     It seems rather obvious that if you change nothing, nothing changes. So this book is the antidote to an average result and life. This book is the staircase anyone can climb when they’ve decided they want to escape their prison of mediocrity. It’s also the book that will push you through the glass ceiling that is keeping you inside your comfort zone. WHY NOT LIVE A REMARKABLE AND FULFILLED LIFE? After working with several thousands of clients, I am now able to clearly identify the patterns that ignite SuperHero Productivity in people, as well as those that block any chance of great results in the least amount of time. As a consequence of my years in the Productivity trenches, I structured the book to follow these principles: 1. Bite sized information for a daily intake that is not overwhelming but easy to digest and implement right-away. 
 2. A 30-day approach that gives you enough time to implement and test ideas and see the changes happening in your own life.  
 3. World Class strategies, tools and exercises that are science based, time proven and client tested, so you don’t have to sort out what’s working from what’s not. 
 4. The optimum mix of structure, discipline and motivation over the course of 4+ weeks:
 a) Monday to Friday strategies and tools for greater productivity 
 b) Saturday a recap of the main ideas and an evaluation form to help you get a clear picture of the progress you have made over the last 7 days
 c) Sunday an inspirational story that is not giving you extra-work, but it’s lifting your mood and keeps you connected to the journey.  
 Very Important! My best advice to you is to sync as soon as possible with the rhythm of the book. For instance, read and implement Day 1 on a Monday, Day 6 on a Saturday, Day 7 on a Sunday and so on. Read one lesson every day and do the recommended work so you build your SuperHero Structure, while being highly motivated and disciplined. Let’s begin!

    The dark side of our personality—the “other,” the shadow side—is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses—our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliott, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliott asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence.Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side’s “guilty pleasures,” love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliott shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.
