Much of our life is about the ‘feel-good’ factor.

In fact, most of our life is spent in chasing ‘feel good’ factor-- sometimes we get it, and sometimes we don`t.

If we analyse, the other name of success is ‘feel-good factor’.

When we have our way, our say--in short, when we are successful--we feel good.

And when we meet with failure, we feel bad.

The author here first lists the 10 main ‘feel-good’ factors, and then goes about guiding on how to achieve them.

However, he forewarns against pitfalls in such pursuit, but shows how to contiue to have the ‘feel-good’ factor even in times of struggle.

He lays importance on the need to remain cheerful and think good even when nothing seems to go right.

Being able to manage and change your feelings is one of the most important things in life and career. 

You may have all the rational reasons in the world to do something, but then your emotions can just sweep in and pull everything to a grinding halt. 

Having your feelings to work for you ,instead of against you can have an electrifying effect on your life.

There are many ways to change how you feel. Here are 10 ways that don’t include chocolate, pain or alcohol and that actually work.

All of them might not work right away; it’s a bit like learning to ride a bike. You don’t learn it by reading about it and the first few times you try, you might fall. 

But remember when you were a kid learning to ride a bike. You just got up of the ground, brushed yourself of and got on that bike again and again and again.

The author reminds that it’s easy to be overcome by negative internal chatter. `I can’t do this, what if they think I’m incompetent, God I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail and why did I take this shirt, it’s so ugly`. And so on.

When preparing for a meeting, taking an examination, an interview, or a presentation, asking someone for a date or anything that makes you really nervous, recall your positive memories from similar experiences.
