Publisher's Synopsis
Setback, disappointment, failure, frustration, anger and grief - life sometimes seems a treadmill of negativity with only one thing certain: you are not in control of events. This realisation overwhelmed John Frye as he lay in bed with agonising chest pains two weeks after succumbing to coronary palpitations and irregular heart beat. It had been a horrible year anyway and now, it seemed, it and everything else would be over. The answer, Frye suddenly realised, was to take control of his life. We cannot ultimately beat death, but every lesser experience can be dominated by a positive attitude. Frye's approach is to draw strength from setbacks. The lessons of failure hold the key to success; anxiety gives one the strength to overcome adversity; fear activates courage; pain is a symbol of change, a measure of strength and a source of wisdom. All this is empowering. For anyone whose courage to face life and prevail, needs bolstering, this small volume of distilled wisdom will serve as shield and inspiration. Organised as two books in one, the first book offers the distillation of the technique while book two treats each subject in a deeper, fuller manner.;Used every day, the Little Book of Self-Empowerment serves as a "daily health check for the mind."
