Socrates certainly knew it, as did the Buddha, and more recently, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Emily Dickinson. It is a secret not because it is hidden as such, but because it is so difficult to see, running counter to so many of our most basic assumptions.</p><p>Each of the book's ten chapters exposes a particular aspect and practical application of the secret, while also keeping it carefully under wraps. On the surface, the chapters may seem to have little in common, but they are all built around the same wisdom. Your challenge, as you read, is to find the common thread that runs through all the chapters. The secret is discussed at the end, but don't peek or you'll spoil the fun.</p><p><strong>Contents</strong></p><p>Introduction</p><p>1. How to see</p><p>2. How to dream</p><p>3.

Now, don't misunderstand me; this doesn't feel like reading a heavy text. It isn't like that at all; it is highly accessible while still being thought provoking. --Jamie BJ, Amazon.com Top 100 Reviewer</p><p>This is a gentle, easy read, arranged around bit-sized chunks to reflect on. I very much enjoyed it and loved the mix of philosophy, ancient wisdom and mental health topics and I appreciated the author's breadth of knowledge and experience. Now that I've finished it, I will be dipping into this book again from time to time, to reflect on further. --Susan Glazier on Amazon.co.uk</p><br>
