Over 80 per cent of achievement can be attributed to having the right mind-set and in relation to making changes in your life, having the right mind-set means more than simply recognising when change is needed, it means accepting that change is always possible, wanting to make changes and committing to doing whatever it takes to make those changes happen. That’s the premise for this interesting self-help book .

Bonetti, a trained hypnotist who claims to have “A” list celebrity clients has attracted critics who believe his approach can be too forceful. When we want to change our behaviour, he says that the language we use is important and small changes have huge influences on result. The difference between saying that “we are going to do” something and that we are “going to try to do” something will have a radical impact on the outcome, he says.

Avoid making the assumption that life will not give you what you want or deserve because, in most cases, what you aim to get is exactly what you will get.

Bonetti explains how different people will respond to shared experiences in entirely different ways.
