Get ready to discover why luck is not random, and find out how you can attract more luck into your life. The Psychoic Revolution is an epic journey travelling through the mists of time to explore many diverse subjects including human evolution and our innate psychic communication skills, which we still possess, although they are largely hidden. By best-selling author and TEDx speaker Dr. Stephen Simpson. It continues with the later development of our toxic psychological states of mind, in particular our psychotic tendencies. Dr. Simpson shows how it is possible to keep the benefits that come from the creativity of our mild degree of psychosis, and at the same time regain at least some of our lost psychic powers. - As a result, we raise our performance, find the flow state more easily, and our mental health just might improve too. - This gifts us the opportunity to develop the psychoic state of mind, develop our powers of intuition, and get lucky. - The psychoic state of mind is the sweet spot of peak performance that makes people lucky, and lives somewhere deep in our reptile brain, somewhere between the psychotic and psychic states of mind. The Psychoic Revolution is a thought provoking book that links ancient and modern biological and philosophical concepts to peak performance. Such concepts include our reptile brain, the development of speech, self-limiting beliefs, the role of the pineal gland and the third eye. The Psychoic Revolution continues with an evaluation of the importance of spirituality to peak performance. Simpson then explores why the Jungian concepts of synchronicity and the collective unconscious are more popular now than ever. Dr. Simpson concluded that many if not all of these separate concepts were hugely important in heightening our intuition, and the huge effect this has on finding our peak performance. At every stage the emphasis is how you can use this information practically in your daily life to your advantage. Not only does this offer the greatest opportunity of enhancing personal performance, but at the same time offers suggestions to reduce stress and anxiety. This Week's Must Read - The Psychoic Revolution: Magnify Your Intuition for More Success and a Lot Less Stress by Dr Stephen Simpson Female First (Online), Published 13/11/18 After attending a course with TV hypnotist Paul McKenna, Dr Stephen Simpson went on to become one of the world's most successful mind coaches and in-demand TEDx speakers with celebrity clients in the world of sports, entertainment and business. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his new book - out now - packs a serious punch, discovers Lucy Bryson.Some people seem to have all the luck. You know the type: they're in the right place at the right time and they always come up smelling of roses.But whilst those (irritating) individuals may appear to be brimming with good fortune, the habit of "being lucky" isn't as random as first thought, according to Dr Stephen Simpson's latest book, The Psychoic Revolution. In fact, success and advantage is determined not through the stars or by chance but by mankind's innate intuition. What's more, we all possess the natural ability to increase our luck, happiness and even income - if we know how to find and harness it, that is.Sceptics, hush. I agree that one might be tempted to dismiss such a theory as baseless ideology, as yet another example of the self-help genre making outlandish claims. But Simpson's professional pedigree is substantial and impressive: a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine; a practising physician for almost 40 years; a world-renowned mind coach; an in-demand TEDx speaker; a regular observer and commentator on BBC, ITV, SKY, and Voice of America; the iTunes no.1 bestselling author of Zen Hypnosis Confidence. He's been there and has the T-shirt and initials (MB ChB MFOM MBA) to prove it.The key to being lucky, then, lies in tapping into our 'psychoic' side - the middle ground between psychotic and psychic states. It is, he says, "The sweet spot of peak performance that makes people lucky, and lives somewhere deep in our reptile brain, somewhere between the psychotic and psychic states of mind". By becoming more aware of life's serendipities and by placing our trust in what he calls the 'Invisible Giants' - those unseen hunches that tell us what to say or do in a given situation, without us having planned our words or actions in advance - we become less-stressed, happier and, by definition, luckier individuals.Unfortunately, evolution and the 'modernisation' of mankind's thought-processes have damaged our psychoic skill, Simpson suggests. Today, our reliance on verbal communication has blinded us to body language and non-verbal cues. The rise of the machine, and in particular our reliance on social media, has and continues to exasperate the problem.To kick-start our ancient 'reptile brain', the book provides practical steps about learning to talk less, to listen more, to relinquish ego, and
