The fragmented societies of the 21st century provide little help for people with their emotional and behavioural self-development. They tend to establish division rather than unity, separation rather than togetherness and relentless competition rather than co-operation and support. Emotionally our society just throws people in at the deep end, to either sink or swim. We don't get much help or support towards getting to know ourselves, or to find that deep sense of inner peace, enjoyment, meaning or purpose in our life. This book is essentially about the basic mental resources needed as a foundation on which the reader can build a successful happy and fulfilled life. If the book is approached with this in mind you can become intimately involved with the suggestions made and quickly realise how they can help you become the person you really want to be. As you read the book it will help you, in an unobtrusive way, to move towards personal happiness in your own way, and that is always the best way for you. This twenty-first century book will enable you to cope with all that society throws at you, in a calm, relaxed and effortless way and be an achiever in life. People often believe they have the skills and ability to change their lives in a positive way but are held back, experiencing difficulties with low self-belief, negative emotions and disappointing behaviours. These can be daunting to overcome. However the author goes to some lengths to explain, in a psychological context, how the brain works and this knowledge can be used to improve your quality of life in many positive ways. The book takes you on an interesting and informative adventure in closing the gap between emotional intelligence and self-development. It can open your creative mind to new possibilities for positive change. It is an interwoven journey of discovery in many intricate ways that are nevertheless simply interpreted. You, the reader is invited to embark on a personal journey, using your mind in an effective way. The only limits are set by your readiness to think, observe and explore. The book provides the missing key to personal success. It is not a 'quick fix' that needs the buzz of a motivational 'high.' The author invites you to make yourself a priority in your life and offers you the opportunity to read and ponder. The writer gently draws in the reader to consider such low key but mind-blowing effective concepts as 'detachment' and 'abundance' and shows you how to work with them to become a winner in life. The book is not a place for jargon or mystique; it is plain language for the ordinary person. It gives you options in finding your own way and trust the progress you are making and feel emboldened to take the next step... and the next. This book is the key - your dreams are your own.
