Everyone agrees with TOM!

…and they want some of what TOM has…

Happiness, Success, Great Relationships

TOM is one of those intriguing sorts of guys – we all know and envy one – who seems to always get what he wants. He’s Trusting and trustworthy, has clear Objectives and is always brimming with Motivation. Not only that, the people around TOM seem to Trust him, they understand his and their own Objectives and are always Motivated to work with him on whatever he is currently up to. How is it that these three personal attributes work so well for him?

TOM explains the basic principles of ‘how to get people, including yourself, to get things done and still have a good time’. When you get right down to it, isn’t that what we mean when we say we*re having a good life – we’re getting things done and having a good time?

In the story, TOM sets off to climb a mountain and learns something from every adventure along the way. On his return he becomes a life coach and eventually runs into BJ, one of the characters from the story. TOM coaches BJ (and the reader) on how to turn ‘bad’ days into ‘good days’ by using the principles he learned on his mountain journey. The book concludes with BJ telling TOM the story of his new ‘good’ day and how he has applied everything he has learned.

For such a huge topic, why is it such a small book? …because it really is very simple. This book has been structured using the very latest in En-Lightning Learning (accelerated learning) techniques – techniques that not only make learning lightning fast, illuminating and effective, but also more enjoyable and easy for the human mind to absorb and act on.

This book is about achieving results and enjoying the journey.

The Enlightened Response

“We often rush through the moment to get to the joy. If we choose to stop and fully experience the moment we will find the joy is already present.”

Could enlightened responses stop war and conflict? In the world, the office, in relationships? Life is a fast ride, but “The Enlightened Response” hands you the controls. This text demonstrates how you create your life, moment to moment, choice by choice. We can only change – creating better relationships, better health, more happiness and more wealth – if we know what we’re changing.

This is a book about observation – self-observation. It teaches us to carefully watch our own lives and behaviour so that we understand what works and what doesn’t – what causes us to be happy or sad; calm or stressed; peaceful or angry. Once we have this storehouse of information, we should then be able to choose responses that bring us what we do want and avoid what we don’t want, in every aspect of our lives. Ross Page calls these choices “enlightened responses”, and they are based on self-knowledge and awareness – made with conscious choice, not out of habit.

Beginning with simple observations of daily chores, self-observation can also bring us instant moments of peace. When we are totally focused on an activity in the present, we cannot possibly be haunted by the past or anxious about the future. Stress is completely banished. We can then consciously extend these moments into hours and eventually create a life of enlightened responses instead of strings of “knee-jerk” reactions.

“The Enlightened Response” aims to help us fine-tune the tools we already possess to maximize our potential for living a happy and rewarding life. First, hit the PAUSE button – look at what you’ve got, consider what you’re offered, and choose an “enlightened response”.

The author asks us to imagine a world where everyone chooses Enlightened Responses. He says, ‘If we can imagine it, we can create it.’
