Introduction 1 -5

I. Who's Driving the Bus? 7-19

Most of us let our brains run wild, and spend a lot of time

having experiences we don't want to have. Handler pokes fun at

many of our current ways of attempting to think about and solve

human problems, as he begins to provide alternatives.

II. Running Your Own Brain 21-35

Depending upon the size, brightness, closeness, etc., of our

internal pictures, we respond very differently to the same

thoughts. Understanding these simple principles allows us to

change our experiences so that we respond the way we want.

"Briefest therapy" is demonstrated.

III. Points of View 37-48

Seeing a memory from your own point of view (through your

own eyes) has a very different impact than watching yourself in

that memory from some other point of view. Knowing how to use

this difference allows you to cure a phobia or a "post-traumatic

stress syndrome" in a few minutes, among other things.

IV Going Wrong 51-67

We often try to correct problems after something has gone

wrong, rather than doing things ahead of time to make sure they

go the way we want them to. The attempted correction often

makes the problem worse.

V. Going for it 69-80

We all motivate ourselves to do things repeatedly throughout

the day. Knowing how this works makes it possible to choose

what we're motivated to do, and to use powerful positive feelings

to do it. A way to change critical internal voices into friendly and

useful allies is also demonstrated.

VI. Understanding Confusion 83-101

The ways we each organize our experience to understand

something are unique, and can be directed and modified. Much

can be learned by trying out someone else's way of understanding.

VII. Beyond Belief 103-115

Our brains code our internal experiences so that we know

what we believe and what we don't. By directly accessing and

changing this internal coding, it is possible to quickly change

limiting beliefs about yourself into resourceful and empowering

beliefs.

VIII. Learning 117-129

Our educational system has attempted to teach students con-

tent, rather than teach them how to learn. "School phobias" which

prevent learning can be dealt with easily. Memory and "learning

disabilities" arc also discussed.

IX. The Swish 131-152

By understanding how your brain links experiences, it is

possible to make any problem situation into a cue for you to

become more of who you want to be. This method provides a

generative solution for almost any problem behavior or response.

It is demonstrated with smoking and other habitual responses.

Introduction

How often have you heard the phrase, "She has a bright

future" or, "He has a colorful past"? Expressions like these are

more than metaphors. They are precise descriptions of the speak-

er's internal thinking, and these descriptions are the key to learn-

ing how to change your own experience in useful ways. For

instance, right now notice how you picture a pleasant future event

in your own life . . . and then brighten that picture and notice

how your feelings change. When you brighten that picture, do

you "look forward" to it more? Most people respond more

strongly to a brighter picture; a few respond more to a dimmer

picture.
