There are so many self-help books around, it’s difficult to work out one that fits you, or that fits where you want to be going. Realise Your Power by Alan Lucas is a self-help book which is aimed at teenage or student audiences to unleash where your power is and where you are going.
With lots of practical exercises, the book uses the SYSO system – Sort Your Self Out. There are 7 chapters detailing how to make changes in your life, including how to Manage Your Mind, Take Charge of Your Emotions and finally how to Raise Your Vibration. If you’ve ever read The Secret, or any of the books about changing your vibration in order to increase your self awareness and get to where you want to go, then this book is in the same vein. It’s a very easy to read version with the relevant information broken down into exercises and short chapters to make them easy to understand and easy to digest.
As most teenagers and young adults will be new to this type of thinking, the book plays into making the information easily digestible. If you’re an old hand at self-help and psychology then you’ll either find this an enjoyable read that’s not so taxing or it may seem quite simplistic. However, there are nuggets of information that are well communicated so if you struggle with any of the aspects of Realising Your Power then some of these chapters might nudge you to a better understanding. The chapters cover the whole range of the empowerment spectrum and nothing is left out, not even the notes at the end giving you direction of where to go next in life.
The book is written by author Alan Lucas who is a psychologist and motivational speaker, having worked for companies such as Nike and Adidas. This is his second book, his first being You Don’t Need Therapy which similarly is about psychology and is aimed at teenagers and young people. He is also a qualified NLP Master Coach, Hypnotherapist, CBT Therapist and Strategic Intervention Therapist.
