A wonderful book that had a big impact on me. Empowering.

We've become so used to adrenaline and stress that we forget to use our intuition to keep ourselves safe from real threat. Our senses pick up danger signals that we often ignore or rationalise away. This book is a great reminder of how to trust our instincts and keep safe while actually being less generally fearful of life and people.

I used to have a paralysing fear of public speaking. With hypnosis and NLP techniques, starting with this book, I transformed fear into confidence and enjoyment.
