As the busy CEO of a technology firm, Ayesha hated her lengthy commutes – until she turned them into her mobile library. Soon, she was completing over 70 audiobooks each year on happiness, health, productivity, and success – all while stuck in traffic. She began capturing and categorising the most valuable and validated research from her readings for rapid reference. In doing so, she realised that it was possible to derive a handbook for life based on the expertise from hundreds of books. 

The output is Cheat Sheets for Life – a concise handbook of science-backed advice on 17 dimensions of life, from health to money to leadership to relationships.

Cheat Sheets for Life aims to be the last book you’ll ever need to improve your life. Using time-tested research, it strives to give even the busiest individual a foolproof guide to leading an optimised life.

We can all use some good advice and Ayesha Ratnayake’s book Cheat Sheets for Life: Over 750 Hacks for Health, Happiness, and Success provides ideas on  science-backed advice that may help improve our lives.


Review: Cheat Sheets for Life by Ayesha Ratnayake


Ratnayake's book is divided into 18 chapters on topics and under each topic are sub-topics with scientifically proven hacks that offer helpful guidance. 

Are you looking to live your best life? 

This book offers something for everyone. 

If you are wishing to curate positive social experiences - you might begin by thinking about what it is that you wish to accomplish every day. 

Needing to increase your parenting skills?  Did you know there are games you can play with your child to modify behavior and simulate good behavior? 

Sleep eludes many of us. If you know you are not getting the sleep you need you may wish to read the section that speaks to how to obtain healthy sleep practices.

Or, if you're wanting to make a change, you might try replacing negative rewards with positive, satisfying ones, such as reading a good book.


I received a copy of this book through the generosity of the author.
