From Morphine to Match Fit: The SHIFT Code(TM) - Five Questions That Change Everything
Most books about resilience are written by people who read about it. This one is written by someone who needed it to survive.
Dave Heffernan grew up on one of the roughest council estates in Europe. By eighteen years old he had served close to three thousand funerals as an altar boy. At sixteen he was homeless. At thirty-six he was given a terminal diagnosis, prescribed thirty-six tablets a day including morphine, and told to manage his decline.
He didn't take the tablets.
What followed was the hardest year of his life. And the most transformative.
From Morphine to Match Fit is not a self-help book. It is the account of a man who rebuilt himself from the inside out - and the framework that came out of it.
The SHIFT Code(TM) is five questions. Asked honestly. In the right order.
S - State. Where are you actually right now? H - Habits. What are you doing every day that is keeping you exactly where you are? I - Identity. Who do you believe you are - and is that belief helping you? F - Focus. Where is your energy actually going? T - Transformation. Not back. Forward.
This framework has been used with over a thousand individuals and hundreds of corporate clients across fifteen years of clinical practice. It works because it starts where most frameworks refuse to - with the truth of where you actually are.
You don't need to be on thirty-six tablets to need these questions. You just need to be honest about where you are right now.
This book starts there.
