The Secret to Your FUTURE HISTORY Alan B Jones Phd

How to create meaningful and empowering goals for your future, The DREAM REALISATION TECHNIQUE What is it that some people can create and achieve major success in their personal and professional lives and others build dreams which remain as empty castles in the air? Clearly, we all have the ability to create ambitions, goals and dreams - but we may never achieve them despite having purchased and read innumerable self-help books and tapes. There is a real problem with some self-help books. Psychologists have noted that some styles of self-help books contain little in the way of help and can actually cause more harm than good. They can reinforce perceptions of inferiority by using exceptional role models or presenting unrealistic rewards to those who follow the authors guidance. More relevantly there are self-help/personal development books 'out there' which state explicitly that if you do not get the rewards promised by the author and their book then it's 'your fault' as you did not work hard enough or believe sufficiently in the beneficent powers of the Universe. THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT. The tips and tools suggested are based on psychological research They are based upon the authors 20 years-experience in training and counselling They are as applicable to organisations are they are individuals Each of the components of the Dream Realisation Technique stands alone Key Chapter Headings Happiness - The quest for happiness Stories - Personal reality Motivation - Getting going Decisions - Making choices Shifting - Creating future history Change - The universal constant Spirituality - Connectedness Science - The supporting research Future History The term Future History was apparently used by the sporting icon Muhammed Ali to explain how he could predict the outcome of his fights to the round and even minute. The author has considered many of Ali's quotes, interactions with people and writings to distil key ideas in an approach to creating personally empowering, multi-layered goals or, in terms of the book, Future Histories. Using approaches based within NLP and Coaching and re-working of some well -known tools, The Dream Realisation Technique considers the self-limiting stories which motivate our decisions that restrict our ability to embrace change. It is about shifting into a different mindset so that we can achieve that which we believe truly makes us happy.
