Quicksilver, the Book
  A Revolutionary Way to Lead the Many and the Few — Beginning with YOU     
Quicksilver Practices

Thanks to human nature, our way of thinking is largely handed down to us, a product of history and personal circumstance. Especially in today's world, intelligence, education, and experience alone are not enough to alter this condition.


By embracing Quicksilver practices, however, we can free ourselves from "programmed" thought and enjoy our birthright, the almost incomprehensible power of the human mind. We can learn to choose thought, and by doing so create the life we want.


Quicksilver practices are rooted in the twenty-five years of executive coaching of Dr. Michael O'Brien, CEO of the O'Brien Group. Most of the O'Brien Group's business is repeat business for a simple reason. O'Brien teachings work!
