The highlight of the conference.
Myron Tribus, Author

I found Anna Maravelas' book so helpful on many levels! The whole concept of
"flooding" with adrenalin and getting caught in a space where there is only
one option of action - and it's not a pretty one - was a huge "Ah ha" to me!
I've done it - and I hate it, and now I have tools to avoid it! I'm so glad
I read it!
Margaret Kloster, R.N.

A must read for every human being!
After being introduced to this book and hearing Anna for a short 2 hours, I
carry this book with me everywhere. I am un-learning my destructive,
unhealthy habits.
If schools & places of employment required Anna's book, and people grasped
the concepts we would have no more wars, low self-esteem or road rage. As
Anna states in her introduction, "Contempt seduces even the brightest and
the best" and we do not have to look far to know this is true!
I really encourage everyone to read and put into practice what Anna teaches.
She tells us "Despite what we fear, bullying, hostility, and blame are NOT
human nature." Her book and seminar are great ways to start to heal.

Heidi Hudson-Roberts, HickoryTech Sales Support Supervisor

Dear Anna,
When I met you I was exhausted from constant conflict. Being a Vietnam Veteran I began to think the only way to peace was through death. I had been receiving therapy at the VA for many years, but I learned more about anger and my irrational responses to frustration
in your brief seminar.
During your session I realized there is a totally different way to look at life and since then I’ve made a lot of progress. During a recent meeting one of my colleagues got agitated and started yelling. Using your techniques I was able to calm him down. To my surprise the entire room was calm—everyone was relaxed, yet animated. The energy was at the ceiling when we adjourned!
And then the greatest thing happened. I realized I was the one who shifted the direction of the meeting. I can create the positive energy I need so desperately. I didn’t need to depend on anyone else to do it for me.
Anna, coming to your class was the beginning of this transition. I will never forget you.
Bruce, Minnesota Department of Revenue
