As a busy (usually stressed) but ambitious manager, this book has made me think about the way I set goals to be more effective and hopefully successful! This book gives the perfect balance of a little of the science behind how the brain functions, while giving functional, helpful tips and guidance about achieving the things that I really want. After reading Intention Matters, it will help me focus my energy on the things that do really matter. Juliet's personality comes across throughout the book, feeling like she's there coaching me! And it's a perfect size to pop in your bag anywhere you go. I will be recommending this book to friends and colleagues. A must read for anyone who feels like they are juggling too many balls or who want to feel more empowered in setting future goals!

It sounds so simple in principle but how many of us really focus our intention of what we truly want to achieve in life? We can drift from goal to short term goal while the word ambition sounds too nebulous and unattainable. In this book Juliet Adams calls out the force of intention, which guides us, whether we want it to or not, distinguishes it from other types of motive and shows how it can be used to bring us to the place we want to be. Every big picture starts with a point of precisely focused intention. This book gives you the tools to cultivate and apply it. Highly recommended for personal, business-oriented and world-changing outlooks!

This accessible, no-nonsense guide will help you formulate your journey. With fantastic gems such as the 'little brain in your gut', this book will empower professionals to help their clients really 'get' what their gut instinct is, and to sell the concept of trusting their gut. It's just one example of the many key ideas in Intention Matters that show self-care as a tool to bring out the best in others. "Harnessing the mind, brain and body" demonstrates the importance of the holistic approach to a mainstream audience. Up till now, there has been only one book I recommend, but now there are two! Juliet obviously knows her subject and has bridged the gap between knowledge and delivery to enable a wide range of people to not only enjoy this book but to learn and improve their lives. As a therapist and mediator, I would recommend this book to caring professionals, for themselves and to improve their practice, and I will certainly be using it with my clients.

Juliet Adams gives us a lot to consider, discover and process. She doesn't offer quick fixes to bring about your ideal life: be prepared to do the work. Spend some time defining your Deep Sincere Desires and explore your limiting beliefs with a mindful approach. Set those Mega Intentions and let's change the world together!
