I picked up this book almost by accident. I’m a librarian and a woman requested it in, hoping another lady would come in a check it out. She thought the content would be beneficial to help the second lady improve the direction her life had been taking. Unfortunately the second lady never arrived, but as the book sat on my desk I read the back and decided I would take it home. As the author would say my intuition did not let me down.
The book is divided into three sections, one for each superpower you hope to learn. The superpowers are meditation, imagination and intention. In each, the author shares her ideas on how each is important in daily life. She shares personal stories as well as the stories of friends, clients and others that demonstrate her ideas at work. Each section is also filled with different “Jump starts” and “boosters”.
A jumpstart is a way you can begin to use or access these superpowers in your day to day life. The boosters are ways to touch on, or boost, the effects of each between when we use the skills.
For instance there is “Four breath meditation” jumpstart. It lays out a 5-10 minute meditation practice you can try. Then a few pages later is a walking booster that is simply walking, whether around the block or around a room, taking deep breaths and releasing stress while repeating I am calm as you breath in and out.
Typically, I don’t read a ton of books like this one. I prefer a hands on approach to learning, but this book I really enjoyed. The chapters are divided into shorter parts, with several things to try, and many stories that make this book easy to get through. It is literally and anyone can do it book.
The only part about this book that took away is she brings her own religion into some of it. Though my core beliefs are based in Christianity, many are not. I feel the teachings here go far beyond any religion. It may turn some people off of here other really good information.
All in all though, worth picking up for sure.
