DO YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF WONDERING,
“IS THIS AS GOOD AS IT GETS?”

Many of us long to be more alive and present in our day-to-day, more in touch with ourselves, and closer to those we love. Yet no matter what we do, we can’t seem to get there. We may enjoy a full life, a successful career in the workplace or as a homemaker, loving friends and family, but despite all this we feel like something’s missing in our lives.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LIVE
THE LIFE WE REALLY WANT?

As a licensed psychologist and life coach with over 15 years experience helping people get the life they really want, I believe that fear is one of the biggest factors in feeling disconnected from ourselves and our lives.

So, what are we afraid of? Would you be surprised if I said that we’re afraid of our own feelings?

It’s our feelings that make us feel alive and vital, that bridge the gap between ourselves and others and help us to feel close. And it’s a “feelings phobia” that keeps us detached from the wisdom and power inside of us, and at a distance from others.

But, you can change this!

Living Like You Mean It: Use the Wisdom and Power of Your Emotions to Get the Life You Really Want shares a proven 4-step approach to
overcoming fear and connecting more deeply with yourself and others.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Break through old patterns so you can get unstuck,
  • Open up to the energy and resources inside you so you feel more motivated,
  • Get in touch with your personal truth and put an end to confusion and indecisiveness,
  • Experience a profound sense of meaning, purpose, and belonging,
  • Deepen and enrich your relationships and feel closer to those you love,
  • Realize your true potential and experience greater fulfillment and happiness,
  • …live your life like you mean it!

QUICK FIXES SOUND GOOD,
BUT THEY DON’T WORK

The strategies in this book offer more than a quick fix. They are based on cutting-edge research about how the brain works, develops, and changes. As such, they’ll not only help you feel more alive, vital, and present in your life, but will fundamentally change the way your brain works. In fact, recent empirical studies out of Linköping University in Stockholm, Sweden, found the Living Like You Mean It program to be an effective treatment for overcoming anxiety, depression, and social anxiety.

This book is full of stories of transformation of people who felt stuck, alone, despairing, but, in finding the courage to face their fears, in taking the risk to open up to their feelings and share them with others, changed in ways they never imagined possible.

The same can happen for you. With the right tools and practice your life and your relationships can be better.

When you practice Living Like You Mean It,
you learn that you hold the power within you
to transform your life.

Finally, someone is helping us get closer to our emotions and who we are—instead of further away from our power. A moving and inspirational read for anyone in the challenging times we’re all going through.

Where shall we run if we run from ourselves? This book asks us to look anew at our models of health and happiness and to realize that personal liberation is not possible if we are not at liberty to feel what we feel. Through stories and examples, Ron Frederick walks us through that issue in a way that is simple, clear, and focused, and that has a chance to fundamentally change human lives.

It is a delight to read a book on emotions that integrates so much of the cutting-edge research in brain, body, mind, and attachment. Ron Fredrick has managed to take difficult concepts and translate them into language that is understandable. This is a book for those who seek to reconnect with their own emotions, and with the emotions of people they care about. I highly recommend Living Like You Mean It.
