Taken the w'end off reading it. Babs - your copy with you yet?

Hey Sharon. Read 6 and some of 7. My version is electronic, so don't have page numbers!

 

Hmmm...Snow White mindset...Alpha Wolf...some discomfort in the Bandit household.... :)

Oh I know....Alpha Wolf, otherwise known as my dad my end..lol

 

I really am finding this info just fascinating. I have gone back to chapter 3 my end, need to re read as my mind struggles to remember and retain.

 

You know one of my daughters, the athlete, has Alpha wolf tendencies....sos!....onwards and upwards.

finally it came today!!!!!  i'm so excited!

[sharonsiff]

I am so pleased for my friend. She has 'untold' thoughts and beliefs that are making her so poorly, both mentally and physically. I was talking to her about this book today, she did a google search and saw her snooker hero 'Ronnie O Sullivan' had wrote a review.

 

She had a mini omg...this must be brliiant, excited wiggle your bum and dance moment, then hit purchase. I am over the moon for her. I have told her there is self work to do too but it's almost enjoyable self work.

 

I had to giggle though...if it's good enough for her snooker hero is good enough for her...love it...lol ;)

[sharonsiff]

How's everyone getting on with it?

 

I'm dying to discuss it but not sure were folk are up to.

[El Bandito]

I'm hanging back - although I keep dropping Chimp comments all over the board and then time you :D  :P

 

Nipping back an re-reading bits while the others catch up

[babs609]

[El Bandito]

I understand....rofl...;)

 

I love this book so much Babs. Lee has started to read bits and pieces over the last few days too....it all helps ;)

 

Still laughing ;)

[Paul723]

Chapter 2; chimp = Id.

[sharonsiff]

How's everyone getting on?

 

I wrote out my Stone Of Life ;)

[El Bandito]

A lot of fun. I can't comment on the physiological side..blood flows and the like.

 

The behavioural stuff, there is nothing new there at all. That said, we have been knocking around on the planet a long time.

 

I did really enjoy the whole visual paradigm. Both the planets and brains imagery creates a simplicity that really helped me understand the concepts being put across.

 

Really thought provoking.

Is this book really worth buying ?  y'all have peaked my interest........

Is this book really worth buying ?  y'all have peaked my interest........

 I would say Yes. I have not found the book life changing, but it does provide an interesting framework and helped me understand in a slightly different way. So - I have learnt things, enjoyed the book and will dip into it again I think. 

 

Interested to hear what the others think..

[sharonsiff]

Is this book really worth buying ?  y'all have peaked my interest........

I would say yes, and for me it has been life changing tbh. I feel far more comfortable in my thinking, understand myself a hell of a lot more. My husband and teenage daughter are reading it too....I'm a fan for sure.

Sharon - SP was just on the BBC. He is in Ronnie's dressing room at the moment trying to turn him round...

[sharonsiff]

Just got in, read this, turned on the tv. Missed the dressing room coverage :(

 

Fingers crossed SP will have got Ronnie in the right frame of mind.

Ronnie reconciled that he did his best...
