8 Things This Book Will Teach You
Learn how to….
- Identify the five mental patterns (hamster wheels) secretly running your life — and discover which ones are driving your specific struggles.
- Step into “admin mode” — observe your reactive patterns without getting trapped in them, giving you choice instead of automatic responses.
- Trace current problems back to their childhood programming origins — and finally understand why certain triggers hit you so hard (spoiler: it’s not your fault).
- Heal and comfort your inner child — so old patterns naturally dissolve instead of requiring constant willpower to override them.
- Debug your reality in real-time — catch yourself spinning on mental hamster wheels before they derail your day, relationships, or goals.
- Transform pressure into performance — use the same techniques that helped elite athletes at Chelsea FC and Barcelona FC stay calm under extreme stress.
- Break free from repetitive self-sabotage cycles — whether it’s procrastination, relationship patterns, or career blocks that keep showing up.
- Access lasting inner peace without spiritual bypassing — practical tools that work in the real world, not just on meditation cushions.
Hi, I'm Rob.
After my own system crashed at seventeen, I spent the next twenty five years investigating why humans create their own suffering.
I’m a former strength and conditioning coach who spent five years at Chelsea FC and three at Barcelona, discovering that the same patterns driving elite athletes run in all of us. Fascinated by why the strongest, most successful people were often the most quietly tormented, I left elite sport to study the invisible programmes shaping our lives.
With a background in sports science, energy medicine, and 25 years of pattern recognition, I now help people see and step outside their conditioning. I live on a subtropical island with my wife Sylvia and our daughters, Lima and Bo. When I’m not with clients, I’m on the Jiu-Jitsu mat, walking in nature, or researching how humans really work.
"Hey Rob! This book is so good. I was skeptical when I started reading but it immediately made sense what you were saying and yesterday it helped me stay calm when facing an garage owner who was being pushy with a bill. I saw my hamster wheel surface and I watched it and it completely changed how I would normally act. The whole situation was transformed and I left feeling excited to play this game. Thank you so much for this book."
