How To Live In The Present.

Let Go Of Fear, Anxiety and Regret, And Live A Happier, Calmer Life.

Updated 2020 Edition.

Living in the present means letting go of the things that are out of your control. It means being able to maintain perspective when times are hard. It means giving yourself the permission to enjoy the things you have in the here and now; thus providing yourself with a calmer, more confident inner self.

No useless medical jargon, no endless exercises, just fast proven techniques which are practical and easy to implement into your life from chapter one.

Some of the topics covered in this book include:

  • How to deal with anxiety
  • Letting go of fear
  • Gaining more confidence
  • How to make goals and stick to them
  • Conquering worry with ease
  • Becoming a more assertive person
  • Conquering regret and embarrassment
  • Practical steps you can take immediately
  • Steps to quickly change things for the better
  • And so much more!

Actually very good.

3 weeks after finishing this I felt compelled to leave a review as I am seeing good results from this in different areas of life. Think I will actually give it a second listen now.

All of this could be yours.

Want to be a calmer, more successful and happier person? less stressed? Less anxious? Less shy? More confident?

My advice in this case is clear; buy this book.

10 out of 10.

Took a chance...very glad I did!

Took a bit of a chance on this one! Had seen some good reviews on blogs but had not read into it too much - I am VERY glad I took the chance. This is an very helpful, accessible and easy-to-follow guide to letting go of things and becoming a happier calmer and more in control person. It really helped me with issues I had been having with anxiety, self esteem, worry and confidence.

Fantastic. Thank you to the author :-)

An important but accessible book

This is an important but accessible book.
Important in the way that we all need to learn how to live without so much worry, anxiety, stress etc
Accessible in the way that it is NOT full of medical terms or unrealistic advice - the advice is accessible, easy to understand and it works. This really is a great book and one I have been recommending to everyone.
