At the foot of his dying wife's hospital bed, Jamie Turner received what he calls the "most difficult gift" of his life: the realization that, despite his professional success as an author and CNN contributor, he had spent twenty-three years of marriage physically there but never truly present. This devastating moment of clarity became the catalyst for a radical personal transformation-and the blueprint for this book.
In Better: A Guidebook to a New and Improved You, Turner moves beyond generic self-help to provide a science-based manual for upgrading your personal and professional "operating system."
The book is structured around a unique, actionable framework called The Four Ms:Mindset: Learn to reframe limiting beliefs and rewire your neural networks to see challenges as opportunities for growth.
Mentoring: Master science-based communication techniques to build deeper, more reciprocal connections and turn conflict into collaboration.
Management: Discover practical strategies to manage your mental and physical well-being through a biological understanding of the "human energy field."
Marketing: Develop a personal brand that authentically reflects your "better self" to the world.

Turner blends heart-wrenching experiences with rigorous scientific inquiry, exploring how our thoughts create neurotransmitters that shape our physical reality. From the electromagnetic fields generated by the heart to the "unspoken rules" of high-stakes leadership, Better provides a comprehensive guide for anyone who feels they are "climbing the next mountain" but missing the life right in front of them.
Engaging, vulnerable, and deeply practical, this book teaches you how to stop wallowing in the past and start using your history to build a future of presence, influence, and purpose. It's time to stop dreaming about "what's next" and start becoming the version of yourself the world-and your loved ones-deserve.
