This is the book that provides the Rosetta Stone for all other personal development books.

The concepts of this book run so deep and wide that if you just read it off in 2-4 hours in one sitting, you will miss the whole point of the book. This book takes the self-help genre to a new level. Not only from my experience with this book and from meeting the author behind the book, but also from the experience of all of the people I know who have read it, I can say that essentially, to anyone with an open mind, this stuff is awesome. Klemmer's other book about intentions running smack into reality is even better.

The merit of this book lies not in fancy language nor impressive theories and facts. What makes this book different is the RESULTS it produces. Nothing speaks louder than RESULTS.

I read this book with my students and they are amazed at what they have learned! It has changed the atmosphere of my classroom. I am willing to risk with them and they know they can trust me.

I recommend this for people that are serious about getting what they want out of life or more of what they want out of life. I know I have gotten better communication, a sense of respect for myself and others and a lot more of what I want out of life.

Brian Klemmer is a master craftsman in this incredible colletion of short expositions relating to topics for Personal Mastery. The author's great insights present the reader with spell-binding synopses of reflections about human paradigms, relationships, and effective methods for changing one's viewpoint from where they've always viewed things in the past, based on their experiences. It's a must read for anyone looking to seriously embark on a personal growth journey. Beyond information, beyond motivation, this book fosters growth from the inside out, which makes it extremely unique and exclusive.

Anyone who is stuck in his (or her) life, not making the progress he would like, should incorporate these concepts. Brian gave me the tools that I needed. Not only have I made exponential progress, but my husband is so pleased with his "new" wife that he is going to the next level, too. ANYONE,(yes, I mean you!) can take this book and find what is holding him back and ZOOM ahead. Brian is a master teacher!

My teenage son was diagnosed recently with Type 1 Diabetes, it was very scary not knowing anything about Diabetes. This book is easy to understand and it explains everything about Type 1 diabetes. Wonderful help to me.

Great book for the Type 1 patient or the parent/spouse/family member of one.
Gives good suggestions on a variety of topics. Well worth the money.

This book has helped us so much.
The doctors don't help you too much so you are left with a million questions and this book has helped so much.
This disease is so overwelming and this book is so helpful in easy to understand words.
Instead of going into a panic when something happens we now just go to the book and it calms us right down.
Thank God this book is here.

I have found this book VERY helpful. From time to time we have questions/concerns that come up, we have found easy to understand answers/advise for real life issues.

I have only received this book recently, so I have not read the whole thing. The author doesn't recommend reading it from cover to cover, but to use it more as a reference. I started reading it at the beginning and am now on page 46. It is so interesting, and easy to read, that I see no reason NOT to read it straight through! Even though a lot of the information is technical, it is written in such a way so as to make it fairly easy to understand. My 13-year-old son has only had Type 1 diabetes for three months now and I am hungry for this kind of information. I want to understand this disease as much as possible, and so far, this book is great!

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I devoured it in a day. Beautifully written.

The simple title belies a great author and an even greater reading experiance.

The author writes so that you actually *feel* you are there and know the streets and towns and things he speaks of and what you couldn't possibly see with your minds eye--he makes you feel with your heart.

A"MUST-READ" for anyone who has ever had a death made worse, by things left unspoken.

Into That Good Night may well be the best book I've ever read. Having been raised in a small Texas town in the same era, it really hit home. Ron's story of life's experiences, of loves and losses, is a heart felt story that is enjoyable and easy to read. It is a wonderfully written story of growing up when racism was really becoming an issue in the south, of his beloved father's Alzheimers, and much, much more. I highly recommend this book.

THIS BOOK COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED ME. I LIVED IT ONCE, AND NOW I'VE LIVED IN AGAIN THROUGH RON'S EYES. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE OUR FATHER. HE TAUGHT US INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, HONESTY, AND LOVE WITH HIS QUIET WAYS AND GENTLY DEMEANOR. HE WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE TO ME. IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE WHAT HE HAD BECOME WHEN ALZHEIMERS TOOK OVER. HE HAD THE SAME SWEET DEMEANOR, BUT SOMETIMES DIDN'T RECOGNIZE US. IT WAS HARD, AND RON TOLD THE STORY BEAUTIFULLY. I CAN JUST SEE OUR DAD'S BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES TWINKLE IN PLEASURE. THANK YOU RON FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT. I LOVE YOU...DIANE

A memoir called Into That Good Night by Ron Rozelle,
is the story told from Ron's point of view when he was
growing up in Oakwood and even in his present day
life. It talks about segregation in schools and in
some stores throughout the town where he grew up. This
book shows the change Ron goes through with his family
when his mother becomes sick with lung cancer. Ron
learns to appreciate his family much more as he got
older and started to realize he won't have parents
forever. He ultimately realizes this when his father
looses his battle with Alzheimer's disease. You also
see segregation come to an end in Oakwood as time
progresses. You see the town where everyone knew
everyone suddenly become very lonely and empty after
most of the population got old and passed away. There
weren't many people moving in to Oakwood because it
didn't have many job opportunities.
Ron wrote this book in a then and now format. Every
other chapter switches, describing his child hood and
what happened in the future. It is a little confusing
but you catch on right away. It's very interesting
this way because it keeps you wondering, "What
happened to Ron".
Ron's ability to describe things just painted a clear
picture of what everything was like for him back then
in my mind. He gets right to the point when he rights,
it's not hard to comprehend or anything. That is what
is likeable about his style of writing. He writes in a
very appealing manner. Into That Good Night's main
focus is about Ron's relationship with his dad.
Ron and his father were very close because Ron's
father is a very calm kind of guy. He doesn't show
much emotion where as his mother is described as moody
and not afraid to yell when something makes his mad.
This is why he had more of a connection with his
father because in many ways he was like his father.
Ron is not quick to show emotion either. Ron and his
father form a special bond.
Ron graduates high school and is drafted in to the
military. He gets shipped off to Germany for a year.
In the mean time, his mother's health is decreasing.
She is getting worse and the doctors say she doesn't
have much time left. She started chain smoking when
Ron was a kid and that led her to her deathbed.
Fortunately Ron got to say goodbye to his mom right
before he headed off to the airport to be shipped off.
He felt that finally, he and his mother were at peace
with each other.
Ron and his dad form a strong bond after Ron gets
back from the Army and gets his own apartment. His dad
comes to visit him and they spend quality time
together. A few years later Ron's father eventually
re-marries and lives with his new wife. When Ron's
father gets in his older years he starts forgetting
things. His loss of memory starts increasing and he's
even forgetting simple things like where he is. He is
diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
What is Ron going to do when one of the most
important people in his life is starting to forget who
his own son is. What is it like to die not remembering
what your life was like and what your legacy will be.
This story was very easy to relate to. It is a very
easy understanding and likeable memoir of Ron Rozelle.

This CD is wonderful for totally relaxing and aiding in erasing the everyday stress from your mind. Colette's voice is so enchanting and the sounds of the sea, sea birds and visualiztion that Colette guides you through is incredible. It is as if you are truly sitting on the sandy beach with the sun warming your skin. I can't wait to play the CD after receiving the Chakra crystals I have recently purchased and using them in tandem to heal and open all the Chakra's, to experience Chakra healing on a much deeper level.

Wonderful CD! Bliss! Feel refreshed after listening, great audio sound and effects! I looked everywhere to find this, after attending one of her seminars! She's Fantastic, Friendly, easy to understand & connected with her audience! Recommend to anyone who needs to relax, get intouch with their inner self, for healing, meditation, destresser, self-esteem, self awareness & self empowering! Love it!!!

I know one person said that it was cheezy. At first I thought the same way too but I listen to it every night and I cant say enough! What a beautiful voice this women has! I love the story she has us go along. I can imagine being on that beach all alone, feeling the breeze and warm air. I really like when the wind picks up on the yellow and when you go into the crystal mountain and sit on the throne with white light. I would love it if she made more of these. I would buy every single one!!

THis an awesome CD. What a journey! I listened to this every night. She has the most amazing soothing but uplifting voice. I can actually see the different colors of the charkrs that you journey though.
I bought this also for a dear freind of mine and its become one of her favorites. We both listen and love Kelly Howell CD's also.
The song at this end, on LOVE, you just float away. BUY this CD. Give yourself a real treat! Its also very calming and healing.

Colette has a beautiful, clear, and relaxing voice. The images she presents are clear and helpful. One of the best new age CD's I have purchased. WELL worth the money!

Our Mother recently passed away peacefully in the care of Hospice and my Brother. We had opted for Hospice in the final stages of her long and wonderful life. Last Rights gave us so much useful and comforting information during this time. We Highly recommend Last Rights!

This book is excellent for elderly persons and for those with serious illnesses. Kiernan's main point is that death in America is increasingly gradual rather than sudden, and is typically preceded by a long period of illness. Yet most doctors have almost no training at all in the care of terminal patients. The result is that patients frequently suffer unnecessarily. Be warned that some of the stories Kiernan tells of patients' last days in ICUs are nothing short of horrifying. I was stunned to find out that it is common practice for patients who are clearly already dead to have their clothes cut open and their hearts defibrillated and injected with adrenaline.

The American medical system is presently in a state of ever-diminishing returns. Costs keep rising, but health is not substantially improved; in fact, in many cases health is worsened by the aggressive medical interventions so common today. My husband and I spend a substantial chunk of our incomes on insurance for ourselves and our son. Are we getting our money's worth? I don't think so. Kiernan's book makes clear that a large part of the reason is that doctors are too cowardly to face a patient and admit that there isn't much more they can do. The fact is, though, that everyone dies sooner or later. I certainly hope that when my own time comes, I will die pain-free in peaceful surroundings, with music playing and someone there to hold my hand.

As a lawyer myself, I felt that Kiernan had too little to say on the contribution of lawyers to the problem of terminal illness and quality of care at the end of life. I think that one important change that needs to be made is a simple state or federal law that forbids suing a doctor for malpractice if he chooses not to implement certain treatments. I would propose that this list include: all forms of open-heart surgery, including cardiac bypass; heart defibrillation after cardiac arrest; CT and MRI scans; chemotherapy for persons who are over age 70 or who have other serious illnesses; and ICU treatment for persons over age 70 or who are terminally ill. Doctors would still be free to order these treatments if they felt that they were clinically necessary or desirable, but they would no longer have to live in fear of being sued if they don't take every step imaginable.

If you are considering surgery or other high-tech medical treatment, I would suggest pairing this book with The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System.

Everyone should read this book, especially those who like me, have had lifetime careers in the medical system.

This book was just what was needed to reassure our family that our decision for Hospice care was the right course for our elderly parent's end of life. It contained so many good suggestions that we were able to act upon. It helped us all cope with our loss, both before and after the actual death.

I recommend this book HIGHLY if you are facing a similar situation. The constant focus is on Quality of life and comfort during one's last days, just what my father wanted! Very reassuring!

This is a "Must Read" for everyone! As an R.N with 32 years experience (12 yrs critical care & 7 yrs In-Patient Hospice) it is my privilege to endorse this book. Mr. Kiernan has clearly and accurately documented what is a reality that will ultimately affect every single one of us. In both scope and depth Mr. Kiernan has spoken the truth. He has not embellished, exaggerated or dramatized any detail of his book. Every human being deserves to die in peace (spiritual and emotional) and free from pain. This is a goal which is attainable but I can assure you that your chances of experiencing this are not good in any of today's modern acute care hospitals or nursing homes. (There are always exceptions). Hospice care is the only option and that is primarily because hospice is not a place but a philosophy of care. All physicians can manage the care of an acutely ill person but only a few physicians are qualified to manage your care if you are dying because the vast majority of physicians do not recognize or they refuse to accept that there is a difference. Please read this book. It could be one of the most important things you ever do both for yourself and for those whom you love.

Back in the late 1960's, a good friend gave me a copy of Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit. After absorbing the message that book delivered, I became a truehearted fan of Adelle Davis. She showed us so much research had been conducted confirming the need and uses of vitamins, minerals, and other nutritionals. Long before the 1990's it was known folic acid is needed during the first few weeks of gestation to prevent spina bifida. Pre-eclampsia is still treated with magnesium sulfate, but to avoid developing that condition, Adele Davis prescribed the supplements an expectant mother needs. How did she know about these? She perused so many documents and researched studies, much of which occurred in the early 20th century.
Some have said her writings are outdated and newer research refutes some of her findings, but the broad picture is she opened the public's eyes about nutrition's role. She told us there have been people curious enough to pursue Vitamin A's impact on skin health, cold fish oil and its role in cardiovascular disease, tryptophan, serotonin, lithium, and the B-complex benefitting the central nervous system and the brain.
Adelle Davis planted the seeds. Are we wise enough to pick the fruit?
Ibid.

My originals were so worn from use, highlighting, and notes, I had to buy new ones. I started with these on my quest for nutritional knowledge around 1970. I've read many nutrition books since and I still recommend these first, and almost exclusively, to anyone who wants answers about their poor, mistreated bodies and why they misbehave so, and what, if anything might be done to help or fix the problems. She's always come through. I wish she were alive today.
I suggest keeping a copy of "Let's Get Well" and "Let's Eat Right To Keep Fit" as staples in the bookcase in every home. Read them and devour them and apply them. They're incredible. Also, with "Let's Cook it Right" I experienced the most delicious roast I had ever cooked, just knowing the science behind the meat and the heat.Literally cut with a fork, so tender! The woman's knowledge never failed to amaze me.

my mother used this book for us kids when i was growing up, my father's mother used this book throughout her life. the information in this book gave my great grandfather 20 more years after a heart attack from clogged arteries almost killed him & he was facing major surgery & a lifetime on medications. in her time adele was one of the first of a 'new' generation of thinkers to suggest vitamin doses & truly proper nutrition as a way to prevent & cure disease & common ailments. the basics of nutrition never change, but some of the information adele gives in this book has since been changed, updated or even outdated in some cases & revised in some way. many have tried to discount what she was teaching & tried to discredit her. she had some trouble years ago when a child died after the parents misread & misunderstood the suggestions & doses of vitamins she gave to help cure a certain problem. these days this is not a book for the beginner or novice in nutrition & vitamins as medicine, but is for those who already have a decent background in it. this is a good reference book, but you really need to have others on hand that have the more current knowledge & understanding of drug-vitamin-herb interactions, age related doseage restrictions & warnings, counterindications, etc. (jean carper's books on food as medicine are highly recommended by this layperson.) this book should be ONE of several in a reference collection for nutrition, food & vitamins as medicine, & healthy cooking, using each books' information together.

I discovered this WONDERFUL book about 25 years ago. I was tired of going to the doctors and getting more pills. To list my ailments would take too long.

I decided to be responsible for my own health, and picked up this book in hopes of finding an answer. I did! Adele Davis was on the cutting edge of nutrition and it keeps her books fresh as any others printed today.

There are many books that offer help in wellness, but Adele Davis' books are a standard that they can't touch.

I found this in a used bookstore in 1989. I'd never thought much about nutrition before then; I ate what I liked, and my young metabolism burned it off fast. After reading this well-written and engrossing work, however, I realized how closely linked behavior and happiness are to what I ingest, and started eating more whole wheat bread and less sugar and processed foods. A few months later I saw a film of the inside of a factory farm, and then a hamburger at my local greasy spoon told me in mid-bite that I was ingesting the pain and fear and artificial chemicals of the many concentration camp cows that went into my burger. I went vegetarian halfway through that burger, and have remained so for 18 years. A few years later I cut out the chemicals almost completely by choosing organic food. Once you get used to tasting real food devoid of artificial crap, it's almost impossible to go back.
I am in perfect health and have not been to a doctor since 1989. I ran a marathon a few years back with no training, and finished in a little over four hours. I climb mountains while living on nuts and dried fruit (so much for vegetarians not having any energy, and for needing animal protein). Mainly I've learned that unless I'm active and eating real food, I'm not really happy. But it takes effort to avoid the fake food that is everywhere in our plastic world full of Mickey D and Taco Smell. The poison they put in our food is a crime, and in my opinion is directly linked to the massive surges in cancer and other diseases in the last 60 years, and the dumbing down that lets the warlords screw and kill us, year in and year out.
Davis was among the very first to point out that the post-war factory food trends were not healthy, and denatured the food that we need to be wise. But, if you trace agri-business carefully, and research companies like Monsanto (google Linda Fisher Monsanto and watch the revolving door in action), you will see that keeping people stupid and docile and easily led is precisely the goal of our largest food conglomerates, who are owned by the same folks who run our many wars, and who get government welfare by the trillions.
Davis saw this coming, and showed us how to fight it in our own lives. She was right. I and millions of others are living proof that simply by eating better and exercising frequently you can elminate the need to deal with doctors, and their constant pill-pushing.
Happiness is everyone's birthright, but we need to claim it for ourselves. The easiest way to start is to get healthy, and this book is a perfect beginner's overview of how we truly are what we eat.

As an educator I found this personally helpful and bough a copy for our food service manager. It also gave us more information for parents who have complained about our ban on ALL junk foods including those with high sugar content.

I read Dr. Kathleen DesMaison's "Your Last Diet" and followed her program for about 9 months. It changed my life! I lost 30 pounds and I feel so much better, physically and emotionally. I have more energy, self-confidence, inner peace and zest for life. I was well on my way to healing my sugar addiction and was ready to help my children.

Then, I read "Little Sugar Addicts" to help my children. "Little Sugar Addicts" helped me guide my family through the process of healing their sugar addiction. It had everything we needed: easy to follow step-by-step instructions, recipes, ideas for the holidays and inspiring stories from other parents. The transformation of my children was amazing. What's more, Kathleen's program is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix or a bunch of other things to buy. It is economical, simple and it works. Our family has been healed by this book and I highly recommend it.

My experience is much like the previous reviewer's, only I was a bit older when I found Dr. DesMaison's
work, and started following her food program. Her books explained my whole life....depression, mood
swings, meltdowns, temper tantrums, low self-esteem etc. "Doing the food" changed all of this. I've just
finished reading "Little Sugar Addicts", and I think how wonderful that families today have this
available to them, and what a difference it would have made in my family's lives. What is so different
about this is it is not the parent/s *telling* the children what to do, but inviting the whole family to
participate in what and how changes will be made. Lots of quotes from real people that are doing this plan.
It works. I recommend this book to all parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles, friends with children.
What a difference it will make.

Kathleen DesMaisons first book, Potatoes Not Prozac, changed my life. I went from a completely depressed person well on my way to taking anti-depressants, to a happy, confident person who loves life--all because I changed the way I ate! Since healing my own body and mind I have changed my children's diets with miraculous results.

Before Kathleen's program my kids would whine, scream, hit, be totally out of control, throw tantrums and in general, I didn't like them very much a lot of the time. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong?!? How could I feel this way about my kids and what could I do about it? No amount of parenting advice or classes could change what was going on with them. Well, after getting myself steady on Kathleen's program I started to look at my kids diet. It took a little time and adjustment, but now by feeding them differently and at consistant times they are mostly fun, loving, compassionate, focused, easy to talk to and the joys I always knew they were. Food was the answer, pure and simple!

Get this book if you've ever had those feelings of helplessness with your kids. It will change your life and your families life!

The program that Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons designed for children in her book Little Sugar Addicts is wonderful. The book describes the program is simple, plain language. Dr. DesMaisons has dedicated her life to helping people heal and her compassion, warmth and sensitivity comes out in her latest book, Little Sugar Addicts. I read this book and started doing the program with my kids and I have seem miraculous changes in them. It has been such a blessing. This book is very easy to read and the program is very easy to do. I highly recomend it to all parents.

In "Mommy I'm Still in Here," Kate McCloughlin tells the unforgettable story of her family's experiences with bipolar disorder. As two of her children suffer from this condition, Kate shares a lifetime of observances and experiences, including the effect of the disease on her entire family and between siblings. The book is a wealth of knowledge for those suffering from or dealing with the effects bipolar disorder. But more than that, Kate's great strength and love for her children leave one feeling optimistic and hopeful. Kate is an inspiration to all--a symbol of hope and strength, a role model of motherly love and perseverance, and a concerned parent wishing to help others by sharing her experiences.

Kate McLaughlin inspires and teaches in this incredible journey through her experiences with bipolar disorder in her children. She opens her heart and deepest thoughts to the reader to allow us to join her in the emotions and roller coaster ride she lives through. This book was a quick read and will teach you about this condition but more about how a family survives together and that there is beauty and love to be found in every experience. Her writing is beautiful, riveting, real and impactful. I especially appreciate her acknowledgements that not everyone is blessed to have the resources to deal with the ongoing trials. She is a beautiful woman, mother and author and we can only hope that she will write another book to continue the chronicles so we can all benefit from her wisdom and attitude. She shows us how to live with challenges honestly, openly, and gracefully. Thank you!

"Mommy I'm Still in Here" is a remarkable story of heart opening experiences. In viewing the issue of internal balance and how far from the midline it can swing, the reader views the beauty of each soul in this story and the strength and unconditional love required to endure. This story goes straight to the soul and provides the reader an opportunity to move into deeper levels of loving, acceptance, compassion and knowledge. A must read for anyone wishing to experience an important message regarding internal balance and the connection among us all.

This book is an incredible story of family devotion! It kept me totally, emotionally engaged. I felt such a great sense of compassion for the whole family. Kate helps you "believe in" and feel the pain and suffering they must have gone through. These parents were remarkable with their struggle in keeping it quiet to most of the outside world, and also trying to maintain a normal life for their other children who did not have the illness. I commend them for their outstanding ability to regain their lives with such an amazing outlook after such a valiant fight. Kate is able to give you a profound explanation of the illness, while still keeping you immersed in her story! What an extraordinary read!!

An incredibly personal and yet educational story. The author shares her journey of confusion, pain ,learning and love that is inspirational to all of us. Although I started with no information about bipolar disorder..I ended with a sense of deep compassion around the complexities of every day living with mental illness. While the subject is serious the book ends with a spirit of renewal and hope leaving the reader wanting to meet this amazing woman.

After 35 years, finally something that starts to put together some of the pieces. Dean has hit the nail on the head for me, although only about 30% of the book really relates to my experiences. I still need some answers, but now have a better idea of how to find them.

This is a great book to enable soldiers to come to terms with the effects of PTSD. It is the best book around on the subject.

This is one of the finest books written for Vietnam veterans and their families, and I've read many. As a former wife of a Vietnam vet, I know too well the emotional devastation that was visited on those of us who were ill prepared for the return of our loved ones, suffering from psychic war wounds.
This book spells out what PTSD is, in clear, understandable language. How I wish I'd had this book years ago, but I am eternally grateful for Chuck Dean's courage and insight into this subject. He is helping so many of us find a way to put our trauma in perspective, and find meaning in our experience. Thank you, Chuck, for writing this book!!

I am a social worker with the Dept of Veterans Affairs and work closely with many Vietnam vets. This book put their experience in perspective for me. My father is also a Vietnam Vet and I have urged him to read this book. I have read many books on treating PTSD and about the Vietnam War, but this, by far, is the finest book I own regarding both of those topics.

Since 1975, nearly three times as many Vietnam veterans have committed suicide than were killed in the war, the divorce rate among Vietnam veterans is above 90 percent, and between 40 and 60 percent of Vietnam combatants have persistent problems related to the war. What is the cause of these terrible statistics, and how can Vietnam veterans cope with flashbacks, depression, fits of rage and worse? Written by a Vietnam veteran, and now in a newly revised and expanded edition, Nam Vet: Making Peace with Your Past is a self-help guide that helps survivors identify the origins of self-destructive behavior with roots in the war, and make lasting peace with the past. Chapters address how to deal with recurring nightmares, survival guilt, PTSD, the dangers of "self-medication" and much more. A profound, earnest and helpful book grounded in realistic appraisal of lasting personal problems relating to the war, strongly recommended for the families of veterans as well as veterans themselves.

Wondering why you are constantly sick, tired or just unhappy in general? If so, I command you to RUN, not walk, over to your local library or bookstore and pick up this brilliant piece of work by Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz. Two of the biggest issues I see with women and self-esteem are a) that they aren't taking good care of themselves (not exercising, eating well, taking vitamins, etc.) and b) that they stuff their emotions by not acknowledging the fact they feel powerless, lonely or just plain angry. I realize the book looks like a tome but it's very easy to skim around for just what you need. Don't be surprised, however, if you end up reading the whole thing.

I love this book b/c it explains so much about me, each day or month that I feel different. It explains why I get it, and on another day I don't. Why my husband thinks the way he does, and it helped me to understand that I must let some things go. It gives me tools I need to eleviate my Arthritis, and my Menopausal aches and pains. Thank you, Tammy

No matter what your brain style, no matter what type of anxiety or
emotion you may feel, it is all part of your intuitive type and its OK.
Instead of criticizing yourself, read this book and find out how it is
you really work and process information and see how it is part of your
GENIOUS!! This book is a must for western health care professionals,
counsellors, etc. but it is also a book for the total woman of the 21st
century because this is how health care is going to be talking. And if
you read this, you have to read Doc Schulz's book on Intuition. I've read
both and I feel empowered and I feel validated of all that is me.

The writing style Mona Lisa uses feels somewhat academic. It's not a quick read, but it is worth the effort.

This book is quite insightful and thought provoking. Mona Lisa Schulz has done a great job of taking mass amounts of complicated research and putting it into a form that the layman can understand. There is definitely a lack of good research on women's bodies/health and I think this book is a milestone in the field. I would highly recommend this book to any woman in any walk of life. The one drawback (if there was one) is that this book tends to be a bit pathological in general so one should caution against becoming a hypochondriac while reading. But as a whole I consider this to be an excellent book that can bring about awareness of the connections between work, family, stress, and physical and mental health.
