticed? In "The Book of Unusual Wisdom", cognitive scientist and bestselling thinker Professor Clark gathers renegade findings that shatter common assumptions about your brain, relationships, money, technology, health, and more - then distills them into quick, unforgettable rules you can use today.
You will learn why an emotion burns out in 90 seconds unless you keep feeding it, how a 5:1 interaction ratio predicts the fate of any friendship, why delaying a creative project can double your originality, and how twelve minutes of movement can rival an hour in the gym.
Clark pairs each insight with a laser-accurate tactic you can deploy in real time, so the book rewards listeners immediately instead of handing out homework.
Inside you will discover:
- 60 counter-intuitive yet science-backed principles for thriving in a hyper-distracted age.
- Real case studies from neuroscience labs, elite military units, and billion-dollar companies.
- Fast, low-friction practices that fit inside the gaps of a normal day.
- A future-facing section that arms you for AIs, algorithms, and accelerating change.
