Ready to Take the Ultimate Transformative Journey Inside Yourself?
If you could abandon feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, worried, angry, guilty, and frustrated, and finally achieve the happiness and success you know you are meant to, would you take the steps to do so? What if those next steps happened to be remarkably fun, engaging, simple, and sometimes rather unorthodox?
Internationally renowned personal growth expert, life coach, and acclaimed motivational speaker Brian Vaszily takes you on the ultimate deep journey inside yourself by guiding you into the world’s 9 most transformative life experiences. They will engage your body, mind, heart, and spirit -- and break through the internal barriers holding you back -- like nothing you’ve experienced before. Brian’s playful but powerful techniques have already been the catalyst for rapid, positive change for tens of thousands of people worldwide. In his new book, his "magnum opus," The 9Intense Experiences: An Action Plan to Change Your Life Forever (John Wiley & Sons, May 2011), Brian combines the latest research from neuroscience and positive psychology with ancient wisdom, creating simple and proven techniques that dissolve the barriers that have built up inside you and enable you to achieve exceptional clarity and focus on your most important goals, and the ongoing energy and drive to achieve your goals.
Brian Vaszily believes the biggest issue facing people today is an increasing sense of feeling overwhelmed and weary and therefore insignificant and powerless to achieve their goals and dreams. This is causing a widespread disconnect from self-awareness, true purpose, empathy, joy and wonder.
Despite endless daily opportunities for simple but powerful experiences that prevent and overcome the anxiety while sparking ambition, clarity, awe, and deep happiness -- "Intense Experiences” -- people are instead settling for a success-sabotaging, health depleting, and happiness-numbing pattern of mediocre to toxic experiences.
Notes Vaszily, “If people are primarily allowing mediocrity in, then mediocrity is primarily what they will get out, including anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, angry, lonely, lost, insignificant, and all the rest. People are settling for existing versus really LIVING. Intense Experiences are the most nourishing experiences available to people’s minds, heart, and spirit, and though virtually everyone has forgotten or never learned the power of these experiences, engaging in them will rapidly change their lives.”

The 9 Intense Experiences provides the most transformative actions that you can take right now, using what’s around you every single day, to change your life rapidly. Incorporating popular culture references to movies, music, art, the Web, and more, and incorporating elements of Brian's own life story and the stories of others who have achieved deep happiness and success (now and throughout the ages) by staying committed to these principles, the heart and soul of the book are the practical, fun, and proven exercises found within each experience that clear through people's emotional "rust and crust" and spark their deep self-awareness and clarity and motivation to achieve what matters most.
While it is based on a foundation of cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology and other fields, The 9 Intense Experiences is like no other book on clearing through emotional barriers and empowerment. Brian will ask you to do some pretty unusual things (don't worry, though, they're fun, they're irresistible ... you'll be drawn to do them!) And once you complete the exercises, you will experience far greater awareness of who you really are and how to take your life where you want it to be. In fact, Brian is going to ask you to do unorthodox exercises like:
- Pull a Highly Transformative “Ferris Bueller's Day Off" Stunt
- Make a Tree Your Best Friend
- Get Lost ... Intentionally and Routinely
- Have a Conversation with a Dead Person
- Host a Macaroni, Chili, and Underwear Party
- Enjoy Your Own Last Supper

- Talk Stupid and Act Like an Idiot
- And Other Offbeat But Highly Effective Actions Sure To Raise An Eyebrow
