    About this ebook

    From the Bible to The Secret. From Emerson to Eckhart Tolle. From churches to 12-Step to psychiatric couches. Offers of relief from a mind at war abound in every language and in every medium. From Seagram's to CNN, Playboy to plastic surgery, the 4AM infomercial to anywhere-but-here.
    Are you tired of racing from one magic bullet to the next? Are you worn out from fear? Have religious devotion and medical diagnoses failed to find a cure for you? Are you ready to give up on any possibility of living a "normal" life, much less a happy, creative and prosperous life?
    21 Games for the Mind That Won't Shut the $%&* Up! offers Zen-simple and remarkably effective tools for refreshing your tired and over-worked mind. In this book, you will find the relief you seek from worry, sorrow and self-abandon. These quick and easy games offer you an effective way to re-friend your mind, and yourself, through play.

      21 Games for the Mind That Won’t Shut the $%&* Up! - A.T. Lynne

      What readers are saying about 21 Games…

      Finally, non-digital games that soothe instead of stress my brain! A.T. Lynne is the master in positive use of that forgotten, magical gift called Imagination. I can’t think of a better use of my free time during the next three weeks.

      —Denis Waitley, Author,

      The Psychology of Winning

      A.T. has written a practical user’s guide for the caretaking of the modern mind. She has completely won over this squeamish self-help book reader. Written with brevity and clarity such that you envision results before playing each memorable game. Even just a dabbling will give your mind a rest.

      —Wendy Tremont King

      Studiotozzi – Actor/Narrator

      With Wisdom distilled in this little volume, A.T. Lynne has profoundly reminded us of the formative power of play. With her 21 Games… she has convincingly also shown us how our thoughts shape and misshape our mind, and affect both our sense of self and well being. Her games greatly help in the ongoing process of becoming conscious, which ultimately makes individuation achievable. Bravo!—David B. Leof, M.D.

      Distinguished Life Fellow,

      American Psychiatric Association

      Senior Jungian Training Analyst,

      Brilliant book! I thoroughly enjoyed it and love your processes.

      —Rintu Basu

      Author, Persuasion Skills Black Book

      Glasgow, Scotland

      I read A.T. Lynne’s book cover to cover, then went back and worked with each game! Now, I’m integrating 21 Games… into my daily practice. I like the way it gets my thinking focused and clears the way for progress and growth.

      —Mike Clinco

      Composer, Jazz Guitarist, Dog Owner

      There are lots of ways to calm the anxious, frustrated mind: give up coffee, take up yoga, dope up on prescriptions or buy up the entire self-help section of the bookstore. If you’ve tried it all and your mind still won’t shut the @#&* up, keep trying. 21 Games… is a Swiss army knife in the creative person’s toolkit for well-being.—Nancy Shaw, Filmmaker

      This book and these games are simple, entertaining and thought changing. Spiritual law says that if you can change your thinking, you can change your life. This book has the tools to easily and playfully change your life. Don’t believe me, try it for yourself!—Nancy Radford, RScP

      I shared A.T.’s games with my family and they have lead to fun and interesting discussions about how to cope with difficult situations and people. I look forward to giving them all copies of A.T.’s book so they can find the same benefits that I found.

      —Morgan Fenner

      Berkeley High Rowing Coach

      A.T. Lynne’s insights into human perception are so positive and illuminating! —Andre Schjaerve

      Artist and Screenwriter

      Truly, the moment I began reading 21 Games…, I felt at peace. It was not about shutting the mind up. It was about breathing life, honoring life’s gifts, feeling joyous and at peace. A.T. has channeled a connection with her gift for playfulness to create instant peace and happiness in others.

      —Jeni Pfeiffer

      Realtor, EcoBroker

      Specializing in Green Building

      My sister took a writing class from A.T. Lynne and sent me her book for my birthday in April. It has given me many tips for controlling my ADD mind, which I appreciate greatly. Thanks for the peace.

      —Allison Green

      Evansville, IN

      A. T. Lynne’s 21 Games for the Mind that Won’t Shut the @#&* Up! smashes down the barricaded door to the panic room in your brain, kicks ass and takes names. Buy it!

      Rob Swigart, Author,

      Little America, The Time Trip,

      The White Pig and other novels

      I bought the book – looked slender. Got heavier as I carried it… hmmm, got some heavy ideas. Burned through it in one night — walked on air all week. Enjoying its games.—Delilah, Author,

      Excuse Me, Am I Bothering You

      Multi-media Artist

      Sixty-plus years of dabbling in activity after activity, reinventing myself countless times, listening to the incessant voice of If only I have this in my life all will be OK all in the quest of filling the emptiness that was still there when the newness of the objects wore off. What a joy to discover that by redirecting my thoughts and perceptions of the world around me, by playing A.T.’s 21 Games…, a new guide to true happiness and tranquility is, at last, mine!—Gordon Christensen

      MCO, Retired

      NRA Life Member

      When feeling uninspired, I use 21 Games… to boost my creativity. This book is a combination self help manual, puzzle book, and mind expanding guide. Most of all, it’s just plain fun. Read it and feel better!
