INTRODUCTION

If you want a life you love, starting right NOW, then this book is for you.

It’s designed to take you through the steps of my world-changing Lightning Process® (LP), which will dramatically improve your levels of happiness, your sense of fulfilment and your future.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

This immensely practical book will take you on quite a journey, which is divided into three phases:

You’ll also learn to identify how and when you’re getting in the way of your own happiness and fulfilment.

Integration

You’ll be guided through the precise steps required to instantly change your mood and start to uncover solutions so you can be empowered in any situation.

Resilience

You’ll learn tools based on the latest research into how the brain learns – to make these changes actually stick…

So you can start living the life you love NOW.

This final point reminds me of the brilliant passage by George Bernard Shaw:

‘I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.’

So, if you want some of this and you’re prepared to work for it, this book will give you the chance to change your life.

WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE TEACHINGS IN THIS BOOK AND THE LP?

I designed the Lightning Process after researching and working in a number of areas.

First, I spent a long time considering the question, from both my personal and professional experience:

What makes for a happy life?

Second, I became skilled in the transformational fields of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming, an approach for making rapid change), coaching, osteopathy (a holistic physical therapy) and the mind–body connection.

Although you might be able to identify some elements of these methods in the LP, it’s much more than simply a mixture of these approaches. Certainly that’s the experience of the many NLP experts and osteopaths who use the LP to finally make the changes that have eluded them previously.

Third, there seems to be an element of fundamental human wisdom in the Lightning Process, as many of the thousands of people I’ve helped get the lives they love have told me how well the Lightning Process fits with the core teachings of many spiritual philosophies – approaches that, until that point, I hadn’t studied. It also resonates with many of the core ideas behind newer philosophical approaches, such as Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now (coincidentally published in the same year I designed the LP) and Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret.

This suggests to me that there are some core skills or concepts we need to learn as humans to have great lives. Throughout history the great mystics and philosophers have stumbled upon them and attempted to make them available to all. Unfortunately all too often people found that it was pretty difficult to work out what these great minds were saying or to put those concepts into practice.

However, I think the following simple question deserves a simple and practical answer:

What do I need to do to get a great life?

Based on my experience, of what actually works in the real world, that’s exactly what you are holding in your hands now.

And because life’s too short not to have a great one right NOW, let’s get to it…
