The secret to getting exactly what you want from life — from the man who has!

A businessman who has built up, owned and sold software companies, a nightclub, a bed and breakfast (plus a couple of alehouses), author Robin Nixon knows that worldly success has little to do with the world. It begins with one's self—and one's deepest thoughts. When altered, your thoughts have the ability to impact your behavior and immediate universe, and, indeed, your destiny. Known as "Creative Visualization," this powerfully simple tool has adherents as well known as Oprah Winfrey. In Creative Visualization For Dummies, Robin Nixon gives you the practical tools for pinpointing your goals, becoming more assertive and self-confident, and increasing energy levels and creativity—while on a new journey of self-fulfillment.

Includes useful visualization techniques and exercises that help you tune into the mind/body connection
Offers psychological approaches that allow you to take real steps towards success and happiness

For those interested in finding a new direction or finally creating their own luck, this tell-all guide—from the man who's capitalized on its secrets—will offer an inspiring game plan for a new beginning.

From the Author:

Life is a journey, for all of us. Whether we realize it or not, we are all traveling on our way through life. We are headed in different directions, stop off at different locations (sometimes for a short while, sometimes for a very long time), and often backtrack on ourselves. The destination isn't important, and neither is our place of departure. What is important, though, is that we keep on going, learning new things, meeting new people, and enriching our own and other people's lives as we do so.

Somewhere along my journey I found that people were interested in what I had to say and so I became a writer. I began writing about technology and computers, but then my sight focused on what I believe is the most important thing there is: the journey, or simply living life. So now I write about tricks I have discovered and ways of thinking that have helped me on my journey (and which I believe will help you too) and Creative Visualization For Dummies is my first book on the subject. In it I have tried to put down everything I've learned over the last two or three decades about using positive visualization creatively to enhance your life, and achieve your goals and ambitions.

And the reason I wrote this book is because I have proof that these things work. By taking the time to soak in your world, study it, learn to love and learn to live it, and then sharing it with your friends and loved ones, you can become far more fulfilled and happy than you ever thought was possible. It's simply a matter of taking the time to put things in focus, and then whatever goals you put your mind to become so much more achievable.
