Quote

Let your mind be still, for the wisdom you seek is like that butterfly over yonder.

If you try and catch it with your intellect, it will simply fly away.

On the other hand, if you can still your mind, some day when you least expect it,

it will land on the palm of your hand.

Praise For Exquisite Mind

While Terrys description of how the inside-out understanding has trans- formed her life is a remarkable story, this is ultimately a book about you. If you let them, the Principles shared in this book will awaken something inside of youa kernel of hope and possibility that not only can today be better than yesterday, it was designed to be. May your life be touched and transformed as you read this beautiful book, and may you in turn touch and transform the lives of everyone you meet.

Michael Neill,

bestselling Author of The Inside-Out Revolution and The Space Within

Terrys book is the first one of its kind bringing the understanding of innate health and resilience into the world of psychiatry. To give hope and hold hope for people with mental disorders, healthcare professionals will need to fully embrace the concept of personal recovery. The inside-out paradigm of understanding mental distress depicted in these pages leads to a deeper understanding of how our mind works and how true mental healing happens from within us. The authors perspective as a person with lived experience makes it a must read for anyone experiencing any kind of mental distress and loss of hope. This is an immensely enlightening book for families, friends and professionals supporting someone with a mental disorder.

Dr Rani Bora,

Rehabilitation and Recovery Psychiatrist

Terry Rubenstein has managed to combine her deep understanding of the human condition with her natural ability to teach. This is a deeply heartfelt, honest and touching exploration of the spiritual nature of life and what it means to be human. If you want to gain a transformational understanding of how the mind works and live your life with more freedom, love, joy and connection, read this book.

Chantal Burns,

bestselling Author of Instant Motivation: The surprising truth behind what really drives top performance.

In Exquisite Mind, Terry shows us how to get in touch with who we really are so that we can get on with the best possible version of our life. From darkness to extreme clarity, this book will show you how to deal with your own inner voices on a daily basis and how to live a more meaningful, truthful and fulfilled life. This book is a life-changer.

Sammy Margo,

Author of The Good Sleep Guide and Good Sleep Guide for Kids

In a world where alleviating mental suffering often remains a mystery, even for the professionals in the field, the Three Principles represent a fascinating new paradigm in psychological thinking. And crucially, it has already demonstrated the ability to catalyse recovery and transform lives. An exquisite book by an inspirational woman.

Dr Harley Simon,

Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, multinational pharmaceutical company

It would seem contradictory for an individuals deeply personal story to be wholly impersonal at the same time. Yet Terrys uplifting accounttold with humility, honesty and humourachieves exactly that. This profoundly human story is bigger than being about one persons experiences; it is a narrative that informs all human experience, shedding light and offering a radically new perspective on how our minds work. For anyone serious about having a more peaceful, more effortless, more graceful experience of life, this book will help you to see why that is possible and how it can occur.

Jack Fallow, Associate Professor,

University of Brunel Business School; Founder, Centre for Organisation Effectiveness

This inspiring and beautifully written book outlines a fascinating approach to dealing with lifes challenges. It describes positive ways to organise and interpret ones thoughts in practical and spiritual ways. In so doing, its approach can help make ones life more complete.

Dr Arthur Rubenstein,

Professor of Medicine and former Dean and Executive Vice President of the University of Pennsylvania; former President of the Association of Professors of Medicine and the Association of American Physicians.

Terry Rubensteins personal story in and of itself is achingly honest, deeply hopeful, truly inspiring, and will move your heart. But Terrys gift to humanity is that she has highlighted the universal nature of her story and its application to each and every one of us. Terry will quietly invite you to realise the presence and gift of your own magnificent spiritual nature.

Dr Dicken Bettinger,

Founder, Three Principles Mentoring

One can see the true measure of a person when they face adversity. In this true story of vulnerability, resilience and triumph, Terry Rubenstein demonstrates an inner strength that teaches us that even in the darkest moments of despair, we can still choose our mind-set and whether we show up with dignity and humility. Aside from the courage of sharing her experience, which will be an inspiration to others, Terrys book provides a great and easily relatable introduction into the Principleseven to a novice like me.

Avron Epstein,

formerly Head of Investec Private Bank, UK

This book is an awesome, fundamentally accurate, heartfelt description of the Three Principles paradigm clothed in the brutally honest story of Terrys life. There is no misunderstanding in this book. There is no misleading in this book. This book is truth.

Tzvi Wurther,

President, Twerski Wellness Institute

Anyone who has ever felt broken should read this book. Terry is a remarkable individual who has impacted so many lives around her, and I hope this book reaches many more. Above all her story demonstrates the exceptional power we all have to change our own lives even when it seems there is no hope at all.

Esther Marlow,

Director, Carmel Clothing

Terrys account is so compelling because her story has at its heart, spirit and truth; the formless nature of truth and love are discovered here everywhere! Yet, Terry points as well to practical, spiritual principles that help each of us discover truth in our own lives, in our own hearts, in every moment of every day. A brilliant and courageous woman with a brilliant and courageous tale that should be read by all who care about life and living it fearlessly, no matter their current circumstances.
