A Springboard for being the Hero in your Life's Endeavors

Through this book, Catford and Ray offer an outstanding avenue for anyone that wants to thrive in their own heroic journey on a day-to-day basis. The book's content hovers above that which is the usual tools of neurolinguistic programming and takes you further, in a most enticing manner, through a journey to bring discovery and fulfillment into your life. Fortunate enough, this book is not about "solving" life's problems. Instead, it is about exerting your own inner power to create a great life. Actually more than a greate life - a legendary one for yourself.

A map for transformation....

This book describes a path I've taken on at least two occasions and it really helps to see I'm not the first one to take it...seeing the stages of transformation, from innocent high-ground to the depths of the pit and back up to the breakthrough and celebration helps, especially when one is at the bottom of the pit...a great companion for the seeker of new ground and new being.

Handbook for creative living

This book is a fabulous guide to more creative living in business and in everyday life. Way before Julia Cameron and The Artist's Way came on the scene, Michael and Lorna's book broke new ground. Much more than a book on living creatively, it's a book on how to tap into your highest self, step into your own greatness, and realize that your struggles and challenges fall into an age-old pattern that once you understand and internalize, can be overcome with strength and confidence. This would also make a fine book for anyone interested in the power of myth, or Joseph Campbell's work. Just a fine, fine book. Sprinkled with quotes and bits of wisdom as well as hands-on activities, this is a rich and rewarding personal development book. Too bad it's currently out of print. I think Lorna and Michael are pursuing reprint options, but there are plenty of well-loved copies available, so grab one NOW!
