FOR PODCAST HOSTS · FIRE HORSE PRESS

Read it first. Then decide.

MIND CONTROL was published September 22. It began with 160 interviews about the self-limiting belief that costs people the most: 158 could name theirs precisely, and naming it hadn’t freed them. The book is about why — a self-limiting belief is a door held shut from the inside — and about who’s holding the door and how to open it.

It’s written for people who have read the books, done the inner work, and gained real insight — and still find themselves repeating the same patterns. If that describes your listeners, request a complimentary copy of the finished book below. Read it and decide for yourself.

THE WHOLE BOOK

If MIND CONTROL might be right for your show, I’d rather you read the finished book than a pitch about it. Tell me who you are and the name of your podcast, and I’ll email you a complimentary review copy. You can choose the format you prefer, including Kindle, Apple Books, EPUB or PDF.

Your copy arrives by email, with an occasional note from me about the book. Unsubscribe anytime.

Why I wrote it

I was aware, but stuck. Painfully stuck.

I spent decades suffering inside a mind I didn’t know I could control and lead, certain the problem was me. The 160 interviews showed me it was much bigger than me. It was part of the human condition — and it wanted to be solved. That’s when a private search became a book.

I wrote it so suffering stops being passed forward, and something better gets passed forward instead. Love is my why.

—Phillip Van Winkle

THREE CONVERSATIONS THIS BOOK CAN CARRY

Aware, and still stuck. Why insight doesn’t hold — and what does.

Which “I” is talking? Three first-persons in one human being, and why the one who was never broken is the one who can lead.

Hiding in plain sight. Five ways high performers hide — the strong one, the helpful one, the one who has it together — and why only one of them looks like hiding.
