WE HAVE TWO MINDS. The world''s top-selling parenting writer, and author of Raising Boys, Steve Biddulph, says that we don''t just have two halves of our brain - left and right - but we also have two minds. We have our normal mind, which overthinks, rattles about and gets defensive. And we have the real us - our complex, super-intelligent Wild Creature Mind, full of life, insight and empathy. These two minds are meant to work as a team, but in our busy modern society, we''ve all but forgotten how to listen to our Wild Creature Mind. In the midst of the world''s worst mental health crisis, Steve shows how adults, teens and even young children can use their intricate gut feelings to overcome anxiety, grow strong boundaries, and to heal and be whole again. There''s a panther inside you, deadly and alert. There''s a little soft bear cub, needing your care. There''s a million years of wisdom, lying silent, waiting to help you. It will be so pleased when you finally listen! This is absolute science, yet incredibly simple, and about to change your life. Praise for Steve Biddulph ''Steve Biddulph is a spellbinder.'' Charles Wooley ''When you find a guru willing to change his mind when evidence and humanity prompt, you rejoice. For me, Steve Biddulph is the man.'' Libby Purves
