Description
Book Synopsis
Understand, avoid, and defeat the subconscious causes of your irrational and self-defeating behaviors. It's only human nature.A psychological trigger is something that causes us to act out of urgency - not correctness or even happiness. It's a switch that is flipped outside of our consciousness. This is fertile ground for some of the worst decisions of our lives.
Psychological Triggers is an introduction to yourself - your impulses, your desires, and everything in your subconscious that drives you to action. It answers the question, "Why did I just make a terrible choice when I know I shouldn't have?"
We are all slaves to our triggers, and this book seeks to identify them to better battle them. We might think we are making our decisions independently and out of free will, but you'll discover that to be far from reality.
Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

-How everyday emotions are behind some of the most powerful triggers.

See yourself thrive from consistently making beneficial decisions and defeating your primal psychology.
