Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Fiona Harrold believes, with articulate passion, that anyone can do anything. The only stumbling block is lack of self-belief. "When you believe in yourself anything is possible", she says unequivocally. She wants you to discard any beliefs which hold you back. Her practical, accessibly written book--based on her seminars with TV presenters, music stars, business executives and top politicians as well as with those in less prominent or glamorous positions--aims to show you how.

Once described in the Daily Express as "the Queen Bee of British life coaching", Harrold wants you to be ambitious. And physical health is part of success and confidence. She has interesting views on eating disorders and regards overeating, smoking and drinking to excess as low self-esteem factors. Her systematic exercises--and the attitudes and affirmations she recommends--take you step by step through a radical rethink of who you are, what you want and where you are going at every level.

Although she advises that acceptance of the existence of a cosmic force outside yourself will enhance your sense of personal worth, she has controversial thoughts about the central tenets of some religions. You should, she suggests, rethink your relationship with any teaching which requires you to regard yourself as a worthless miserable sinner. She blames such deeply conditioned cultural attitudes for much of the low self-esteem in Western Europe.

Some of her ideas are intensely liberating and encouraging. "You are as attractive as you think you are", she says and she teaches you how to change your view of yourself. Or consider how actors insinuate themselves into roles then "Act, talk and behave like the person you want to be and you will become that person". --Susan Elkin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Independent on Sunday
'Leading life coach Fiona Harrold has lots of simple but powerful tips and exercises to motivate and inspire you.'

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational book that will change your life, 1 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I first heard about this book whilst having a drink with a friend of mine. We were talking about life in general and I commented on how much happier he seemed lately and how I wished I could be happier as I wasn't enjoying my work at the time. My friend leant me a copy of this book, which I read and started to put in to practice some of its suggestions. I can only tell you that my life has completely changed for the better. I became much happier and I am now on my way to a career I'd previously only dreament about. I bought my own copy of this book as it's the type of book you can go back to again and again. If you buy this book make sure you do what Fiona suggests and TAKE ACTION.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provides practical inspiration and guidance for living., 8 Feb 2001
By A Customer
To produce this work, the authour was forced to dig deep within and examine her own attitudes and beliefs in life to find robust system for living a happy, balanced life. The result is a coaching book with a truly holistic perpective.

The author demands commitment from the reader in return for her encouragement and belief and persents a contract of engagement on P15 which leaves the responsiblity for change sqarely on the reader's shoulders.

She takes the reader through a number of logical, practical exercises that examine the building blocks of confidence, self belief and personal power. The premise behind the author's thinking is that if you were not born with inate confidence or developed it through positive childhood experiences, then you have to work hard to acquire it as an adult.

The book's central argument demands faith in the concept that deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviour can be changed by force of will.

The author draws on the principles of NLP, self image pschology and her own home spun wisdom. It is a passionate and inspirational books that unfortunately looses pace when it arrives at the "how to select your work chapter". However, it is well worth the read, and doing the exercises alone will produce positive changes in perception and self awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing-tastic!, 21 Jun 2003
By H. Clarke (Essex ,United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this book as a Christmas present as I was (and still am) suffering from depression. I started the book and immediately felt better, something my therapy sessions seriously lacked! I have since read this book on the train on the way to interviews and the confidence in me shone through. The chapter entitled: "How Attractive Are You?" was especially inspirational. Fiona Harrold's words totally changed the perception of how I thought of myself, and with her words in mind, I went to a party and met a really lovely guy who I am now dating.

This book is a must for anybody feeling low or just wnats to achieve what they have always wanted. The encouragement in her words propells you to change your life, and it does! An excellent book which you can pick up and read at anytime.
