This book has been amazing to read. I really enjoyed it. There are four parts to this book. Each one goes into detail. It explains how to manage your stress, anxiety, and your thoughts and emotions. The best parts I liked in this book was Caring and loving in a special way my inner child. Meditation, on how to let go of my thoughts With Visionary way to do this with leaves floating down a quiet stream. This meditation was very relaxing, and I did feel better after doing it. It was explained very well in the book how to meditate . Also, there was a part if you’re depressed, then start being active it had helped me from becoming more depressed. I found that to be true. This is truly a good book. I plan to keep it and use it for further references.

Not many self help Books offer laymen friendly steps that can be implemented for self discovery of the inner self! This author beautifully outlines techniques and proven practices which allow an individual to “REPROGRAM” ones past negative and limiting belief’s accumulated over time through life experiences! It all begins with recalling and recognizing past fragmented wounds then interpreting & burying them as part of the past with the reprogramming of the malleable brain to create positive fibers between your emotional and reasoning portions of the brain. By doing so humans, unlike other animals are able to take control of their thoughts and bypass past fight or flight alarm systems which are NO LONGER valid and no longer represent a threat. Instead, humans, unlike other animals can redirect the brain to focus on the positive lessons learned from those past negative experiences, rather than ruminate and be defined by those past ACEs (Adverse Childhood & adolescent Events). By Diffusing negative thoughts stemming from shame, guilt, and criticism we. An teach our brains to dissolve the toxic thoughts our ruminating brains would otherwise marinate in!The key is for our mind sight to dwell on the positive outcomes from lessons that teach and enlighten us. Replacing negative with positive attitudes gives us hope and security and the ability to be in charge of our minds, body and souls!

This is a well written informative book offering practical steps to self-awareness and discovery. I am glad i found this book.

Wow! I was amazed and impressed!

very informative, really makes you think how much control we have over our mental health

The book itself kept losing pages as I read it. This put a bit of a damper on the book-reading experience. The concepts are super simple but are useful nonetheless. If you ever took a psychology class or read a self-help book, you have probably already learned most of the strategies in this book.

Great read
