Discover Your Hidden Memory & Find the Real You By Dr Menis Yousry (Hay House, 15th September 2011, £10.99 pb - also available as an e-book). Watch a short video of Dr Yousry discussing the book.

From before each of us was born and up to a young age, our experiences of the world and of our parents have shaped us in ways we do not even realise. As children our brains were not developed enough to make sense of our early experiences and so these become unresolved, unconscious memories. Today as adults some of our responses to situations and events are reactions to a past that no longer exists. They have become automatic protective reflexes that can prevent us from achieving what we really want and impact on our relationships with others.

In Discover Your Hidden Memory & Find the Real You Dr Menis Yousry reveals the powerful, invisible waves of influence that inform our actions, bind us to the past and hold us back in our present. He outlines simple but effective exercises to identify exactly how our actions today are connected to our early childhood experiences and our relationships with our parents, as well as to past generations, history and culture.

An exploration of human consciousness, the book, is split into two parts. Part I looks at the conflict between our intentions and what we achieve, examining: how our social brain makes us who we think we are; why our beliefs are stronger than reality and the relationship between belief and memory. Part II outlines Dr Yousry’s healing process and includes exercises and tools to help you uncover your hidden memory and find the real you.

Dr Menis Yousry is the founder and facilitator of the Essence Foundation. He was born and grew up in Cairo, settling in London in 1974. A family & systemic psychotherapist and psychologist, he has worked with tens of thousands of people worldwide, designing and facilitating highly practical, experiential self-development courses.

Dr Yousry left his post as a senior family therapist with the NHS after 15 years in order to focus completely on bringing his work to a wider audience through the Essence Foundation. In his work Dr Yousry draws on his experience in the fields of human potential, social change, culture, psychology, art, psychotherapy, spirituality and academic research into memory, brain studies and biology.

New book proves being fair, not competitive is the way to achieve a happier, healthier, more prosperous life

A new book shows that being fair rather than being competitive is really the way to achieve a happier, healthier and more prosperous life. Lynne McTaggart is one of the women who are pioneering the latest research and findings into the crossover between the fields of science and spirituality and her new remarkable findings are related in a paradigm-shifting book, The Bond: Connecting Through the Space Between Us.

This book couldn’t be more timely with the recent UK riots and the global challenges that face us all. Human beings are the most powerful species on Earth, perhaps – but we have got there by being the fairest, and not the fittest, new findings in biology are demonstrating. Our biological success story is more to do with our ability to share and empathize than just adapting to our environment – and we even have a ‘fairness spot’ hard-wired into our brain.

This belief — that the essential impulse of human beings and all of life is a will to connect — is at the core of THE BOND and is the result of Lynne McTaggart’s extensive research into the work of frontier scientists in a vast array of disciplines.

In fact, argues McTaggart, an award-winning journalist and author of the international bestsellers The Intention Experiment and The Field, all the crises we face today, including the financial recession, have occurred because the lives we’ve chosen to lead are not consistent with our trusting nature as givers and sharers.

“Currently, we maintain this view of the universe as a place of scarcity populated by separate things that must turn against each other in order to survive. We’ve all simply assumed that’s life,” says McTaggart. “But that’s not the story science is telling us anymore.”
