Of course, one cannot make any medical claims. Its just a window into what could be an answer for you.
After taking the test (questionnaire in beginning of book), and reading ...

Atria, 2008
I guess Im gonna find out in 30 days....
Here is a review that wasnt written by one of the authors in the self help author circle.
The way I found this book to be written was clear, concise and to the point and did an excellent job decribing the how and why scientifically all this is supposed to work on a quantum mind level. I suppose I buy that. I have seen things like that in my life. But I also have doubts, as I am a poker player.

He shows, through case ...

Martha Beck

Dalai Lama isn't this funny
Took Martha Beck's Four Day Win to a week-long writer's conference on the coast. After two days, I was getting so much from the book I ditched the conference and took to the beach. For five days I read and wrote and listened to the seagulls. The exercises in the book were easy, and her sly writing made me laugh out loud every paragraph or two. (Rather like a sunburned crazy bag-lady.) Came out ...

A "must read" for every professional!
I read this book before staring my new job. I feel more prepared than ever for what I need to do to be successful.

The best book on the technique I have read
I was introduced to the Alexander technique by a friend about 15 years ago following a car injury in which I suffered a herniated disc, severe pain in the arm and significant loss of muscle strength. I contemplated surgery which most of the doctors were recommending but decided to opt for less intrusive approaches including physical therapy and lessons in the Alexander technique.
