PHIL: Definitely I'm standing on his shoulders, yes, and it's a privilege. But there tends to be a circularity in the Jungian unconscious, and sometimes, you can't afford that. How do you approach the unconscious with specific goals in mind that speak to specific problems you're having? This is where The Tools come in.

Now, in Coming Alive, they provide four vital tools for tappinginto the Life Force that resides within each of us—a wellspring of positive energy that is the source of creativity, renewal, confidence, and engagement. I thought it was outstanding! Two psychiatrists accepted that "this just really isn't working" when they realised that encouraging their patients to talk endlessly about their past wasn't giving them any relief in the present day. They found they hadn't been trained to do anything else and so were forced to devise 5 visualisation exercises of their own that anyone can apply and practice for lasting inner change. The tools are simple and they worked for me - and they also have their own philosophy of life to them: practicing them will mean pushing against ingrained habits and attitudes about what life is all about and how life works - practicing may mean accepting "I've had this all wrong". I found the fifth one especially challenging.

JOHN: Don't claim to know that something is bullshit or doesn't work before you've had the humility to try it. However, even the readable part should be read selectively. Get the techniques, skip the rest. Keep your critical thinking on.
