REVIEWS:
"'Life Talk covers everything of importance, including delicate subjects which are sometimes hard to talk about. It's absolutely wonderful! One part even made me cry and is helping me deal with a personal issue.' N. L., mother of teenagers 'Dads should read it too. We often don't know what to talk to our daughters about and Life Talk really helped me to open up channels of communication with my 20-year-old daughter.' D.G., single father 'I've read it from cover to cover and it's brilliant. All teenage girls will benefit from Life Talk. The content is so useful, even for me!' M. B., headmistress 'Life Talk is an amazing contribution to wellness in its broadest sense. It helps and identifies for people many pathways to health and vitality. The emotional wisdom contained in this book is a must for every young (and not so young) person. I certainly will be recommending this book to my clients and patients.' Dr Rajen Cooppan"
