  • Take control and improve your decision-making

This book was an undeniable revelation-finding, emotion-fueled, pragmatic- thinking type of focus for me that has caused a rippling effect regarding my personal development journey. One day in the morning I just happened to be in Kentish Town when I stumbled across a stranger who was kind enough to recommend this book to me after a lengthy conversation about life and our personal experience of it. I can't thank that stranger enough! His name was Herbert. I'm not gonna give it away by stating what's in this book or the details of how it's affected me but if you've come this far to be reading this review then you should be reading this book or at least listening to it.... WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I've read so many self help books in my long (ish) life, many of which have helped me greatly. However this book has had the biggest impact on me and the impact is daily and getting stronger. Knowing how your psychological mind works (albeit a model to explain the phenomenon) is the gift that keeps giving. Treat yourself and others to this book, whether you are struggling or just want grow. All this benefit for the price of 10 mins in therapy, so a bargain too. Bravo Professor Steve Peters šŸ‘šŸ‘
