Rick Carson literally wrote the book on gremlin-taming 20 years ago. Now he revises this classic to include more interactive exercises and techniques he has used successfully with corporate and individual clients at his renowned Gremlin Taming Institute. This is a low-key but tremendously effective approach to banishing the tenacious nemesis within. Readers will learn:
-- How simply noticing their gremlin is the first step in gremlin taming
-- How to experiment playfully with new actions and attitudes
-- Simple exercises for tuning in to their true self and tuning out their gremlin...and much more.

Your gremlin interprets your every experience. He has nothing good to say about you or anything you do, not to mention your dreams and aspirations. Just when you feel you've out-argued or overcome him, he changes his disguise and his strategy. Grapple with him and you become more enmeshed. What he hates is simply being noticed. That's the first step to his taming. This and many other straightforward and powerful techniques await you in Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself.
