Even greater joy and satisfaction can be achieved as you move beyond yourself and share what you have learned with others, helping them experience the same amazing growth.
'In my profession as a physician, coaching and mentoring are essential but almost lost parts of the doctor-patient relationship. The 'healing relationship' is the moment when the doctor holds the possibility of cure or improvement as real when the patient has lost hope. Thus, the patient begins to dwell in the doctor's belief system of hope, rather than his or her own sense of despair. This requires sensitivity, credibility, and inspiration, and then patients can build a new belief structure, mobilise their own bodily resources, and begin to ally with medicine to heal.
In this book, Lou Tice brilliantly shows the hold that habits of thinking have on our behaviour, sharing his personal experiences of escaping from his own 'prisons of thought' and building new possibilities. He explores the relationship of one person, a mentor, to another, that allows the latter to grow. He brings his vast experience as a teacher and inventor to this most critical of relationships in a time that some have characterised as one of isolation and loneliness. This is an essential, even core competence for teachers, parents, clergymen - and even friends - to have.'
