Paul will teach you a wide variety of skills to beat that disgusting S-word: stress. You'll also learn how champions quickly switch on the right side of the brain to tap into a huge source of mental strengths. Techniques such as self-hypnosis, cue words, affirmations and body anchors have helped Paul's clients with relaxation, concentration, confidence, commitment and even solving problems more creatively.

Above all, Paul wrote this book to share the best possible ways to inoculate ourselves against depression.
