The Skills You Need Guide to Life
Learn about the essential skills you need to live a happier, more successful and productive life.
Based on some of our most popular content, the two-part Skills You Need Guide to Life covers the fundamentals of living well.
The Skills You Need Guide to Life:
Looking After Yourself
Live a happier, healthier and more productive life.
One of the most important skills in life is taking care of yourself in body and mind. It is the foundation for all other skills and areas of personal development. If you do not take care of yourself, you will find it much harder to harness the power of your mind to develop, learn and achieve more in life.
However, advice about how to look after yourself physically and mentally is often hard to understand and may even be contradictory. How much, and what, should you eat? What about exercise? This eBook, now in its third edition, and containing new and revised content, is designed to make living a healthy life both easier and better. It takes a common-sense approach, using the scientific evidence to help you understand the options and learn to make the right decisions for you.
Readers should find that it helps them to develop habits that will lead to a healthy mind and body, providing an essential foundation for life.

The Skills You Need Guide to Life:
Living Well, Living Ethically
How to live your best life, every day.
Looking after your physical and mental health is important. It is, however, not enough. Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs suggests that most of us need more than that. We need to know that we are living our ‘best life’: that we are doing all we can to lead a ‘good life’ that we will not regret later on.
This eBook, now in its second edition, helps you to live that life. It explains about the concepts of living well and ‘goodness’, together with how to develop your own ‘moral compass’. It uses the framework of Aristotle’s virtues—plus some modern additions—to outline a ‘good life’. By considering each of the virtues in turn, it allows you to work on your weaknesses and understand where you need to improve—but also helps you to celebrate your strengths. Finally, it discusses some ways to put these ideas into practice, including through making your lifestyle more sustainable.
This is not a ‘to do’ list, nor an instruction manual. It is designed to help you think about the life you want to live—and how you can start to do that.
