Product Description

Most people think of life as either something that happens to them or as something which they have to bend to their will. Life in short is seen as a series of problems requiring solutions. As a result people spend much of their lives either in escape activities or driving themselves to achieve, often both at the same time. But life becomes qualitatively different when we see it as a theatre in which we decide what is going to happen and then let it happen in the way that an artist will allow his or her creation to appear. This book is an example of the message that it teaches. Forster records methodically how he himself stopped struggling to work against his own feelings and to let his life happen. Exciting and inspiring, his own story with accompanying exercises for the reader prove the life-changing fact - that when we give priority to the workings of our unconscious minds we can trust them not to let us down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant self-coaching book - very useful., December 1, 2004

By	N J Perryman "reindeer girl" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Strangely the books has been wrongly called on Amazon "How to Live Your Dreams" although the book is actually called "How to Make Your Dreams Come True". This book and Mark Forster's other book "Get Everything Done and Still Have Time To Play" is great. A short and very useful read - the concepts are easy to grasp and the book won't take long to get through so you can rapidly get on with applying the practical methods to your own life. There is an easy to follow plan that summarises the steps and exercises to go through to learn and consolidate the methods shown in the book. He uses the unusual method of dialoguing with his imagined future self who coaches him to become the person he wants to be, working towards a personal vision so you can actually "see" the methods being demonstrated as you read the book. I found this fascinating as the process unfolded. Coupled with this he suggests really easy and quick methods of getting stuff done, goal setting and feeling better and more positive about your life and the goals you want to achieve. Mark is cool, because he is so down to earth and doesn't pretend to be perfect. I can see why he has recently been nominated one of the top 10 coaches in the UK by the Independent on Sunday newspaper. The book is written with honesty, humour and is very, very practical. Most of all the methods really work. I highly recommend this book.
