"Clearly and concisely written." (Yoga Magazine, January 2007) “Stefanino offers simple, powerful exercises and case studies. Buy the book, read the column, heal thyself”.(Gay Times, March 2007) "Through the medium of stories gathered from her experience we learn much about dealing with negativity, understanding our emotions and, importantly, dealing with our own emotional baggage." (IoD Hertfordshire, Summer 2007)
Extensive research has proven that both personal and business success have more to do with emotional and spiritual intelligence than hard graft, perseverance or even good old common sense. The bad news is that no-one can 'give you' either emotional or spiritual intelligence. But the good news is that - because those intelligences are already lying dormant deep within you - you can learn how to harness these powers for yourself. Effectively you'll become your own guru - and once you've discovered how to tap into your hidden resources, you'll find yourself rapidly shortening the learning curve to both happiness and profits! Written in an engaging style by former journalist Olivia Stefanino, Be Your Own Guru is intriguing, inspiring and above all, accessible. Personal anecdotes and real-life case studies will be incorporated into an overall 'program' which will enable readers to be their own guru in less than two months!
