We said our goodbyes and two months later I was pleased to see an email from Mr Golf in my inbox telling me how his golf had continued to improve, so much so in fact that he had gone on to win a seniors tournament! This really reminds us what Solution Focused hypnotherapy can achieve and it is brief! In four sessions Mr Golf made all his desired changes and; signi?cantly went on to improve, as we know he would - those dandelions continue to take root. In fact Schwartz has himself touted the bene?ts of relaxation. Relaxation is important... It helps us recharge and unwind, which is critical to maintaining balance and restoring our energy levels. “So make sure you spend some time each day relaxing and doing healthy wholesome things that bring you pleasure, satisfaction and ful?lment.” “The power is the focus!” Dr Je?rey M Schwartz We know what we do works and it is nice when we have a story to share – our ‘sparkling moments’ as Susan Rodrigues calls them and further adding to our store of powerful adjacent stories for clients ?

He’s organised the most up-to-date information on how the brain works and how people use it into 12 rules and one of the most unputdownable and quotable books I’ve ever read. You ?nd yourself having a conversation with someone and one of Medina’s rules or explanations just leaps back into your mind and helps explain whatever it is you’re talking about. He’s taken what could be a dry and dusty factladen tome and ?lled it with humour and numerous examples that illustrate whatever point he’s trying to make. So what are the 12 rules? Medina summarises them as: ? Exercise boosts brain power ? Sleep well, think well ? The human brain evolved too ? Stressed brains don’t learn the same way ? Every brain is wired di?erently ?
