THE WORLD IS CHANGING
We are no longer at the bottom of the food chain.

The tigers and the lions and the Man-enemies of antiquity are safely caged and emasculated in public zoos and national parks.

But new enemies have emerged and they are insidious masters of stealth: the illnesses, viruses and diseases that largely exist in contemporary society because of man’s penchant for excessive consumption and his lack of physical activity. With the need for hunting and gathering and living off our wits rapidly declining, the under-used physical body is becoming less of a sinewy working tool and more of a cumbersome liability. We have lost not only our desire for the warrior mentality; we have lost our reason for it. Infirmity is kicking sand in all our faces, and this has to change if we are to survive as a species.

In his powerful new book, Geoff Thompson, martial arts legend, says that people have forgotten why it is important to be courageous.

Warrior is a simple, step-by-step guide to re-booting our purpose and reclaiming our warriorship.

'If you feel imprisoned in a job, a relationship or, even worse, you feel trapped in your life, then LIVE YOUR DREAMS 10 Secrets to Loving Your Life (new paperback version of Great Escape) is the book you need to kick start your new year and your new life.

With examples from his own life and other case studies, Geoff Thompson unveils ten secrets to help you escape any negative situation and guide you through the art of positive enforcement, drawing on an array of scientific and cultural techniques to help you get where you would love to be.

- Recognise and master your fears and overcome negative feelings.
- Use the power of intention to navigate around life's obstacles and archive your goals.
- Get inspired for the new year like never before by honing in on the amazing power of purpose.
- Master the magic of thought.
- Access the infinite energy in inspiration
- And take advantage of the age old art of Tithing

In the stage play, Doorman, Tony has to break free from a cycle of violence that is changing him into a man he no longer recognises and does not want to be. But has he left it too late?

Doorman is Geoff Thompson's first stage play.

Everything that Happens to Me is Good is a distillationof thoughts, experiences and hard-won philosophy on living and dying, change, challenge, motivation and a whole lot more; a collection of insightful, moving and often provocative musings that will change the way you view your world.

What makes this book refreshingly unique is that Geoff is a living embodiment of everything he writes.

He discusses depression because he has successfully overcome it, he writes about fear because he has made a career out of confronting and overcoming his own demons, similarly he writes about thinking impossible things because he is in the habit of making the seemingly impossible happen in his life.

A must read for anyone who wants to negotiate the fast lane of life with an accurate road map.

Change your life on a train journey or re-ignite your purpose from the comfort of your own bed.

In this second volume of thought-provoking short articles we find further enlightenment in Geoff Thompson's no-nonsense, pragmatic philosophy with insights that come from hard living
and brutal self-honesty.

In his anti-intuitive and yet highly functional life lessons Geoff encourages us to follow our own maps, escape our 'Yezidi circles' and (at all costs) avoid being on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

A must read for anyone who wants to negotiate the fast lane of life with an accurate road map.

Have you ever heard the story of The Elephant and The Twig? In India they train obedience in young elephants (to stop them from escaping) by tying them to a huge immovable object, like a tree, when they are still very young. The tree is so large that no matter how hard the baby elephant pulls and tugs it cannot break free. This develops what is known as ‘learned helplessness’ in the creature. After trying so hard and for so long to break the hold, only to be thwarted time and again, it eventually believes that, no matter what it does, it cannot escape. Ultimately, as a fully-grown adult weighing several tons, they can tie it to a twig and it won’t escape, in fact it won’t even try.

Do you ever feel like this? That you are tied to an immovable object and can’t break free? That you couldn’t possibly give that presentation at work, that you would never be able to go it alone in business, or that you have to remain stuck in a social and lifestyle rut as there is no other alternative? Rubbish! This book shows you that, when it comes down to it, what ties you and prevents you from realising your potential is only a ‘twig’. Geoff Thompson, renowned martial artist and author of Watch My Back, guides you through the process of breaking the negative thinking that binds us all and helps you to take the plunge and properly take on life.

First released in 1992 as a 180 page paperback Watch My Back has gone on to find a global audience (100,000 copies sold) and a cult following. As well making the Sunday Times Best Sellers List in both paper back and hard back, the book (and the stories there in) has made its way into hundreds of articles, a stage play (Doorman), a BAFTA nominated short film (Bouncer) starring Ray Winstone and Paddy Consadine, and a muti-award winning half hour film (Romans 12;20) and now a £2 million theatrical feature film, (Clubbed, released to cinemas January 2009). We re delighted to announce sixteen years after it's first publication, a brand new, updated version of Watch My Back, with a new epilogue and lots of exciting new photographs taken from Clubbed and from the BAFTA's is available
