Synopsis

This is a low-key but tremendously effective approach to banishing the tenacious, self-defeating aspects of your personality. Read it and learn; How simply noticing your gremlin is the first step in taming his power over you; How to experiment playfully with new actions and attitudes; How to realize that your self-concept is just that--only a concept--which you can change anytime; Simple exercises for tuning in to your true self and tuning out your gremlin ....and much more. Your gremlin interprets your every experience. He has nothing good to say about you or anything you do, not to mention your dreams and aspirations. Just when you feel you've out-argued or overcome him, he changes his disguise and his strategy. Grapple with him and you become more enmeshed. What he hates is simply being noticed. That's the first step to his taming. This and many other straightforward and powerful techniques await you in Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself.
