The gavel hit the block and his mind went silent. Mark´s soul folded up small: once, twice, and once more. Until his senses were withdrawn from the reality and the numbness in his head made a dream-time of the external world. His mother´s cries echoing in the courtroom. But it couldn’t be real, could it? A violent thrust and he fell into a cage. A heavy door closing behind. The sound of the starting engine. Bang! The gavel against the block now was no more than a resonance in his head. He lost the game. It was over. From mindless delinquent to mindful hypnotist, Mark Anthony´s story take us from the criminal world of Southeast London, through many trials and tribulations to a successful career as one of Australia’s most sought after Hypnotists. A roller-coaster of family violence, children’s home, expelled and suspended from schools, child abuse, drugs, crime and loss of freedom in the form of time behind bars; cancer, bankrupt, divorce and false accusations, brother of a murderer, and the power of a man´s mind driving his way out to a brighter life of love and success. Mark´s incredible story goes beyond anything told before: a real emerging phoenix. Fatherless, poor, beaten, abused, arrested, belted, threatened, on the verge of death…Mark´s childhood and adolescence elapsed like the worst of nightmares. The brother of a murderer, he lost four friends to heroin and was employed by an underworld figure. Treated like scum but trusting there was a way out, it was when the game seemed lost, behind bars, that Mark decided to change his life. It was an arduous path, rich in disappointments and great mistakes, albeit Mark´s life tells us that nothing is fatal and never everything is lost. An inspirational but raw story showing us that, no matter where we are at, there is always a way up if we put our mind to it, “It’s all about the choices we make”.

Gut Instinct: Diets Missing Link teaches the skill of healthy eating and achieving healthy weight without dieting. It speaks to the quiet majority of people who are sick of the cult diets and tired of the standard dogma. The present epidemic of obesity and the current controversy over which popular diet is best, Atkins, South Beach, The Zone, Dr. Phil, and endless others is the result of an oversight at the foundations of nutrition. Gut Instinct reveals what everybody overlooked in their mad dash to the top of the diet heap. It explains why carbohydrates are so controversial, how to use them effectively, and why the popular cult diets do more obscure the problem of obesity than to solve it.
