Secrets of the People-Whisperer

Secrets of the People Whisperer - Perry's book about human communication, looks at everything from awareness of our own physical, mental and spiritual communication through to how we interact with the Universe and other people at soul level - and has inspired countless people to transform their lives using its Twelve Secrets. Perry learned the true art of communication in the most unforgiving of situations: standing in front of a half ton of agitated, hypersensitive horse. In Secrets of the People Whisperer , he shows how the same techniques for developing trust and understanding with a horse can work equally well in one's personal, business, family, and romantic relationships. Proving the timeless axiom "actions speak louder than words," Secrets of the People Whisperer explains how to be a highly skilled communicator who sends and receives messages that are far more powerful than mere speech. The author's unique methods allow one to clearly relate to and positively influence another person for the mutual benefit of both parties. Finally, the author reveals how mastering this deeper way of communicating improves virtually all aspects of one's life, from more fruitful work relationships to personal relationships that are open, loving, and trusting. "

The 12 SECRETS OF THE PEOPLE-WHISPERER ARE:

Secret One: Know who you really are
This secret teaches you to know and accept yourself on all levels without judgment, so your channels are open and clear when it comes to communicating with other people. Be who you are mentally, physically and spiritually: risk being open, true and vulnerable to experience all the life has to offer.

Secret Two: Listen to yourself
This secret helps you to tune in to what is going on in your mind and your emotions, so you begin to become aware of your thoughts, emotions and how you 'speak' to yourself, and realize how the ways you speak to yourself creates the kind of life, relationships and experiences that you have.

Secret Three: Trust your body
Here you are shown how to acknowledge that your body is one of your greatest allies and a source of information that never lies. 'Listen' to what your body is telling you, watch what your body language says about you and what it tells other people.

Secret Four: Hold the space
This secret teaches us to totally and profoundly listen to what is being communicated, not only by the words that are being said, but by the energy and message that is being communicated beyond the words.

Secret Five: Speak with Mastery
This secret shows you how to speak with power, influence and empathy, effectively communicating your message so that you are truly understood by whoever you are talking to. Here you will also learn how to access your own authentic voice and speak from your heart or head, whichever is appropriate.

Secret Six: Enjoy fulfilling relationships
This secret helps you to build fulfilling relationships with others by being comfortable with everyone you meet, by developing rapport, by giving love and approval and by being aware of the ways that other people affect your energy when you communicate with them.

Secret Seven: Get into other people's shoes
Here you are shown how to acknowledge, respect and work with the differences between yourself and others: and to understand people and situations by putting yourself in other people's shoes.

Secret Eight: Create healthy boundaries
This secret teaches us ways to create and maintain healthy boundaries, and find progressive ways to deal with conflict, difficult behaviour, emotional toxins, baggage and people who are 'controlling.' 

Secret Nine: Balance work, life, sex and money
This secret shows how to achieve balance in all areas of life - work, rest and play; and to fully engage in all that life has to offer.

Secret Ten: Share the Path to Success
Here you will learn to work with others to achieve all-round success and create 'win-wins,' by asking powerful questions and by motivating and nurturing ambition in a balanced way.

Secret Eleven: Express your Personal Power
Here is the secret of how to step into your personal power by being self-reliant, inspirational to others, a person to be admired and yet retaining humility! This secret tells you to trust your innate attractiveness, other people and the Universe to bring about your intentions, for the highest good.

Secret Twelve: Ask the universe
This secret shows you that the universe answers every request you make, however incredible or unintentional your requests may be: this includes encountering key companions and allowing soul-mates into your life to make up your own fellowship and accompany you on your life-quest.
