Have you ever wanted to take control of your own life?  Do you feel boxed in, unhappy, or dissatisfied with your circumstances?  You may even realize that you aren't living your dreams or up to your potential; you may be completely unaware that your past and present circumstances do not have to dictate who you are or what you are doing.  After reading Amaze Yourself: Take a Quantum Leap, by psychologist and researcher Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler, I am convinced that this book can honestly change your life if you take an active approach to applying the practical ideas and strategies presented.  Filled with success stories of real people, as well as scientific explanations of how the brain works, this book emboldens you to take a quantum leap in changing your life.  Since most self-help books focus on gradual, baby-step transformations, Amaze Yourself: Take a Quantum Leap really does surprise the reader in realizing that there are ways to instantaneously become the person you've always wanted to become.  The author gives practical advice and guidance on how to build one's self-confidence and self-esteem, how to tap into one's creative genius (that resides in all of us!), how to channel emotion into positive attitudes, and how to find ways to de-stress for your own well-being and longevity.  Not only this, but by the time you are finished reading the book, you will have the tools to decide what your dreams really are, focus on a cleared mind and enter into a higher state of consciousness, and take steps towards wisdom rather than mental aging and disease. For a person riddled with stress, obligations, past hurts, and present crises, this book was extremely helpful to me.  I feel confident and relieved that I don't have to be paralyzed by mistakes or ineffective because of negative worries and self-perceptions.  Amaze Yourself: Take a Quantum Leap has encouraged me to embrace what is, to commit to my dreams, and to actively take a part in changing the course of my life.  A big thank you to the author for presenting another high-quality, well-written book available on kindle!
