A Three Course Meal for the Mind
This book is now out of print.
‘A Three Course Meal for the Mind’ combines three books into a single volume: 'On The Other Hand', 'Just Around The Bend' and 'Louder Than a Whisper' (also available separately). The books chronical Renée Paule’s philosophical journey of self-reflection. She questions many facets of life that we take for granted, unlearning all that she has been taught: thus freeing her mind from the conditioning that society imprints. There is much to think about in these pages and it can make for uncomfortable reading as questions we tend to avoid are raised and discussed, particularly in ‘On The Other Hand’.
This collection is ‘self-help’ in the truest sense as there are no answers provided and it is left to the reader to cogitate and draw their own conclusions - conclusions that Renée maintains we already know but shy away from. One thing that stands out in all three books is that 'we' are responsible for what happens in our world: there is no-one else to blame. You may not like what you read herein but you will be hard-pressed to refute it.

'Top of the morning' from Ireland.
Many years ago I wrote my autobiography - probably more as therapy than anything else - but life continued happening to me and I got to thinking, what good will this story do, isn’t there enough misery in the world without me adding to it? I subsequently burnt the manuscript. It was around that time that I began searching for meaning in my life and had a profound experience - a realisation that we’re all connected; we’re One. In my books, I take an honest look at our quirky and often bizarre behaviour in society and challenge the status-quo we accept as unchangeable - questioning and pushing the boundaries we set ourselves, and those that have been set for us. I’m convinced that if we want to change our lives and change our world then we must first change ourselves. I invite you to join me on my journey, questioning the society we call ours and the role we play within it.

It is neither Freud nor Foucault but Renee. The three course meal is a well-prepared dish with adequate spices and expertly tailored to suit your needs. You neither need the terms nor the theories, but simply an open mind and a bubbly heart. You need to accept that questions exist and wrestle with them. That is what Renee does, initiating you on the journey to the centre of your heart, where the "real" brain exists. Let me assure you of one thing, these three books will change your life.
Read them and explore! Happy reading! :)

A highly recommended book for people who wish to see what's really behind their veil. People who wish to change their lives for the better.
I'm glad I've read all three of the books now assembled as a single book. These books have changed my perspective of life. All I can say is that I refer to the words of this book for every single thing that I do feel or think about.
I loved reading them. Enjoyed reading every single page. I hope you do so too.

Why settle for only one when you can have all three.
Having proof read and reviewed all three of Renee Paule’s insightful and thought provoking books, the author has come up with the inventive idea of linking all three into one combined edition.
This format will enable the reader to conveniently follow through Renee Paule’s train of thought, whilst also providing a fiscal incentive to delve deeper into the narrative of these literary publications.

I have written what I wanted to say in the blurb of this book, as I am the editor. I feel it deserves a rating and is well worth reading.

Renée Paule has worked her three previous books, which I had already read separately - On the Other Hand, Just Around the Bend and Louder Than a Whisper (also available separately) - into one volume and, as usual, has come up with the perfect title, 'A Three Course Meal for the Mind.' Renée's books come under the title of Self-Help, but rather than being in the usual run-of-the-mill vein of 'do this and you will feel better', her work leads you into truly examining yourself and your interaction with the 'outside' world by giving you questions to ponder. No answers are doled out within these pages, you have to find those for yourself.
In what appears to be a time of chaos around the planet on more than one level, many people are 'waking up' to the realisation that any change for the better has to begin with each individual. Any, or all, of these books will take you on a voyage that can be uncomfortable but that will ultimately help you to discover and live as your true self.

Renée Paule's compilation of her first three books is an ideal way of getting to grips with the thought provoking content, plus also is a far more cost effective way of purchasing all three books.
This is a must read and a bargain to boot.
