    I did this course from Jan-June this year....a great experience, really was. You're going to love this...hope you like reading as you'll be gettin some homework...the books Geoff picks are always great and add to the course.

    If you look at the Masterclass DVD box set, that's me hitting the focus pad with Geoff...think Steve Reynolds did something to the picture though as my head looks distorted...some folds of extra flesh here and there.... lol!

    I'd love to come over and stick my head in the door for some tea and biscuits and a chat with you guys...and of course, I'd have to have something to eat in my favourite spot in Coventry...The Mountpleasant Inn...really nice food!

    when you say books to read and home work, is it like read a book a month and do a kind of essay on what youve read?

    only reason i'm asking is that my reading and writing is not the best.

    Geoff may change things around for each masterclass series but on the one I attended it was read a book a month and then it would discussed at the following session...any thoughts you have on the book etc. No writing to be done but there may be a lot of punches!

    Hi davey

    Basically the homework mate is something which will expand your way of thinking. No essays, but the type of books to read which we were given were

    the gift of fear,
    the fountainhead
    mans search for meaning
    biography of a yogi

    the list can go on and depends what Geoff suggests for the course. after each class you will be told a book to read. purely to expand your way of thinking, and each book that has been suggested, has expanded my knowledge and ideology in different ways.

    You may get asked questions on the books, but nothing as in a test, but just your own personal thoughts on how you interpret the literature.

    You will love it mate,

    Davey i think the less you knowabout the course before hand the better for you. Thats what it is all about stepping out of your comfert zone and expanding. try not to ask about it anymore and live with the feeling of anticipatuin you have because that is pure gold dust right there. The answers are inside you not in the physical world.

    Hi Davey, All

    The books Geoff references are considered homework and are a pre-requosite to passing the course, but no report writing is required.

    You won't be tested or anything like that but the whole premise is that you are on the course to change things and grow as a person. The books are part of that process so you are only losing out yourself if you don't read them.

    Some of the books are challenging, most are inspirational and very educational. You'll also get lots of Geoff's own material to read and watch.

    Just go into the course with an open mind, and you'll be very surprised at what a fantastic time you'll have.

    Best case, you'll get even more instructional time with me - how cool is that Surprised

    Al cheers
