Читать книгу Supercharge Your Emotions to Win - Benjamin Halpern - Страница 7

PREFACE

I am extremely pleased that a book has materialized from what for so many years has existed in my thoughts and practice. The efficacy of my approach to helping people win the life they desire and deserve has been proven by the thousands I have had the honor to serve directly through face-to-face counseling. But it has also been seconded by the many requests I receive daily in my offices for documentation of my approach. Now, finally, I can refer them to this book. After all, a book can travel to many people in many places a lot more quickly and effectively than one man with clients to counsel or seminars to conduct. And a lot less expensively, too!

Why is my approach successful? Because it helps people to access logic through what I call their emotional brain. Too many methods and books counsel change through logic and facts. But people aren’t stupid. They get the reasoning behind change. They know that to lose weight you just have to eat less. And to get fit you just need to go to the gym daily. And to make money, you just need to make a lot of sales calls and follow through on the feedback you get until you hit the jackpot. However, as my book shows, the limits that people put on themselves to follow through on this kind of logic and knowledge must be dealt with first. And how is that done? By developing and attaching strong, productive emotions – supercharged emotions – to understanding and decision-making.

But who helped me to reach the outcome I desired – to publish this book? I would like to thank Theresa Dugwell, publisher of Genesis Publishing at BPS Books, for this and so much more. She was a recognized world champion as a runner before I met her, but through this project she became a champion for me on a personal level. When I shared my desire with her to reach a larger number of people with my seven keys, she picked up the baton and crossed the finish line, making my desire a reality.

Speaking of personal support, I would like to thank my dear parents, who have been there for me in every way possible from the moment I was born to this very day. May they continue in good health to reap the rewards of their hard work for many happy years to come. My thanks also to my siblings, who have been and continue to be an indescribably valuable source of support and inspiration that I can’t imagine my life without.

Kudos to my dear children, who are G-d’s most amazing and greatest gift. They make every day something to truly look forward to.

And last but not least, my heartfelt gratitude and deepest appreciation to my dear wife, because what I have achieved is all hers. She is my life partner. She has done more than her share in every way, and has created the perfect environment for me to thrive, and for that I am eternally indebted.

I look forward to meeting you, my readers, some day and hearing how you have supercharged your emotions to win.
