Our mind is our greatest weapon, but that isn’t to say that we always know how to use it effectively. Much to the contrary: in the vast majority of cases, so much of its potential remains untapped. Or, even worse, we can turn it against ourselves, using it to our own detriment. Wouldn’t it be great if we could change this regrettable state of affairs? Well, as it happens, we can!
A lot of very, very smart people have dedicated their lives to making sense of how the mind works and, best of all, they’ve written down their findings for our benefit.
