Beyond "Positive Thoughts," New Book Teaches Playful Exercises for Personal Growth

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 14, 2010 -- (SACRAMENTO, CA) January 14, 2010 – While the economic recession has followers of the positive thought movement asking, “Hey, why isn’t this working,” Laura Hansen reminds those seeking personal and professional growth in her new book, Hand Me a Wrench, My Life Is Out of Whack, that “it’s more than just thought, it’s having the right tools to make lasting change.” To this, Hansen distills her years of training and teaching into fun, yet powerfully simple tools and techniques for everyone--even the most devout spiritual skeptics--to apply to their daily lives.

“Everything in your life is find-able, definable and changeable,” writes Hansen. “Not just in the abstract, but also in the activity of your everyday life: You can figure it out. You can change how you think about yourself. You can find the source of the parts of your life that don’t work.”

In our society today, there is a discussion about the importance of making conscious choices. In Hand Me a Wrench, Hansen questions; “But how do we make new choices if we can’t stop making the old ones? And, by the way, what motivates us to make the decisions we do? And how can we in our daily lives, be equipped to stop ourselves and say, “Aha! Wait! Let me do this differently.” That’s where Life Mechanics tools come in.

Hansen’s quirky sense of humor runs through the book and the exercises. Life Mechanics exercises employ materials such as crayons, paint, Play-Doh and stuffed animals, for example, bringing levity to the to the serious matters of love, life and happiness.

Other Life Mechanics exercises in the 10-chapter book focus on topics such as: Self Acceptance, Soul-to-Soul Conversation for Better Relationships, Creating and Assessing Your Life Road Map, Lifting the Burden of Your Missteps, Breaking Old Patterns, Releasing Judgments and Life Mechanics for Everyday Living.
