Summary
With five unique tools that take only three seconds each to use, you, too, can achieve a lifetime of fulfilment.
Can you imagine what your life would be like if you could tap into a new source of power - one that has been inside you all along - to solve your own problems and become the master of your life? The Tools is an extraordinary psychological model based on the proven methods of Hollywood's greatest psychotherapists.
Phil Stutz and Barry Michels have over 60 years of psychotherapeutic experience between them. Together they have helped their A-list clients work through whatever has held them back - be it insecurity, trauma, anger, lack of willpower, negativity or avoidance - and achieve their greatest work and find a deep level of fulfilment.
Now, at last, the acclaimed clinicians are sharing their methods in this eye-opening and empowering book. Introducing their five simple techniques - namely, The Reversal of Desire, Active Love, Inner Authority, The Grateful Flow and Jeopardy - the authors clearly explain what they are and how and when to use them. Astonishingly effective and beautifully simple (once you've learned a tool it takes only three to five seconds to use it), this book will give you everything you need to propel yourself forward to achieve your ambitions and be who you were born to be.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"Hollywood's 'open secret'" (The New Yorker)
"The clear, user-friendly approach plus a belief that ‘the power of higher forces is absolutely real’ is a winning combination. Here is the rare self-help book that doesn’t end with the self." (Publishers Weekly)

Excellent work: Insightful and Practical
Of the many self help books I've read this is one of the best. I found it to be clear, practical, encouraging, intelligent, considerate, powerful, articulate, and easy to translate into action.
I'd go further and say that this book is a work of inspired genius, and I chose those works carefully so as not to exaggerate.
If you want assistance with improving your life and are willing to make the effort to use well crafted tools, this is a good book for you.
I ended up purchasing the Kindle version as well to study each tool in detail and make written notes that I can carry with me day to day for reminders.
Feels like a Godsend.

Life-changing
A truly remarkable book that really has changed my life. The 5 "Tools" are simple tasks that take just a few minutes to use every day, but their effect is very deep. They're explained clearly (the main narrator is very good, the second obviously isn't comfortable with the audio format, but only reads a small part of the book); how to do them, when to use them and what to expect from them. Each chapter ends with an overview of the tool and I bookmarked those sections so I could find them again easily.
The results of using the Tools for me? Greater focus and therefore productivity; a huge reduction in procrastination because now I have a very effective reason to act; and a calmer, more compassionate approach.

This is GOLD!
I bought this book in all forms written, audible and I watched the documentary several times. I did so I could learn and incorporate the tools to my life. Outstanding.

If you’re curious, give this book a chance and your full attention
The documentary ‘Stutz,’ led me to this audiobook and I will re-listen to this it multiple times to fully embrace the knowledge shared - once is not enough!
I found The Tools easy to listen to and I resonated with the content on a deep level.
Highly recommend.

Possibly life-changing
Only time will tell but these therapeutic tools are what I believe I have been looking for for years. How many people have you met that are going through therapy and always come out feeling worse than when they went in? Understanding the root of a mental health issue can help to an extent, but in the end you need ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis. These teachings deliver that.
The authors are very clear in their explanations and I feel like I trust what they’re telling me.
Would recommend for everyone.

Some useful techniques
Some clever techniques or "tools" explained by a psychotherapist. Overall I enjoyed the book but towards the end when it made a pitch for "the new spirituality" it lost me a bit. I would recommend the book to people who are open minded about this genre.

Fascinating book about transformation
Lots of new ideas and tools I have never come across before. Inspiration and help for people that feel they are stuck in life. A goldmine of tools and ideas to get you moving forward in life. If transformative literature is what you need look no further. I just finished the book and are now starting again I loved it so much
