About the book
If in the previous book - «Hell Week» - the author answered the questions «What to do?and How to do to achieve success, this book focuses on how to enjoy the journey while reaching the goal. Together, they provide the most comprehensive insight into the Bertrand Method, which he has spent nearly a decade developing, and set off a chain reaction. After all, in order to implement positive changes, in order to act in accordance with the plan, despite numerous difficulties, in order to change external circumstances for the better, you need to change from the inside, to find inner strength that will give you a sense of harmony, peace and happiness.
Larssen is convinced that the power of the spirit can be trained in the same way as the body, and gives appropriate guidance. Ultimately, this power will help you to get rid of stress and total preoccupation, to achieve the "presence effect" in your life, to be "here and now", not in the past or future, that is, to live in reality. &Now! is a kind of meditation book that in many ways resonates with Buddhist philosophy. In it, Larssen shows a way out of the "wheel of samsara", in which we spin like squirrels, and invites us to an exciting journey through real life.

My experience as a personal development coach shows that you can change yourself. To do this, you need to become more conscious. If you think about how you think, you will find that you are able to make informed decisions that will open up a new path for you. Along the way, you will experience what is happening in the here and now more fully and deeply."
Inner Strength
How do you exist in the here and now, live in the moment? I think the secret is to develop inner strength. You have to be strong. You have to acquire inner peace. To have inner strength means to be confident in yourself, to have a foundation that remains unshakable despite the storms raging around you. It keeps
you calm and in control of your life."
Become the best version of yourself
Changing is not easy, but it is possible. To do this, you need to establish your own development and take responsibility for it, instead of just hoping that one day something good will happen. You need to believe that you can actually change, evolve and become a better version of yourself. You need to
realise that some of your established thought patterns need to be corrected, and maybe even eliminated altogether.
There is always a choice
Other people can influence you, but only you decide what you think. The better you are aware of this, the more you can make decisions that develop your inner strength, which, once again, is a great foundation for an incredible life journey. Understanding that you have a choice increases your inner strength in itself. It makes
you feel better about the journey; the steps towards your dreams and goals become stronger, and a smile appears on your face more often.
Never give up!
I will never forget one morning in Drummond a few years ago when ex-footballer Dagfinn Enerley spoke after me. In 2005, he had a collision with a teammate and suffered a broken neck. However, Dagfinn did not break morally and showed himself to be a man of great inner strength. He went through incredible hardships and now moves around in a wheelchair, but he is a clear proof that there is still a choice. Dagfinn Enerli decided to turn his circumstances to his advantage as much as possible. He also appears to have the support of his wife, family, team and many others. This means that, in addition to Dagfinn himself, many people have made a good choice in this difficult situation.
