Hi Adam
Firstly , must admit you have some stunning mind maps. Obviously you and your team have put in one heck of a lot of work.
Am a little confused though as to how purchasing a mind map on stress and looking at it would actually shift any stress related issues a person has.
For me, these mind maps are far far too busy – and just looking at the amount of words and colours and images etc etc is not something that I have ( as yet ) got any benefit from.
If I am not careful, just looking at the mind map is enough for me to to think – boy what a complicated subject and where do my eyes go to help me come to grips with this ?
On the contrary, a gentle approach – which is so so simple and very powerful – is the marvellous area of ‘tapping’ or energy psychology .
We figure that we have to use words and images and diagrams to help people through issues. Well, sometimes I think that is too slow, too cumbersome and not required at all. We seems to get trapped in words and that words can help folks.
One way of the future will definitely be energy psychology – as this can be taught easily and even kids ‘get it’ and benefit greatly.
Hopefully other folk do benefit from these mind maps – but not this guy.
Cheers – and keep up your great work.
