Distancing wer. angielska L. David Marquet, Michael Gillespie Książka

Be yourself. Be fully present. Be in the moment.
That is the message we hear constantly. Yet, the biggest obstacle to making wiser, more successful decisions is often... ourselves. Our limited perspective biases our choices, leading us to defend past actions rather than seek better alternatives. We need to step outside our narrow view and gain an objective, fresh perspective. In other words,
we need a coach.

In
Distancing
, former Navy captain David Marquet and Professor Michael Gillespie show us how to coach ourselves into making better decisions using a powerful mental technique called psychological distancing. By practicing:
•
Self-distancing
: we can be
someone else
, adopting a neutral observer’s perspective.
•
Spatial distancing
: we can be
somewhere else
, zooming out and seeing ourselves as part of a larger picture.
•
Temporal distancing
: we can be
sometime else
, assessing our decisions through the eyes of our future self.

Backed by compelling scientific research, real-world examples and practical exercises,
Distancing
 empowers you to break free from self-limiting patterns and make clearer, smarter choices. The tools are simple. The impact is profound.
