Synopsis: Acclaimed headmaster Mike Fairclough reveals how reconnecting with the fearlessness and playfulness of your childhood will help you on the path to ultimate happiness and wellbeing.
As we grow up, our playful tendencies are replaced by a sensible outlook on life, we learn to fear the unknown, take less risks and eventually lose our overwhelming enthusiasm for life. But what if we could harness the joy and fearlessness we had as a child? With 25 years' experience working in schools, Mike Fairclough believes that children have powerful insights that can teach us indispensable lessons about life.
In this book he draws on his professional experience, as well as his personal journey of self-discovery, to show you how to:
· Reclaim lost traits such as imagination and adventurousness
· Lead a more playful existence, improving all aspects of your life including your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing
· Push yourself beyond your perceived limitations and step outside of your comfort zone to build mental and physical resilience
· Engage with the natural world with the awe and wonder of a child, discovering unchartered paths in the physical world as well as in your own mind
Wild Thing is about rekindling an enthusiasm for life. Allow Mike to take you on an intimate, enlightening adventure to rediscover and reconnect with your own carefree, exuberant self.
