Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Our Minds: A Psychotherapist's Guide to Happiness, Connection, and Aliveness
What if there were parts of our minds that, if awakened, could make us happier, more connected, and truly alive? World-renowned psychotherapist and educator Steve Biddulph explores the concept of 'supersense' – the feelings beneath our feelings – which can guide us to a more awake and free way of living.
In Fully Human, Biddulph shares deeply personal stories from his own life and those of his clients, alongside cutting-edge insights from the frontiers of neuroscience and psychology. He introduces the Four-storey Mansion, a powerful tool for using your mind that can be taught to a five-year-old, yet also help the most damaged adult.
From a mother's life-saving trust in her 'gut feelings' to a young father's ability to grieve through song, Fully Human illuminates the wisdom of the 'wild creature' inside all of us. Biddulph shows how awakening our untapped mental potential can bring peace to the conflicts and struggles we face, enabling us to live with greater aliveness and connection.
