This is pretty good. Probably half the book is commonsense. Whenever anyone says, "drink more water," I want to throw a bucket - filled with water - over them. But besides the commonsensical tips - sleep, water, exercise and diet -there is attention to goal setting, choices and behaviour. Establishing a multi-sensory environment to connect present experiences with future choices is a strong suggestion and is effectively presented in this book.

Dill, Shrill, Fill, Windowsill....
What were all those rhyming words again?
Really good, solid advice on breathing methods and some questions to ask yourself. A bit too much filler and not enough memorable content to call this whole thing a “method”. Lots of good tips scattered throughout that would be good implement in everyone’s lives but very little direction with regards to cause and effect with case study implementation. It felt like the author/coaches ideas were good, yet they were a bit wishy-washy with regards to direction.
Useful book as a starter to search out other methods which are more direct and succinct. Good spring board, just not cohesive enough.

Loved this book through and through (I am reading a second time) and found it fascinating to learn more about how our brains are wired through evolution and how we react or respond to the world we live in.
Breaking down and exploring the brain from the ancient limbic system (retile), our shared Mammalian brain (dog) through to the more recently evolved human brain and the development of the prefrontal cortex, this book maps out for us the When and Why we use each and the advantages and disadvantages they offer.
With this in mind (pun intended), the purpose of healthy control and how we might foster a healthy environment for these ‘brains’, we are introduced to our different energy layers. These are beautifully laid out in their supportive crescendo to be easily considered by oneself and/or discussed as part of a coaching session (this will be my intention) to understand what adjustments can be implemented for a healthier lifestyle and strengthen performance – whether physical or professional.
Lovely read with a good sense of humour. Many insightful case study examples from a range of very interesting clients. Lots to take away and play with. I have already started implementing in my own routine and discussing it with my clients.
Great book, strongly recommended!!

Opzich niet heel nieuwe of baanbrekende concepten maar heel leuk uitgelegd aan de hand van veel voorbeelden. Heb ik wel veel aan gehad.

Somewhat disappointed given all the glowing Amazon reviews but ok.
