Alvin Hall

“I’ve long held the belief that you learn as much about yourself from failing as you do from succeeding and sometimes you learn more...Failure gives you an opportunity to look inside, to gain wisdom and then move forward, but without being held hostage to that failure.”

Down Arrow

“[Alvin Hall is] not just a psychologist, but a magician too.” ― Evening Standard
