In the ground-breaking best-seller, ex-physicist Phil Gosling takes the ideas of goal-setting, personal success, love, and wealth creation and compares them with the latest advances in science to reveal a staggering new world in which everything you say and do affects the outcome not only of your life, but the lives of thousands of others. See the incredible science behind how you have unwittingly used the forces of nature - the very heart of physics - to literally engineer your life to date and discover how you can use that same science to create the new life you have always yearned for. Phil disentangles the myths behind some modern self-empowerment techniques and gives you a glimpse of a brave new world that has shocked, even split, the scientific community. He takes you from the Pentagon to the deepest reaches of space, then into the most secret niches of science, beyond atoms to finally reveal an incredible truth: To succeed we don't change ourselves, we change the world around us. We don't draw events and circumstances into our lives, we create them. We have control.
