Author
Phil wrote his first book in 2007, the ‘10 Questions To Ask For Success’, which was published by Nipton Publishing. He then went on to write ‘An Introduction to the Lightning Process’, ‘Dû: Unlock Your Potential With a Word’.
In 2011, Phil started working with Hay House who published the second edition of the ‘10 Questions To Ask For Success’ and the fourth edition of ‘An Introduction to the Lightning Process’.
In September 2013, they published his fourth book, ‘Get The Life You Love NOW‘. This was a very exciting book for Phil as it’s the result of many years of research into how people can get the best out of their lives. The book teaches you how to use the tools of the Lightning Process for happiness, success and fulfilment.
‘An Introduction to the Lightning Process’ has now largely been replaced by a range of interactive audio programmes ‘Part 1 of the Lightning Process’, these are the best starting point if you are interested in taking the Lightning Process course to address your health and wellbeing issues – you can find these here
In May 2023, Phil published through Amazon his latest book ‘The Coach That’s Always There: Inner Wisdom Whenever You Need It‘. This looks at the incredible skills that we all have within us and just need support in accessing.
