The 12 Levers

The world of self-help is overflowing with advice. Countless books, podcasts, therapies, and videos talk about how to build a better life.. For Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson, the most essential part of all this advice is the techniques. Techniques answer the million-dollar question: What do you actually do to fix your problem? What do you do to overcome anxiety, maximize productivity, and find inner peace?
After years of research—analyzing 106 self-help books and 23 therapies—they discovered that, from a bird’s-eye view, all self-help techniques collapse into just 12 broad strategies: The 12 Levers.
Knowing these Levers can prepare you for so many of the challenges that life will throw at you. You’ll learn how to…

• Clarify your intrinsic values to give your life direction
• Overcome fear by using the most scientifically validated anxiety approach in the world
• Alleviate insomnia and out-of-sync sleep routines with techniques largely known only to sleep therapists 
• Enrich your downtime by doing more glad-you-did-it activities
• Get more done by understanding the three factors of The Productivity Equation
• Interrupt spirals of self-consciousness using the Attention Training Technique

 
…and much more.
Together, the 12 Levers form the complete psychological toolkit for improving your life.
