By Lucia Capacchione

Book Overview

Brain researchers in recent years have discovered the vast, untapped potential of the brain's little used, right hemisphere. Lucia Capacchione has discovered that our non-dominant hand is a direct channel to that potential and, through the "other hand" exercises and experiments in this course, she will show you how to do such things as: Talk to your inner child Aid in recovery from addictions Channel the deep inner wisdom of your True Self Help your body to heal Heal your relationships Unlock creativity Uncover hidden artistic abilities Change negative attitudes about yourself Like Betty Edwards groundbreaking work the New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Lucia's research and field work with people using their other hand provides the raw material for this book.

An amazing concept!

I'm not sure how I came across this book, but non-dominant hand writing is an astounding technique. If you get only one thing out of this book, it's the reliable truth you can get from yourself when you are looking for answers. My own left hand seems to be me at about the age of six, about the time I had to start really following rules not of my own making. She's nothing like the case studies in the book - there's no fight...

Power indeed!

I've recently started doing the exercises in this book, and I am already progressing in my efforts to overcome fear (fear being the only thing which holds people back) and achieve happiness. This book can be a major help to everyone in moving along their path of personal growth.

This is a GREAT BOOK!

The act of writing--which is usually dominated by the left, logical brain--suddenly became more intuitive, freer, and much more of an adventure. The blank page was no longer a threat or obstacle to overcome, but an invitation for my inner voice...

"The Power of Your Other Hand"

This is a neat little book that helps you tap into your spontaneous, creative, expressive side. Capaccione shows how we usually are dominated by rationality, logic, straight-lined thinking, and how we neglect the wise, intuitive, spontaneous parts of us. By asking us to do writing exercises with our "other" hand, she helps us get in touch with our inner child, with excitedness, a sense of discovery. Doing the exercises...
