It would have been impossible to write this book without the 43 years of contribution by thousands of people who have been part of my life since the day I was born.
A special thanks to my mum and my dad, without your support, care, nurture, protection and unconditional love I would not be here today and be the man I am. I love you with every beat of my heart. I would like to thank my sisters and their husbands, my brother and his wife, and all of their children for their support, love, and for all the joy that their presence brought into my life.

Foreword
Having known Tony personally, and worked with him as a client of his, I knew that his book would be something special.
I just didnt appreciate or realize just how powerfully Tony would capture the bodys internal workings, and introduce it in such a succinct and sophisticated manner as to leave the reader fully empowered to take the reins of their life, and start taking back control of the direction their life is taking them.
Tonys many years of deep personal study, his depth of spiritual perception, as well as his background as a technologist have meant hes been able to weave the science, spirituality and psychology of what makes us human into a manual that helps us unpackage and make sense of our inner ALARMs.
The subtle nuances and inner workings of our bodies, our minds, and our spirits have been laid out in careful detail, to leave no question unanswered, and to empower each of us to take full control and responsibility for the results weve created in our lives.
If like me, you have spent a lifetime of deep spiritual study, studied NLP, behavioral psychology, and have a deep yearning to understand yourself better, than you will find reading Tonys book a most enriching and rewarding experience.
If youre completely new to it all, dont worry, Tonys gentle approach and subtle style weaves the most complex topics, and the most cutting edge science into really easy to understand bite-sized chunks that anyone will be able to understand easily, be they a personal development novice, or a seasoned veteran of introspection and self-reflection.
Give yourself the best gift you could possibly wish for, and read this book cover to cover, to unlock your inner wisdom, and access the latent knowledge that already exists in your inner ALARM .
Having read and studied for many years the domains of personal development, spiritual development, as well as through personal journeys, Ive never come across a book that so powerfully synthesizes the wisdom contained within our body, mind and spirit.
