The Myths of Life and the Choices We Have

Existential concepts of freedom, choice, responsibility and anxiety are explained in a straightforward manner readily applicable toyour own life experience with over 50 practical activities that enable you to challenge their role in your life.

Through her work as a organisational psychologist & coach, Clare met many people for whom freedom was just a word.  She set out to develop creative ways to expand our choices beyond those immediately apparent.

Many people ask ‘I have achieved what I set out to achieve.  Why aren’t I happy?’

Clare began to seek answers to those questions so commonly asked and, in the process trained as an existential psychotherapist.

This book addresses the philosophical issues underpinning those questions and will assist you in very straightforward ways, to create the life you really want.  It is a valuable framework for understanding the Myths underlying Work Life Integration.

What people have said about this book:

“In relation to “The Myths of Life and the Choices We Have” I would like to add my fulsome support of the ideas expressed within the text.  I came to your book at a time when I was questioning my own choices in life.  The structure of the book led me through a journey of thought processes that helped me to make positive life changing decisions about my life’s direction.  Those decisions were not without fear and trepidation but by doing those exercises contained in each chapter that I felt were relevant to me, I have been able to deal with the fear and not let it stand in my way.  I felt released as I read the book.  I did not realise just how far my life was being controlled by the myths we all take for granted and never challenge. I have purchased copies of the book for my children and strongly encouraged them to read it.  I hope that they can avoid being ensnared by the “myths of life”.  Thank you for writing the book and if my testimonial can help others to take the first step in re-gaining control over their lives then I will be gratified.”Alan Henderson

“I don’t need counselling as I am having some here in my home town. Just wanted to say your homepage and work is awesome. I am going through these issues at the moment, not only in my own culture but also with the culture I have married into. The last two weeks I have constantly cried, you have provided some hope. I am in the middle of sending my details to you (via snail mail) for your new book. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring, and welcomed send. Thank you.”J. H.
I read Clare Mann’s book, and found it very influential when I was writing my undergraduate dissertation on individuals described as being ‘chronically sick’ but who consider themselves to be well. I feel that bringing existential enquiry to the forefront provides us with many useful tools to look at the subjective experiences of the world and those who inhabit it. Thank you for providing me with a contemporary piece of work!!!! Stuart Miles, Cardiff, UK

7 Ways To Work Effectively With Your Clients
(Audio CD)

$78.00 AUD + P & P

There is a growing interest by psychologists, counsellors, coaches and managers of how to apply existential principles in their work. Many of these professionals feel that something is missing from their particular mode of working and whilst a training in existential psychotherapy is intensive and requires the therapist to be in their own existential therapy, it is more than possible for other practitioners to apply existential principles in their work without a formal training in the area.

This CD seeks to answer a number of questions regarding the nature of existential psychotherapy, the key principles underpinning this way of working and how it differs from other modalities. It will also provide ways in which you can apply existential principles in your own work – whatever your particular training and context in which you operate.

Through examples drawn from typical client sessions, Clare will highlight the presenting existential issues and ways in which you can work with them existentially.
