A Theory of Everything – Things I Wish I’d Known at Your Age: is a self-help book, written from a scientific perspective, but for the authors children, and in a way that is understandable for everyone.It covers the usual self-help and personal development topics like meditation, the power of the subconscious mind, nutrition, health, alternative medicine and well-being, whilst broaching on less discussed topics such as, ‘drugs’, sex, alcohol, schooling, and perspective on the state of the global health and food industry, and provides much advice, food for thought, and references to further research, on how to live your best life in its entirety. It aims to teach you everything you weren’t taught at school.It’ll gently introduce you to yourself, and will give you an insight into the life of your desires, and provides practical piece-by-piece steps for attaining that life, and for protecting yourself from negativity and toxicity along your journey. It’s described from the perspective of personal experience, and from successes and from situations that were learned from.It’s the culmination of over 20 years of research, direct experience, derived techniques, and positive results that the author has experienced during his lifetime.https://www.atheoryofeverything.co.uk
