Fully human

Steve Biddulph

a new way of using your mind

Becoming fully alive is something that deep down we yearn for. We are so far away from being 'the possible human'. We've been robotised by modern life into lonely separate shadows of the wild aliveness that we ought to inhabit, that human beings once were. Neuroscience backs up this message - we just don't use what we've got, waiting there just below the surface. And this book shows you how. Our problems with anxiety and mental health, our shattered families, our burdens of trauma personal and planetary, the terrible distortions of masculinity we have suffered for centuries, the simple lack of joy and aliveness that defines modern life - all are all swept away with this astonishing toolbox for re-activating the powers of our body-mind system. Neuroscience and therapy have arrived at a new threshold of personal liberation. A lifetime working with trauma and healing has led Steve Biddulph in his final stage of life, to this remarkable synthesis. Its his best, most shattering and powerful book ever. Deeply personal, straight talking, funny and practical, these insights can be taught to a five year-old, but can transform the most damaged and shut down adult. It's what the world most needs right now. For us to become Fully Human
