Not feeling good enough?
Want to feel different about your life and learn how to feel ok?
Imposter Syndrome, excessive worrying, anxiety, people pleasing and putting the needs of others above your own is common in millions of people. If personal development and self-help books didn't work for you then you will want to read A Caged Mind. This book may evoke insights within you that have the potential to change your life. It is NOT a "how to fix yourself " or a "how to change your life in 7 days" book. It is a book of hope.
Maria Iliffe-Wood, a woman in her fifties, wanted to feel better. In her life there was an undercurrent of unease, anxiety and never feeling good enough. She spent years and thousands of pounds looking for a way to fix herself. Nothing brought her the relief she was looking for. Then a spiritual understanding changed everything. These short snapshots in time, over time, show how insights changed her life at a deep level. They show that you don’t need books on how to be happy, you need a simple understanding of how life works, to live an easier, better life.
A Caged Mind is a new kind of self-help book, where the writer takes you through their own personal experiences to show you the healing journey. Insights changed Maria’s life. Reading this book may evoke insights within you that have the potential to change yours.
REVIEWS:I was captivated as I read A Caged Mind. The writing is true and honest, as Iliffe-Wood takes us on a journey with her through myriad twists and turns of her life and what she saw and learned as she went. This is a must-read for anyone who is a human. The last self-help book you will ever need to read.

A Caged Mind speaks straight to the heart and soul. I was mesmerized from the first line to the last. Her story is the human story, our story, and can awaken in all of us hope, freedom from suffering, and astonished awareness of a daring, creative, full way to live. I will recommend this book to all of my clients at home and abroad.

Maria's journey to freedom from the cage of her thinking is brutally and beautifully intimate....heartbreakingly real and inspiring!

A Caged Mind is a beautifully crafted compilation of stories and insights that are deeply personal, but also universally human. You will recognize yourself -- and all of life --throughout this book. I can't recommend it enough!

Maria’s story resonates because it could be any of us with a head full of insecurities, trapped within our own cage. Who hasn’t experienced the torment of feeling unloved? I love Maria’s analogy of the caged mind and how we innocently imprison ourselves within that cage. In this wonderful book Maria shines a light on where the cage ends and infinite potential abounds.

A Caged Mind is a beautifully touching, inspiring book. Maria talks about her own journey in a way that gently encourages us to reflect on our own experience of life from a deeper understanding of the mind and inspires us to examine more deeply the truth of who we really are. For those of us willing to look in this direction, this book is timely and truly transformational.
