Paul McKenna is one of those authors where you know what you are going to get and it’s always immensely practical. It’s never inherently spiritual but I know he has been very much influenced by Zen Buddhism. The fact is though that sometimes anxiety (and depression and other things) can hold us back and stop us making the most of our lives. Even though, for example, meditation can help us with anxiety, anxiety can also stop us from meditating properly so it’s often better to apply a separate technique to clear the chatter. There are lots of guided meditations to go with the text but they are downloads and there is no accompanying CD. Techniques include tapping, hypnosis and NLP. It gets to the point and is packed with practical tips. Hopefully this book will help us all embrace the present moment and feel completely in control.
