Anna Solding signs her best-selling book Hum of ConcreteSwedish-born Adelaide author Anna Solding, whose debut novel has received rave reviews, will sign copies of her best-selling book, The Hum of Concrete, in Norwood this weekend.

Gordon WagnerClients don’t view Gordon Wagner as a typical psychologist.

Rather than just a source of professional advice, they see Gordon as a guide for whom authenticity is the essential ingredient to being happy.

As a registered psychologist, Adelaide-based Gordon has worked with more than 1000 clients, many of whom have experienced powerful life-changing results after working with him.

Gordon began studying psychology midway through his career after facing and working through many of his own challenges as a young man.

For years, Gordon pursued a path of awareness, studying everything from mindfulness principles and meditation to eastern spirituality including Sufism and Taoism, as a way to become free of the constraints of his own conditioning.

Gordon’s personal journey helps him immensely as a psychologist:  By facing his own challenges. Gordon has developed a rapport with his clients that only life experience can endow.

Gordon’s clients will often comment on how comfortable they feel around him and are surprised at his level of understanding of what they are going through.  "Too many people are unhappy, bored or unfulfilled as often, their deepest needs are just not being met,” explains Gordon.
