The decision to look at life from new perspectives gives the chance to earn your true value in the world and to profit from constructive change. Rather than being held back by old beliefs and attitudes, the listener moves into a new way of thinking, a new way of acting, and a new way of life.

The way it works is simple. My thoughts are picked up by the man who is the named author. He thinks he is creating tales from his imagination but he is actually just setting out the accounts that I send to him. In the same way that I read my readers; he reads me unknowingly.
Certainly, his name goes down as the writer because he thinks that the words and ideas are his. And in this way, which is honest rather than devious, I get my words into a book for others to read. And he is happy because he thinks he has written this book. Little does he know what has happened. There, now you know how it was done.
Please enjoy the book.

REVIEW Brian Page, editor of Mensa Magazine
This is a brilliant book. The stories would very much have stood up as a collection of work in their own right but the extra and imaginative addition of the idea that there is a book that reads people adds to the brilliance.
If you like stories with a twist, ones that reveal the vagaries of life in all it many forms then this is definitely for you.
Very highly recommended.
