They don't tell you how to own the room. This book does • From the way Michelle Obama projects 'happy high status', and the power of J.K.

And how can you achieve that impact in your own life? Here's how

As a clinical psychologist, Dr Nicole LePera found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients - and for herself - she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves.
