For many of us life has stopped making sense. Super-efficient routines that once served us well now stress us out and a 'toughing it out' mindset is only compounding the problem.

In Better in Every Sense, neuroscientist Norman Farb and clinical psychologist Zindel Segal reveal how the new science of sensation provides the key to doing things differently. By tuning into new and everyday sensations - from the feeling of our feet on a crowded street to the sound of birdsong in the park - we can engage our sensory network and boost our resilience, well-being, health and creativity.

Grounded in decades of scientific research and filled with simple exercises and practical mental techniques for mastering the art of 'sense foraging', Better in Every Sense explores the power of sensory experience to liberate us from our negative thinking patterns and help us successfully handle all of life's challenges.

A brilliant, user-friendly, and easy-to-implement framework explaining why intentionally tuning in to our senses and learning how to trust them and expand their repertoire in outside-the-box ways-what the authors call 'sense foraging'-is profoundly liberative and healing, revolutionary, and yet totally commonsensical. - Jon Kabat-Zinn

When you are feeling stressed or stuck, how do you relate to your life? In Better in Every Sense the authors take us through the science of tools to get out of the 'house of habit' and offer ways to re-engage with your life. A wonderful new book by Norman Farb and Zindel Segal. Fascinating, thought-provoking, and so useful in these trying times. - Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life

These two highly trained and highly skilled professionals have got the chops - and the goods - to help you genuinely upgrade your life! - Dan Harris, author of 10% Happier
