Neuroscience-proven guidelines to think, act, and become smarter ASAP. It’s not what you know, it’s how you think.

You’ve been fooled before. You’ve missed things. You’ve been slow on the uptake and others have passed you by. Radically transform your thinking for both speed AND accuracy.

Think quickly on your feet to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and win arguments.

Practical Intelligence is not a common “think smarter” book. No, it starts from biological bases of analytical thinking, and how we can re-program ourselves for deep insight. This book provides real, actionable tool after tool, because smart thinking is all about HOW, and not why or what. The bottom line is that you’ll be able to apply this book’s thinking models immediately, until they become habit.

Better decision-making, smarter reasoning, and greater mental clarity.

Patrick King is an internationally bestselling author. He has sold over a million books. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience.

Understand human behavior and social psychology - and then you can understand yourself and the people around you.

Let's face it - most of the problems that we encounter in our lives aren't about the situation, it's about the person in front of you. Whether it's a parent, sibling, co-worker, or even significant other, there might be a gap in understanding. That's reasonable and normal.

But what if you could learn to understand people, their motivations, what makes them tick, and ultimately how to connect with them better? This is renowned author Patrick King's specialty: distilled emotional intelligence that helps you decipher why people do the things that they do.

He combines his natural instinct for human analysis with a plethora of the latest scientific research in the field to bring you the end result you want: better relationships, high self-esteem and confidence, self-understanding, and overall fulfillment and happiness.
