Books by Richard Wiseman

59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot
Wiseman offers quick, scientifically proven advice to help you achieve more positive outcomes in your life. The tips are amusing, surprising, and efficient. Good advice was never so entertaining.

Quirkology: The Curious Science of Everyday Lives
I'd love to know how the author managed to create a career conducting the experiments detailed in this book. As a psychologist all human behaviour is fair game I suppose - the rituals in picking numbers for the National Lottery, the effect of your date of birth on your life, finding the world's funniest joke - but, however strange the question, fascinating insights and truly interesting responses invariably follow. And then of course you'll insist on sharing . . .
