in 2020 and beyond---if people REALLY want change---it begins with inner peace of the self, compassion, love and words that are empowering to not only hear but to use in communications as well. The problem in the present---those in position of power(in particular the leaders, scholars, psychologists, govt, congress, ministers,etc) believes that they all have the secret sauce to success towards evolvement. Well unless you've read or listened to any of Mark's book----everyone that hasn't haven't a clue. I was part of that "everyone" until I was listening to Mark on NPR. By the time I'd arrived home from my commute, I'd ordered whatever he was selling within a book and audio version of Words Can Change Your Brain. The key: Consistency. Mark offers some resourceful and practical solutions towards those who are struggling with maintaining positivity in their life. That might be 95% of the planet right now. Trust, Read, Absorb, Share, Repeat. I hope this review helps a million somebodies. Peace!
