Welcome to Rewritten

Why do some people seem to flourish when other people constantly struggle? Why do some people might your face light up with joy when you see their name on your phone, while others fill you with dread? Rewritten – the new book from About Peak Performance’s Managing Director – Jon Dunckley – sets out to explain.

The human brain is an incredibly complex organism. Some argue it’s the most complex thing in the known universe yet, despite all that complexity, it is prone to making big decisions with very little information. It takes short cuts all the time and, while many of those are helpful (no-one wants to stand in the way of a speeding car) others are much less empowering.

Unfortunately for us, the brain is prone to believing whatever you tell it. Tell it you’re having a good day and it’ll look for evidence to back that up. Tell it everything is doom and gloom and, you guessed it, it’ll prove you right there too. Of course, it’s not always that simple and sometimes things are objectively grim, but more often than not there’s a more positive and empowering version of the truth waiting to be found.

This book dates back to 1996 and the completion of an undergraduate degree in psychology that would start a lifelong love of the way our minds work. It’s full of ‘real science’ but written in a way that invites you to read along. There’s no intellectual beard-stroking here, it’s all about helping you to achieve more.

Rewritten is available from Amazon from October 16th in Kindle and Paperback forms and we’ll shortly be launching a range of training and development programmes to go alongside it.
