There are also great sections on how to have those awkward money conversations with your partner or friends, and how to negotiate more money at work.

What makes 59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute by Richard Wiseman so helpful, is the sheer amount of scientific research referenced when writing this book. Everything the author says is backed up by data and studies, so the author isn’t just making things up as he goes along.
The information itself is very practical, and offers a lot of advice in how to handle day to day things such as how to make a good impression when going out, spotting lies or staying motivated.
Other lessons are connected to more impactful scenarios, such as how to nail an interview, keep a solid and clean reputation and how to shape your environment to stay happy.
The book is also a very fun and easy read, and the pages simply fly away.
