In 2020 I was working on a book project that nearly made me lose my mind; Ultimate Therapy was the name of the book that I was writing.

The concept of the book was simple – the reader would meet in each chapter one of the greatest therapists of all time in order to have a therapy session with them.

In one chapter they would meet Sigmund Freud in order to get a psychoanalysis session…in another, they would meet Viktor Frankl, in order to learn how to infuse their suffering with meaning… in another, they would meet behaviorist B.F Skinner in on order work on their bad habits.. and so on.

Sort of like speed dating but with the greatest mental health experts of all time.

Great idea right? I thought so too – the only downside to it – the book project required me to read, understand and transform the works of the greatest therapists of all time into a do-it-yourself literature format.

A grandiose quest for someone with my limited cognitive abilities.

Luckily for me, this wasn’t the first time that I stumbled over a task that was outside of my competence so I knew what to do; Find someone who already managed to overcome a similar challenge of equal or higher difficulty and ask them how they did it.

This is how I discovered Tom Butler-Bowden – one of the world-leading experts in the field of personal development and the author of the best-selling 50 classics book series.

When I learned that Tom Butler-Bowden condensed and reviewed the 450 greatest books of all time I immediately reached out to him in order to ask him how he did it and what he learned from it.

Luckily for me, he made room in his busy schedule in order to share with me the tactics that helped him to finish the book series that would eventually be purchased by over half a million people on the planet.

Tom Butler-Bowden is one greatest individuals that I ever met in my life and it is an absolute honor for me to introduce him and his work to you.
