by Helen Thomson
New Scientist journalist Helen Thomson distils the best recent scientific research on happiness, habits, confidence, sleep, intelligence, and relationships into evidence-based advice. Every claim is backed by peer-reviewed studies, not celebrity wisdom.
The books Helen Thomson references, cites, and recommends most frequently.

by Daniel Kahneman
Kahneman reveals that our minds run on two systems: fast intuition and slow deliberation. Most errors in judgement come from trusting System 1 when the situation demands System 2's careful analysis.

by Daniel Goleman
Goleman argues that EQ matters more than IQ for success. Self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation are skills that can be developed and that predict real-world outcomes.

by Susan Cain
Cain argues that Western culture dangerously undervalues introverts. Quiet people drive creativity and careful thinking, yet workplaces and schools are designed to reward extroversion.
