The Art and Science of Continuous Improvement

From delinquent to doctor, Paul Wood knows first-hand how far we can take our lives if we address what holds us back.

At the age of 18, Wood was sent to New Zealand's toughest prison. Almost 11 years later, in 2006, he walked out a free man, escaping his past and becoming a leading expert in the psychology of personal prisons, limiting mindsets, and the pursuit of excellence.

In Better Never Stops, Wood explains the neuroscience behind our innate human desire to strive for improvement and how we can supercharge our ability to grow.

Mastering the art of continuous improvement is not only essential to happiness and personal fulfilment – it also offers a better quality of life as we age and, crucially, a life without regrets.

Written as an easy-to-understand guide, Better Never Stops combines ancient wisdom, proven psychological techniques, and the latest research to form a blueprint for people wanting to discover how great their lives can truly be.
