"The doctors had given my wife 24 to 48 hours to live."
So begins Jamie Turner's latest book, Better: A Guidebook to a New and Improved You. In her dying moments, Jamie's late wife told him that he had not been present during their 23 year marriage.
It was then he realized (too late) that despite his success as a CNN contributor, author, and global speaker, he had spent decades being physically there, but never truly present.
Better isn’t a collection of self-help platitudes. It is a science-based system to help people learn how to become a better version of themselves.
To become a "Better" version of yourself, you don't need more grit—you need a better system. Jamie introduces a transformative framework built on four pillars:
Mindset: Learn how your thoughts create neurotransmitters that shape your physical reality. Master the "Unspoken Rules" to shift from survival mode to creation mode.
Mentoring: Use science-based communication techniques to turn conflict into collaboration and build deep, reciprocal connections.
Management: Discover how to manage your mental and physical well-being by understanding the biology of the "human energy field."
Marketing: Develop a personal brand that authentically reflects your values, allowing you to lead with influence rather than just authority.
We are more than just skin-wrapped bags of salt water; we are bundles of energy, emotions, and resilience that can be pointed toward a better and more fulfilling life. Better blends heart-wrenching lived experience with rigorous research into neuroscience, psychology, and heart-rate variability.
In the book, Jamie explores the "Mirror Effect"—how our internal state triggers biological responses in those around us—and explains why your "vibe" is actually your most potent leadership data point.
"Better: A Guidebook to a New and Improved You provides a practical blueprint every executive needs to navigate the high-stakes intersection of technology and the human heart.”
– Karna Crawford, Former Head of US Marketing, The Ford Motor Company
“A down-to-earth guide that reinforces the idea that becoming better doesn’t require perfection – it simply requires intention, consistency and the courage to start.”
– Pat Belinski, U.S. Business Leader, the McDonald's Business Unit of Restaurant Technologies Inc.
Success doesn't have to come at the cost of your soul or your relationships. It’s time to stop dreaming about "what’s next" and start becoming the version of yourself the world—and your loved ones—deserve.
Jamie is an author, speaker, and Emory University lecturer who helps audiences around the world discover a better version of themselves. His newest book Better: A Guidebook to a New and Improved You is available at bookstores everywhere.
