Subtlety

"Subtlety: Your brain thrives on subtlety, on gentler, less forceful, more-refined input.  Conventional wisdom teaches that no pain, no gain is the way to improve or get what we want.  What we discover with this Essential is that subtlety generates seemingly miraculous new possibilities that will change how you speak to your loved ones, how you present and idea, how you cook and taste, how you move, and how you remain vital.  Subtlety will reveal to you what turns your brain on and what make it check out, instilling your life with new excitement, zest for life, creativity, and fun."
