Anyone know a good electrician?

Some people will take this as vindication of NLP, that you can 'Achieve if you Believe' and that you can 'Re-create your life - right now, in 10 easy courses only £999!'

Oh dear.

The article is self explanatory - the shock and trauma that brought on these changes was so intense as to shatter completely the old pattern and force the brain to reconnect in a new way. The energy and effort required to achieve this rewiring cannot be got from a couple of mantras every second second morning for 10 minutes before breakfast.

In other words, there's no short cut to developing the powers of the mind - damn that pesky hard work again.

My friend Becky Walsh has an original take on how the brain is wired, here.
