The Caveman Rules of Survival


We all have our individual struggles and Dawn's book provides a simple framework that enables understanding of what these struggles might be about, and also how to overcome them. Her style of writing is straightforward and concise so the book is fast moving and easy to read. I have been to see Dawn myself and she helped me considerably in just one session. She is just as accessible in real life as she seems in the written word. In summary, I would recommend Dawn's help whether you access it through buying a book or booking a session, or both.


Practical and helpful. I enjoy practical books that can be applied to life. This is one of those. It clearly explains how the mind works, and how to apply that knowledge. A well written and enjoyable book.


We all should be interested how our mind works and you will be hard pushed to find an easier read than this that teaches so much in concise manner. The structure of the book is straightforward, the three rules introduced and then walked through one by one with real experiences illustrating them. It is written in a flowing accessible style and not jam packed with psychological jargon. I can't see anyone reading this and not making a personal application of some sort. Will definitely re-read - recommended!

 

Diary of a Teenage Mind Reader


I bought the audio book to listen to with my teenager in the car. we became quickly invested in the characters and utterly related to them....Even relevant for a "non teenager", this book was a really good follow up to Dawns first book. A lightbulb moment for sure on how to rationalise the overprotective inner voice which isn't always good for us. Brilliant Dawn.


I bought this for my teenagers, but enjoyed it myself too! We also enjoyed the Audible download which meant we could listen in the car and it brought up some really interesting conversations. Highly recommended by everyone in our house aged from 12 - 44!


Life isn't easy for teenagers. Their bodies and brains are changing and at the same time they are trying to deal with changing relationships, exams and social media. As a parent you wonder what is going on in their heads and what you can do to support them. In Diary of a Teenage Mind Reader, Dawn Walton has given an insight into the conflict in teenagers' brains that is very helpful. A must for parents who are concerned about their kids
