This is really exciting. I'm going to be interviewing David Hamilton tomorrow, author of It's the Thought that Counts, Why Mind Over Matter Really Works. http://www.drdavidhamilton.com/index.html
I'm going to be featuring him in an article I'm writing for Red magazine on all the best life changing experts in the world.
David is a scientist, acquiring an honors degree in
biological and medicinal chemistry, and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry
before working as a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry for
several years. His research into the mind-body connection – and the placebo effect – ultimately
led him to leave that profession and become a motivational speaker. He
went on to co-found an international relief charity, and he appears
regularly in the media. He spends most of his time writing, giving
talks, and leading workshops.
I can't wait to talk to him tomorrow and will post the interview asap!

All this credit crunch palaver had been driving me to the sofa and making me eat buckets of pasta.
Not great. So headed to my book shelf to find my old friend Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now.
How brilliant is this man! Just focussing on the following got me to prise the fork from my gob:
- Consider
the thought: “nothing exists
outside this present moment’ and the idea that the past and the future are
illusions. After all, they only exist to the degree we focus our
attention on them right now. We create the past and the
future by imagining them in the present. But we don’t even
exist outside the Now.” - Consider
the thought: “To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need
of past for your identity and future for your fulfilment.” - Consider
the thought: “The psychological condition of fear is often divorced from
any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease,
worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind
of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something
that is happening now.”
I'm sorted now. Until the next news bulletin.
Definitely going to run a 'big peace' day in January/February next year.
The fantastic John Parkin – author of F**k It, the ultimate spiritual way (about to be published by Hay House any second!) has agreed in principle to come and am talking to the amazing William Bloom, author of The Endorphin Effect to see if he will take part too.
If your attention span is as bad as mine, it's good to have some great tools in the bags. John is funny and lovely and not as scary as the title of his book makes him out to be. I just want William to be my Merlin.
Will let you know what happens. x
