Self Help Stories by J Macgregor
A collection of powerful therapeutic stories to heal, motivate and inspire your journey to self-improvement and greater happiness. The human brain is hardwired for story, not facts.

The powerful therapeutic tales in this collection will guide, heal, and motivate your journey to self-improvement and personal growth. Baboons, pumpkins, red kettles, elephants, dandelions, scorpions, sinking ships, rebel planets, and toddlers at the wheel - these fun fables and fascinating tales contain profound lessons to help you lead a healthier, happier and more meaningful life. More than just a collection of inspirational anecdotes, each short chapter comes with: - Questions to challenge and stimulate your thinking about the topic; - A short story with a clear message; - A simple analysis so that you can understand the relevance for your life; - A set of practical action steps and tips which you can follow to make constructive changes in the way you think, feel, behave and relate to others; - A short and sharp takeaway to help you remember the lesson.
