Everyday Wins is a plain-language field manual that turns the best ideas from physics, biology, and decision science into everyday tools for work and life. Learn how to break problems to first principles, size bets with probabilities and base rates, design systems that reduce rework, and harness leverage, inertia, and activation energy to make progress stick. Each concise chapter delivers a single model, a real-world example, red flags to avoid, and a quick practice you can run in minutes. Transfer prompts show you how to carry what you learn into meetings, money choices, product calls, hiring, health, and relationships – so the ideas travel with you. Instead of jargon, you’ll get checklists that lower anxiety, scripts that improve buy-in, and tiny routines that compound into durable advantages. Whether you’re a manager, builder, student, or parent, this book helps you spot patterns faster, avoid costly errors, and explain your reasoning with calm authority. If you’ve ever wished for a smarter default under pressure, this is your everyday operating system – simple, evidence-based, and immediately useful.
