5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly Simple, May 6, 2002
By 
S. Atman (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Before You Think Another Thought: An Illustrated Guide to Understanding How Your Thoughts and Beliefs Create Your Life (Paperback)
For those who don't want to spend years in Applied Linguistics classes (I used to teach the subject), who have read "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself," and who don't want to wade through the philosophical mire of the Seth books and other similar pedantic tomes again, this little blue book is for you.

In one hour the reader can learn, through easily read text and simple to remember graphics, the basics of how our beliefs create our thoughts, and in turn, how our thoughts create our experiences. Written in a modern, upbeat, non-metaphysical style, Mr. Doyle says what needs to be said without any gingerbread. The exercises are simple and incredibly enlightening.

I passed this book around my circle of colleagues, and most said something to the effect of "I wish I were teaching THIS! It's about how to deal with oneself in the real world, which we all need to know before tackling chemistry or English or sports."

I've read all the texts and taught many, both good and not-so-good, and Mr. Doyle's "little" book is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Before You Think Another Thought, March 9, 2001
This review is from: Before You Think Another Thought: An Illustrated Guide to Understanding How Your Thoughts and Beliefs Create Your Life (Paperback)
In Before You Think Another Thought, Bruce I. Doyle III, writes that "thoughts and beliefs are the basic elements of all creation. They exist as tiny waves of energy called thoughtforms, whose sole purpose is to carry out the intent of the thinker." He further explains that the lives we live, whether happy or miserable, are the direct result of what we think.

Doyle uses real-life situations to show how our underlying "core" beliefs are developed, and how thoughtforms are created that support those beliefs. The thoughts and beliefs lead to feelings, which then lead to reactions. Those reactions determine our life's experience, leading Doyle to maintain that "beliefs determine experience."

He says "the good news is that with the recognition that you are creating your own life, you can start taking charge--as the designer of your life, no longer a victim of life's random circumstances. You become self-responsible." He explains how developing a positive attitude can change beliefs, and thus change experiences. He offers suggestions for developing positive attitudes so as to get whatever it is that you want from life.

He adds that we can't avoid unpleasant feelings, but we can experience them, and then move on. They don't have to hold us back unless we think they do. He also says that we need to be patient, as "everything in your life will [not] change miraculously overnight."

The appendix includes exercises for recognizing and removing your limiting beliefs and thoughtforms.

Doyle says that "every one of our thoughts is a thread in the fabric of what we experience in our lives. And each one of us weaves our own cloth." In Before You Think Another Thought, he offers readers "new insights into achieving the life you deserve" by teaching them how to transform their negative thoughts and beliefs into positive life experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction on how thoughtforms shape reality, March 30, 1998
This review is from: Before You Think Another Thought: An Illustrated Guide to Understanding How Your Thoughts and Beliefs Create Your Life (Paperback)
This book is the most exciting and refreshing eye opener for me in 10 years. Some people say you have to see it before you believe it. I know that the way the universe and real life works is that you must first believe and visualize positive thoughts in order to see them created. This is the first step for people seeking to end hopelessness and self-pity. Don't overemphasize the negative elements of your life. Give more weight to positive and simple pleasures of life. This book would make an excellent gift to graduating seniors.
