Paul Pearsall – författare

Although the tenets of self-help have been attacked before, Pearsall is the first psychologist to expose these deeply entrenched ideas to scientific scrutiny. And unlike other debunking books, The Last self-help Book You'll Ever Need goes beyond skepticism to propose a set of life-affirming (and refreshingly contrarian) axioms that can help anyone lead the Good Life.

Make your own wishes come true, with a little help from New York Times bestselling author Paul Pearsall. Like blowing out candles on a cake, we think of wishing as magic, never believing that our wishes can be realized. But wishing is more than just a dreamy occupation. It is one of our most powerful ways of influencing our own and others' destiny. In this revolutionary book, New York Times bestselling author Paul Pearsall tells us how to make our wishes come true. He reveals the act of wishing to be a unique ritual with its own set of ancient rules that can transform life. In this fascinating, step-by-step approach on turning wishes into realities, Pearsall offers the results of his ten-year study of over 2,000 wishers and shows how to wish effectively from the heart, not the brain. He presents the cultural and spiritual aspects of wishing and the facts that document and prove the crucial role it plays in our daily life. Fun, mystical, and rewarding, Wishing Well is the first book ever to show that wishes can come true, as long as we wish well. "Your intent alters your reality." --Paul Pearsall
