WILLPOWER:
Why
is
it Virtually
Powerless to Do Your Will?
Motivation,
will power, and
positive attitude are all we need to escape our limitations, overcome
our
obstacles and turn our dreams into reality. Right?
Not according to the “Mental
Escape Artist,”
Mark
Evan Furman, a world-renowned cognitive
neuroscientist,
prolific author, speaker and performance consultant, who debunks sheer
willpower as usually, having virtually no power to consistently obeying
a
person’s own will.
In your interview, Furman
explains that many of us are entrapped, or imprisoned, by limitations
such as
addiction, OCD, fear, stress, depression, overeating and others. He
explains
that willpower alone is not enough: “Most people who have attempted to
escape
such limitations are likely to get trapped by another limitation soon
after
they have escaped from the prior one.”
“Motivation, will power and
positive attitude are not enough because you simply can’t escape what
you
cannot see; you need a map and a compass to break free from your
limitation,
your Mind Prison.”
Furman is the founder of
Cognitive Neurophysics, a branch of science dedicated to understanding,
predicting, influencing, changing and transferring human behavior. His
book,
The Neurophysics of Human Behavior, has been highly recommended as an
indispensable handbook for the guidance of professionals in such fields
as
strategic business development, marketing, consulting, criminal
psychology and
sales.
Let Mark tell your listening
audience how his Mind Imaging methodology can give them access codes
that can
reveal the best escape route so they can break free from their
limitations and
turn their dreams into reality. <>
Mr. Furman can even do an on-air
demonstration, and maintains that anyone with a drawing pad, four
colored
markers, a watch and a calculator can learn to escape any limitation
that’s
holding them back in life and turn their dreams into reality.
Through his lectures, workshops and
writings, Mark
has trained, mentored, inspired and coached business executives,

and marketing professionals spanning 4 continents. He has recently

the University
of Arizona and is
