Guess what? My book, The Sweet Spot: How to Accomplish More By Doing Less, is going to be available in paperback SO SOON on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at independent booksellers.

(Is that a new subtitle? Why yes, it is! You are very observant!)

The Sweet Spot contains the answers I wish I’d had many years ago about what leads to a successful and joyful life, all based on scientific research.

What is the “sweet spot,” you ask?
The sweet spot is that place where our greatest strengths and our greatest personal power overlap with where we find ease, where there is little resistance or stress.

I’ve long struggled with the ease piece of the sweet spot. I’ve developed my strengths, but I tend to “hamster wheel” when I’m too tense or tired. Like a baseball player, I know that I can “get hits” outside of my sweet spot, but my metaphorical bat (my body and brain) tends to bend or even break. Like the bat in this slow motion video:

In The Sweet Spot, my trials and errors are your reward. From time-saving micro-habits to bigger picture shifts that convert stress into productive and creative energy, The Sweet Spot shows you how to:

Learn to say “no” more easily, and more strategically
Use technology in ways that bolster, instead of sap, your energy
Find more joy, connection, meaning, and friendship in your day-to-day life

The Sweet Spot is loaded with practical tips (and fun stories) from my own experience road-testing the strategies.

What Do Other People Have To Say?

I’ve been humbled by the warm reviews of my book:

“Dr. Christine Carter’s The Sweet Spot illuminates the simple and sustainable path toward a precious and happy balance.” – Deepak Chopra

“A breath of fresh air…Based on personal experiments with living life in what she calls the ‘pressure cooker,’ Dr. Carter offers advice in easily digestible nuggets.” – Working Mother

“This book did something I thought was impossible: it seemed to give me more time. In this age of overstuffed schedules, that’s about as good as self-help advice can get.” – Martha Beck, PhD, Oprah’s life coach

“Actionable ways to balance your life, your health, and your career. This book is packed with smart advice and hard-earned wisdom.” – Inc.

“Funny, intimately honest, and so practical—Dr. Carter pulls pure gold out of studies on the brain and happiness.” – Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Hardwiring Happiness

I’d love for you not to buy The Sweet Spot on June 6th, when the paperback is released. Instead, please pre-order the paperback now. Why?

Pre-orders matter a lot.

Because all pre-orders ship the same week, which makes a book’s weekly sales huge. And that often is enough for a book to hit a best-seller list, which then, if the book is good, can become a self-fulfilling prophecy–readers that didn’t know about The Sweet Spot before will now see the book on a bestseller list! Booksellers also tend to take note and many will feature the book in their stores, or online.

So I’m humbly asking you to pre-order the paperback, as an act of kindness and friendship (in addition to hopefully being a fun and gratifying book for you to read). I will do my best to return the favor by sending you loads free gifts (see below)!

Amazon reviews also matter.

The Sweet Spot has received over 50 five-star reviews on Amazon. Amazon seems to treat books with 100 or more five-star reviews differently, suggesting it to people that might like it. So if you’ve already read the book and loved it, I would be further indebted to you if you were to leave a 5 Star review on Amazon. And I’ll also send you all the gifts!!

Okay. Thankfully, I’m done asking for favors. It’s all bonus gifts from here on out!

In thanks for all that you do for me, we’ve put together a bunch of exclusive stuff just for you. I will send most of these to you no matter what you decide to do. At the same time, I’m suggesting different gift levels. 🙂
