Change can begin right now. Learn to bring about dynamic personal growth and find courage, inspiration, success, and happiness with the empowering bestseller from psychotherapist Barry Michels and psychiatrist Phil Stutz.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Can you imagine what your life would be like if you could tap into a new source of power - one that has been inside you all along - to solve your own problems and become the master of your life?
Between them, Phil Stutz and Barry Michels have over 60 years of psychotherapeutic experience, helping A-list Hollywood clients work through whatever has held them back - be it insecurity, trauma, anger, lack of willpower, negativity or avoidance - to achieve their greatest work and find a deep level of fulfilment.
Now, in The Tools, the acclaimed clinicians are sharing their life-changing methods, offering a dynamic, results-oriented practice to help you unlock your potential.
Through five simple techniques - The Reversal of Desire, Active Love, Inner Authority, The Grateful Flow and Jeopardy – the authors show you how to:
- Get unstuck: Master the things you are avoiding and live in forward motion
- Control anger: Free yourself from rage and never-ending grudges
- Express yourself: Learn the secret of true confidence and find your authentic voice
- Combat anxiety: Stop obsessive worrying and negative thinking
- Find discipline: Activate willpower and make the most of every minute.
Astonishingly effective and beautifully simple, this book will give you everything you need to propel yourself forward to achieve your ambitions and be who you were born to be.

Every single thing I've written of any power or merit came through using the tools Barry taught me. Usually counterintuitive, sometimes dangerous, they only changed my life.
Stephen Gaghan, Academy Award-winning writer of Traffic and writer/director of Syriana

The clear, user-friendly approach plus a belief that ‘the power of higher forces is absolutely real’ is a winning combination. Here is the rare self-help book that doesn’t end with the self.

This summer’s most talked-about life-coaching book ... Every so often, a book comes along that crosses over from the self-help shelves and becomes a phenomenon, giving us a new perspective on some of the problems life has a nasty habit of throwing at us. It’s about to happen with The Tools, a reinvention of the classic self-help manual that has had the Easy Living office buzzing ever since it landed on our desks.
