Description
"Overwhelmed? Discover the seven tools you need to worry less and do more! Introducing the Power of Agency, a science-backed approach to living life on your own terms. Agency is the ability to act as an effective agent for yourself--reflecting, making creative choices, and constructing a meaningful life. Grounded in extensive psychological research, The Power of Agency gives you the tools to help alleviate anxiety, manage competing demands, and help you live your version of success. Dr. Paul Napper and Dr. Anthony Rao, using a method honed in their clinical psychology and consulting practices, will help you break through your state of overwhelm by showing you how to access your personal agency with seven empowering principles: control stimuli; associate selectively; move; position yourself as a learner; manage your emotions and beliefs; check your intuition; deliberate, then act. Featuring stories of people who have successfully applied these principles to improve their lives, The Power of Agency will give you the insights and skills to build your confidence, conquer challenges, and live more authentically."--Dust jacket.
