Description
What if the secret to transforming your life doesn't lie with becoming a new, improved you, but instead in unlearning unhelpful habits and behaviours to allow you to re-engage with the resources that you've had all along, right from when you were a child? What if we show you how to reconnect with those resources and combine them with the best parts of being an adult - how much more exciting, fulfilling and fun would your life be?
Be More Kid is for the people out there living their daily lives with a sense of lacking, whether that's confidence, success, happy relationships...but most of all, fun. The authors believe that adults need far more fun in their lives! This book is for anyone who wants to feel the happy, upbeat, light-heartedness they once felt, but have somehow lost with time. And that, along with transformation tools and thinking, is exactly what Be More Kid provides. Be More Kid will show you:
* How to improve your outlook by having a sense of purpose
* How to build resiliance in a demanding world
* To rediscover the child-like contentment you once had
* The art & science of underthinking
All brought together through the lens of neuro-linguistic programming and other key relationship and behaviour-focussed principles, Be More Kid will show how we can all learn a lot from the wistful and playful ways in which kids tackle everyday life.
The book covers key topics including purpose, resilience, confidence, contentment and the childlike principle of the art & science of underthinking. It also includes coping strategies and thinking exercises to engage during challenging times. All brought together through the lens of neuro-linguistic programming and other key relationship and behaviour-focussed principles, research, case studies and personal experience, Ed, Nicky and Mark, who've worked together since 2016, detail how we can all learn a lot from the wistful and playful ways in which kids tackle everyday life.
