Luke Grant is joined by Phil Slade, behavioural economist, psychologist, award-winning musician, psychologist & co-founder of consultancy Decida, about his new book ‘Going ApeS#!t’ which hits shelves today to help Aussies control their inner ‘Ape’ and improve their social, financial and emotional success.

“Whether you’re a parent losing your cool at your kids, a uni graduate figuring out how to control your emotions in the workplace, or feel like you’re losing control of your money and mind, the book has simple tips and tricks for everyone to understand themselves a little better,” says Mr Slade.

“Particularly in today’s highly reactive world where we face a digital revolution shaping the way we think and behave, we need an increased maturity of mindset. Without it, we will fail to make clear judgements as we make sense of everything happening around us, which could lead us into social situations with devastating consequences.”

‘Going ApeS#!t’ has been developed as a humourous and relatable guide to controlling your inner Ape and making better decisions in all aspects of your life.

Learnt largely through Phil’s hilarious, and sometimes s#!tty personal experiences, the book explores harnessing emotions in a way that’s constructive in life, be it in your finances or career, to health and parenting.
