GLIMMER – The New Psychology of Positive Triggers

  • Discover the glimmers in everyday life – how small moments of joy can improve the mind and enrich life.
  • More positive thinking to counter the widespread negativity bias.

Triggers are a thing of the past, your future is full of glimmers!

They are everywhere: "triggers", specific stimuli that evoke negative emotions like anger, fear, or stress in each of us. Just as individual are the reactions to triggers – from aggression and depression to addictive behaviors.
But there is hope! Recently, the positive counterpart to triggers has been named – the "glimmer". This term refers to micro-moments of safety and joy. When we learn to recognize these glimmers in our daily lives, they have the potential to bring small mood lifts, inspire hope, and foster inner peace, lightness, and satisfaction. Glimmers are no less real than triggers – we just pay too little attention to them.

In this book, Bernhard Tewes provides an accessible and thorough introduction to the new psychology of "positive triggers", explains the health benefits of glimmers, and shows how to dissolve triggers and discover glimmers. Through situational exercises, he offers practical self-help tools to recognize glimmers and make life "shine".
