Seven Lessons to Heal Your Voice & Spirit

Dr. Hillman is interviewed by Jan Roelofs, professional speaker and presentation coach, in a sound studio. Two hours of questions and answers were edited down to one hour.

Tim Dougherty, jazz pianist, listened to the tape and put down a jazz piano track. The results were outstanding. Truly an inspirational interview.

"Few instructional or inspirational tapes hold my attention and compel me to listen to it again. This one continues to do that." The content from the tape was transcribed and put in book form. This material allows one to personalize the content and journal their reactions to it.
