About this audiobook

This is a course manual and a guide for busy parents and business professionals looking to experience more peace and calm in their busy lives, while not missing out on building a lasting legacy in family and career. Through understanding of the vagus nerve, heart rate variability and our autonomic nervous system, we can take a scientific approach to regulating our nervous system intentionally. Separate yourself from the rest of the anxious, overwhelmed, depressed and miserable members of society, by creating your own inner climate. If you devote yourself to 100 days of work and devotion, your life could be forever changed. Whatever state your nervous system is in at any given moment, is a direct indication of your reality, your experience of life. Why would anyone not want to be able to manage and nurture that to their personal, and professional advantage? This guide will walk you through the full journey to recalibrate, regulate and reclaim your nervous system state.
