"Drawing from diverse fields of applied neuroscience and cognitive psychology, in Chasing the Dragon's Tail, Craig crosses the traditional boundaries and theories that have separated scientific thinking and human experience in the past. In doing so he opens the door to a bold new paradigm of self-discovery and empowerment." Dr. Justin James Kennedy, Professor of Neuroscience, Executive Coach, Psychologist We chase the "dream: " promotions, goals, sometimes achieving it only to discover we are not happy. But we can't quite work out why. It's all about how we feel, NOT what we think, that makes all the difference. Drawing on current neurological research to embrace behavioural change, Chasing the Dragon's Tail aims to inspire and light your Dragon's Fire from within. What is directing you? What is your flame?
