International Development

This book helps you prevent a serious mistake. A family mistake. Once a child makes improvement, you, as parents feel happy and relieved. You may think your child is compliant, or even a more respectful member of the family. You set a high standard or expectation for your child, now that he or she shows promise of good changes. You feel great and your family is back to normal. But when your child falls below this standard, you don't just feel disappointed. You feel annoyed, even angry, that your child failed, is reverting to old habits.

This audiobook is about developing mastery. Although I respect the fact that starting at an early age does give a person a jump start, achieving mastery - or at least a substantially enhanced level of performance - can happen at any age. As a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP trainer, obviously my emphasis will be on the use of suggestion and imagination as tools to accelerate the achievement of mastery. The more you focus on a skill, the thicker and more developed the neural substrate related to the skill will become.
