A fantastic book by self-leadership coach, Eric Winters. Full of evidence-based insightful tips and practical applications to get the best out of a courageously authentic life. I loved the fact that Eric's book is succinct, easy to read, and full of personal, relevant, and entertaining stories that highlight his key messages. He summarises so much of what is relevant in the positive psychology, behaviour change and coaching psychology research in a great short read that could be a very useful handbook for so many people. Providing further reading and resources at the end of each chapter is a unique and very welcome addition. I loved exploring those additional resources!

Suppose a better life was just a matter of choosing? this is the thesis of Eric Winters book Swipe Right On Your Best Self. Using the metaphor of choosing a date on Tinder, Winter proposes three far-reaching choices that can improve your life right now: making yourself fit for purpose, assuming stances that will support your purpose and choosing actions that fulfil your purpose.
These three choices comprise the three parts of the book and each of them is divided into three chapters. So for example Part III: Stances To Embolden breaks down into chapters on Defiant Gratitude, Self-compassion and Courageous Authenticity.
This is a short and very readable book. Like any good self-help book, it will only be as useful as the work you put into doing what it tells you to do. Winters’ advice is therefore practical and simple, but not simplistic or easy - he actually says life is hard. And short. And potentially, at least, meaningless. So his chapters comprise a story or two to spark your interest, then nuggets of advice you can put into action, followed by a list of resources - websites, YouTube videos, books and apps - to support further exploration of the concepts he discusses briefly. At the end of each chapter, there’s a helpful summary of the chapter’s main ponts.
So stop looking and stop making excuses - this is all the self-help book you need.
