THE FORMULA - SELF HELP WITH A TWIST
NO HIPPY HYPE, NO NEW AGE FLUFF JUST 9 SIMPLE STEPS TO HAPPINESS
*this book includes two FREE audio tracks that can be downloaded online.
"Even though I'm rather fond of hippie hype and New Age fluff, two things eschewed by this colorful little book from Rebecca Bradley and Suzi Tyler, it's definitely worth an eyeball. It has fun illustrations, inspiring quotes and stories from icons of pop culture. I particularly liked the story of Rebecca's transformation from "emotional mess" to spiritual malarkey-maker and it's wildly-original Periodic Table of Emotions. As these authors so wisely point out, transformation is only a thought (or maybe two) away.-- Pam Grout, New York Times bestselling author of 17 books
including E-Squared and E-Cubed
Do you often feel:
• Time pressured, overwhelmed and hopeless?
• Unhappy, numb or disconnected no matter what you do or what you ‘have’?
• Lonely even in a room full of people?
• Like the real you has disappeared, overtaken by what everyone else needs you to be?
• Caught in a cycle of crisis, bad luck, negativity or ill health?
So many people feel unhappy. So many people feel lost, with no sense of purpose. Not so many people admit it though. It’s like a secret club and everyone is too afraid to admit being part of it. If everyone realised just how everyone else really felt inside it would be so much easier, because then we would all realise that we pretty much feel the same at times, or that we all have exactly the same emotions. If we all knew we were so similar most anxieties or hang-ups would instantly dissolve.
But instead, most of us put up a front and struggle on. We update social media with how we want ourselves to be ‘seen’ while inside we swallow down the misery and all consuming guilt that we might ‘have it all’ but still just don’t feel happy. “I’m fine, everything’s great.” Becomes our catchphrase but the words don’t ring true and are just a cover for the feeling of hopelessness inside.
From the outside looking in, it looks as though you “have it all”, people envy you. You berate yourself constantly because you ‘know’ how lucky you are, but you just don’t feel lucky. You feel unhappy and numb and in a way that just makes you feel even MORE guilty. Having it all means you should feel blissfully happy doesn’t it? Having it all means you should feel fulfilled and like you know what your life’s purpose is and what you should be doing, surely? Having it all means, you feel connected and happy and positive and calm and confident and…….. DOES IT F***! Having it all can mean feeling even more confused, guilty and numb because you do have it all but you feel so disconnected and unhappy.
The Formula provides a simple structure of 9 logical steps to help you go back to basics and relearn everything you currently know about yourself and where your beliefs come from. In plain, honest and sensible language it will give you practical tools to unwind your mind and change your way of thinking about your entire life.
Hundreds of books and hours of knowledge have been filtered down to the bits that are the most effective. For you to see the biggest amount of changes in the shortest time possible. You will have access to real life experiences of the exact problems you regularly face, coupled with expert solutions to solve them.
Get ready to understand yourself, your emotions, the world around you and your place in it, and your so called ‘purpose’.
