More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Everyone is moulded and shaped by the circumstances of the family into which they were born. By the time we reach early adulthood most people feel that their basic character has been firmly established and that no major shifts will occur. This book, based on the personal experience of the author, shows that substantial real change can take place and that we all have the ability to consciously design and assemble the person we wish to be. There is the understanding that the cornerstone of happiness is a sense of self-worth and the confidence that this in turn engenders. There is the recognition of the strong, two-way link between mental and physical health. The suggestion is made that just as we exercise our bodies to stay fit, so we should also deliberately work on keeping our mental health in good shape. A range of options relating to how we act in our day to day lives and react to life's situations are presented in short, easy to follow, sections. The reader is guided through a range of options about the key issues we all face in life, from supporting ourselves financially, through relationships, love and sex, to staying healthy. The book looks at our religious and spiritual beliefs and encourages us to live in harmony with them. We are also encouraged to prepare for the death of those we love and for our own death. The emphasis is always on the reader's freedom to choose what they themselves believe to be best for them and what they want.

Format:Paperback
For anyone remotely interested in effective life management or learning how to live a more fulfilling and joyful life, this book is great value and will not disappoint. The residual sentiment is having enjoyed some valuable and `shared wisdom'. Surely one cannot ask for more from this genre? The title might usefully have carried a bracketed suffix (In the New Millennium) because although it draws on Maslow for its philosophical base, the anecdotes and applications are all extremely relevant and contemporary. One of its foremost qualities is its simple readability and absence of pretence - but this does not dilute the insightful nature of the content. It is the sort of book that one can read in its entirety or return to. I am a longstanding occasional reader of `life' books in their widest context, without being an obsessive. I enjoy the purity of Maslow to more commercially driven offerings and this book embraced both ends of the scale without falling between the two which is why it was enjoyable. It is very well researched and peppered with thought provoking quotes variously insightful and humorous. You will not get better value (let alone shared wisdom)for £10.

As a student studying both psychology and sociology I found the revised book to be very useful. The second edition follows Maslow far more closely. At the same time the book has lost none of its personal honesty and real life application.

Format:Paperback
This book did not give me any direct answers but it did focus on the important questions in life (some of which I was not aware of) and gave me some options from which to choose. Most of all it showed me that I am at choice in as much of my life!
