'We have two minds.'
The world's top-selling popular psychology writer, and author of Raising Boys, Steve Biddulph, says that we don't just have two halves of our brain - left and right - but we also have two minds.
We have our normal mind, which overthinks, rattles about and gets defensive. And we have our quiet, intuitive mind, which is full of life, intelligence, sensitivity, connection and love. These two minds are meant to work as a team, but in our busy modern society, we are so used to listening to our normal mind that we've all but forgotten how to listen to our wild creature mind.
This radical new insight is sweeping the world of therapy and cognitive science. In the midst of the world's worst mental health crisis - and struggles of war and climate - Steve sets out simple ways of accessing your other mind, which adults, teens and even young children can use. This book will help you to overcome anxiety, depression and lack of boundaries, teach you to trust your intuition and gut instinct, and heal the trauma permeating the world.
Steve uses unforgettable stories and specific methods to activate your wild creature, and explores new ways to use the wisdom of your body to solve problems, heal and grow.
There's a panther inside you, deadly and alert. There's a little soft bear cub, needing your care. There's a million years of intelligence, lying silent, wanting to help you. This is absolute science, yet incredibly simple, and about to change your world.
