This is absolutely the best book I have ever read on getting your
inner self centered. I am 76 now and over twenty years ago I went
through a devastating divorce and moved 3,000 miles away knowing
no one. I had convinced myself I could survive. I bought this book
the first year I came and have read and re-read it many many times.
There are golden nuggets like: The past is prologue, so forget it.
It doesnt exist.Nothing exists but the present moment, the here and now.
Most of us have heard this many times but in the end it is the absolute
truth. Dealing with Negativities is one of the best chapters.
As our negativism is probably the one major curse that prevents
us from getting truly centered. For a self help book, this one is
first and foremost one of the best.

There is a lot of depth to this book, then there is a section on retaining your subconscious to lose weight and quit smoking. This book seems stuck between the secrets of the universe and self help. New Agers will be happy to find the chapters on the human Aura, Psychic Energy and Healing. Those seeking enlightement are going to like the chapters on Detachment, Meditation and Finding the True Self. There is a terrific exercise on detachment (IMO). This book also has a pretty comprehensive description of "Conscious Creation". There are some good exercises in this book but for the most part I didn't read anything in here revolutionary or that I haven't read somewhere before. The book does agree with texts I've read prior and perhaps its value is bringing many topics together in one place.

After I saw the movie scanners I have be looking to see if there was any real truth to psychic power or mind power to influence any thing besides ones self. I bought many books after I bought this one it said it had no interest in creating telepaths I almost put down. But I read it and slowly practiced the exercises. I can only say if you have the desire to live in this world at a level completely above mentally 87% of others read and practice this book.

I bought it and thought it was an audiobook of CD, but it is actually a cassett. My mistake. So I don't have a cassett player and I may have to wait till later to get myself downgraded to a cassett player in order to listen to it.
