Our goal in life is to be content and happy, and we spend a lot of time pursuing this happiness by chasing relationships, accomplishments, wealth, or approval. Yet something always feels missing. This is a universal truth: that despite doing “everything right”, we often feel restless and incomplete. Even getting success at one step is not making us feel contented; it’s just giving momentary pleasures. The next moment we again feel tangled in overthinking. Our thoughts are jumping between past regrets and future fears — creating an endless cycle of restlessness.

You've been called "cold," "distant," or "too independent." But the truth is, you feel deeply — you've just learned to survive by shutting down. Every time a relationship gets close enough to matter, something inside you pulls the emergency brake. You withdraw. You go silent. You convince yourself you're better off alone. And the worst part? You know it's a pattern, but you don't know how to stop it.

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.

Congratulations on picking up this book and taking time to educate yourself about one of the most liberating and rewarding steps you are about to take. My name is Benjamin Lashar. I am a Canadian who moved to the USA 25 years ago to pursue a successful corporate career. But the global economic crisis of 2008 forced my employer to lay me off. I took a nice severance offer and moved back to Canada with my wife and children to be close to our family.

"One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The New York Times, reviewing The World is Flat in 2005. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and...

You built a successful business. Now it feels like it's running you. Entrepreneurs and leadership teams often get trapped by their own success. They put out fires while teams work in silos. Momentum slows somewhere between $5 million and $20 million. Growth feels more like grinding than winning.

In this grounded and practical guide, Leezá Carlone Steindorf explores what’s happening beneath the surface of difficult conversations and how to stay steady enough to navigate them differently.

True security begins when you reclaim sovereignty over your heart and master your own destiny. In an age of constant upheaval and uncertainty, everyone is searching for a sense of security. Yet true security cannot be found in the external world. It arises only from the awakening of the heart.

And once you make the choice for therapy, which therapy is right for you and your family? Use this audiobook to begin answering these questions.
