3.0 out of 5 stars Good identifying key issues, patchy on solving them, November 28, 2001

This review is from: The Art of Trust: Healing Your Heart and Opening Your Mind (Paperback)

This book has something to offer those searching to trust again in identifying factors that negate trust (i.e. fear). Lee does well at identifying what keeps us from trusting. However, he seems to offer abstract, cloud-like solutions for trusting that seems to be based on his personal experience in meditation and martial arts. He walks a slippery slope in bringing borderline religious verbage to describe the dynamics of trust. I wish I had an online version of the book to keep what seems appropriate and throw away the rest--however the book isn't all that expensive and does well at qualifying the factors that contribute to a lack of trust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Our Hearts, September 11, 2002

In our world today, surrounded as we are by the dialogues of terrorism and war, and with heavy hearts following the events of 9-11, and violence in the Middle East, remembering the "art of trust" becomes a daily challenge. Dr. Jampolsky's book is, for me, a reminder of what each of us can do, as one person, to help heal not just ourselves but those around us. This is a book of skills, grounded in the realities of everyday life. What I most appreciate in reading Jampolsky's pages is the realization that spirituality is not a distant prayer but is really about living our lives with a focus not just on our own selfish needs but on the needs of all people, and all of life, on our planet. It comes down to learning the skills to not forget that we are truly ONE--regardless of how that might seem when we have been attacked. This book, in my opinion, makes an important contribution.
