Navigator by Stephen Baxter
Through the window of a small biography, the author shows that a seemingly ordinary life does not stop anyone from achieving their goals. He talks about positivity, the importance of self-giving, from knowing what one wants and to actually want it. He thoroughly explains the power of thought, the use of mental cinema and autosuggestion. He even makes a nod to the psychosomatic world to make us understand the strange interdependence between mind and body, all in a style halfway between speaker and storyteller. Finally, to all those who think 'living is hell ', or those who think they were born into failure and poverty, he says, 'Bullshit It's all in your mind ' Change tes pensees, translated from French by Pacita Consuelo L Maaliw]Stephen Baxter was born in Liverpool, England, in 1957.
