The author give some interesting tips on how to be a Second circle person breathing techniques, chin up etc. Jan 26, John rated it liked it. Great concept. I feel as though it probably only needed to be half as long. Or perhaps the recent slough of self-help writers out there are saying very much the same thing in different words.

Jun 23, Kristy rated it it was amazing. This is a fantastic book for people who are intuitive, at all, ever. Patsy Rodenburg sees the energetic language we are all speaking to each other, and explains it in a way that her students can get a handle on it and understand how to use it to an advantage, their own and the world's. Really solid advice for people in general, but especially performers or people whose jobs entail talking and connecting with others. Wonderful advice, highly recommended.
