Everyone has heard the statistics . . . 75% of Americans describe their lives as “very stressful”. . . anxiety, frustration, and burnout are rampant and with the pace of change, almost everyone predicts it’s just going to get worse! Plus, even though everyone is experiencing more stress than ever, they are also tired of traditional “stress management” and people giving them simplistic answers to life’s complex problems.

In his fourth book, Dr. Crawford addresses this problem by first explaining why this level of stress and frustration is so prevalent, and why so much of the advice about how to deal with these problems will never work! Next, using a conversational style that is free of psychobabble, this ground-breaking new book gives its readers a concrete, comprehensive system for shifting to the upper 80% of their brain (the “Top of the Mind”) and accessing the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary for success in today’s world.

"How to Eat Anything You Want, Anytime You Want, & Never Gain Weight!"

Click here to order Dr. Crawford's New audio CD

Everyone knows the problem...the vast majority of Americans are uncomfortable with their weight, and even though we spend $33 BILLION a year on weight loss programs, the situation seems to be going from bad to worse.

Therefore, what we don't need is another fad diet or "magic" weight loss system. What we do need, however, is a new, common sense approach to how we deal with food and weight...one that allows us to return to a natural way of eating and find our natural weight without counting calories or carbohydrates.

On this audio CD, Dr. Bill will discuss;

• How to enjoy your favorite foods AND EVEN DESSERTS without weight gain.
• Why "finding" versus "losing" is a better approach to weight control.
• How to shift from our body being the problem to making it a part of the solution.

As most of you know, Dr. Bill Crawford has created memorable presentations for organizations such as Sprint, Shell, & IBM, and he delivers his material with such humor and energy that he is constantly referred to as the "Steve Martin" of corporate America. In addition, his two PBS specials have been seen by over 15 million people nationwide! However, what makes him eminently qualified to speak on this topic is that even though he begins each day with a Grande’ Mocha and ends with a mug of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, he has found a way to maintain his weight of 165lbs. on a 6ft. frame for approximately 10 years. ~ ~ ~ Want to know how?
