This book isn’t going to change your life; you will. In such a way that you become the protagonist of your own life and make it significantly lighter, once you (re)discover the mental laws of nature that are there for the taking.

What do you consider the greatest invention of all time? I doubt language ranks high on most people’s lists. It seems so ordinary that we can think, speak, and write. But is it really? Isn’t it time we gave language the deep appreciation it deserves?

What are you actually saying based on the original meaning of words? How can you use vital language to generate new ideas, inspire, persuade, and view reality with a fresh perspective?

The book is available in our webshop with two different covers. Choose the cover that suits you (or your group) best!
