Empowerment

"For over two decades, David Gershon and Gail Straub have inspired and empowered thousands of people to transform their lives and contribute to the preservation of our planet. This book makes their knowledge and techniques available to all."

—Roger Walsh, MD, PhD, author of Staying Alive: The Psychology of Human Survival

Now in its 11th printing, and translated into eight languages, Empowerment: The Art of Creating Your Life As You Want It is widely considered to be a classic in the field of personal empowerment and transformation. Much more than a collection of inspiring principles, the book guides readers step-by-step through a systematic self-transformation program addressing seven key areas of life: relationships, sexuality, money, work, body, emotions and spirituality. Empowerment is based on its authors’ two decades of work helping thousands of people create the life of their dreams. Its simple premise—that our thoughts and beliefs create the conditions of our life—is illustrated with anecdotes from each of the seven areas.
