- a must-have Review by Brigit Strawbridge
-
Find Your Power provided me with the psychological tools, skills and strategies to face and overcome my fears. It is written and formatted in such a way that you first gain a deep understanding of the nature of fear, before learning that the uncomfortable and disturbing feelings you are experiencing are important and necessary catalysts to motivate real and lasting change. By the time you finish reading this book you have learned to see the situations you fear as challenges to overcome or, in Chris’s words, ‘a call to adventure’.... Find Your Power has taken up permanent residence on my bedside table and I’d say it is a must-have for Transition ‘Heart & Soul’ groups!

This brilliant and practical book is a call to liberation: it frees us to discover, use, and enjoy the powers life has given us. (Posted on 01/07/2010)Review - Chris approaches the challenge of changing things, whether in your life or the world, as a journey or adventure. Review by Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Movement - from the Foreword
-
Chris approaches the challenge of changing things, whether in your life or the world, as a journey or adventure. In adventures, you expect to bump into things, obstacles are part of the course. But when there's too much in the way, and it seems too difficult, we tend to think of the change as beyond our power. At this point, rather than give up or feel defeated, Chris takes us on a different route: he invites us onto the quest of finding our power. By strengthening our ability to rise to challenges, motivate ourselves, find ways through blocks and design more enjoyable approaches to what we do, it becomes possible to open up new pathways forward.
