Over the last 15 years I have read many self-help books. Tho many have been helpful in some way, not all have had such an immediate impact on personal identity and introspection.

"Come To Your Senses" is a wonderful book. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about how to gain insight into who I am. I also appreciate Dr. Block's approach to the concept of self as some ideas and approaches have been difficult for me to grasp so readily.

Thank you Dr. Block for clearing the otherwise muddy waters of my journey.

Important for all doctors, of medicine and chiropractic, or whichever, is the fact that the mind and thought are the origin of some forms of illness and physical dysfunction. It is a difficult thing to reverse thoughts, or stop them in their destructive tracks. This book is a tool on how to do it. Mr J. Krishnamurti's writings uncovered thought as a destructive thing for me many years ago. Dr and Mrs Block's book puts a practical, doable slant on thought related disease and deceit of the true self. The best ten bucks you'll ever spend.

This book has been like a miracle for me. It tells you HOW to
reach that beautiful spiritual place so many of us have strived
for with little or no success. It's so simple! I can't thank Dr. Block enough for quite literally changing my life. I hope to
get a chance to meet him in person one day. By the way, this is the first book I've ever written a review on.

Best self-help book I have ever read, hands down, and I have read hundreds. My background is in mental health and I can say with clarity that Dr. Block has a legitimate new development here that has made a remarkable difference in my life.

The Identity System and it's requirements were a true revelation to me. I can see how just a few rigid requirements has created a series of ongoing problems - laziness, conflict in relationships and a rigid character. Learning to diffuse my requirements has helped me to relax significantly. I have been experiencing greater inner peace, smoother relationships - I have even been experiencing relief from insomnia and sleeping better than I have in my entire life.

Well done, Dr. Block!

As I was reading this book, a constant thought I had was why this book was not as well-known as many others on self-improvement or stress management. Maybe the idea of achieving peace of mind through thought labelling and paying attention to one's senses sounds too simplistic. Maybe the idea that the solution to transforming one's life lies within oneself sounds too good to be true. This book deserves to be read by more people who are in need of an answer to life's many seemingly unsolvable issues. Give this book, more importantly yourself, a chance by picking up a copy of it.

This book is amazing. It teaches you to get rid of untrue thoughts and helps you to live in the moment with the 5 senses God gave you. The past is gone, the future is nonexistent and the present is real.

This is so incredibly enlightening, world changing, life changing, you name it. Everybody should know about this book, like the last reviewer I am surprised that they don't. Knocks spots of Byron katie and all that, much more sensible, practical and applicable, but it has the potential to enable the reader to access the most spiritual of realms.

This book cuts right to the essence of what it means to be "you". What is this thing? Why does it have habits? Why am I so upset today? Does the madness end?

Many psychology books offer theory and exercises for dissecting your problems and patterns like a science experiment. That'd be great if you were learning how to fix a car, but you aren't a car. We need to fix ourselves from the inside out. Theories are easily misunderstood or can work for a while, and then we give up and we're back to our old habits. Such is life? Sure, if you're going to remain prisoner to the idea of your damaged self and identity system.

Learning about the developmental stages of psychology is fascinating as a science, but it won't help you stop being miserable when you talk to your boss or help you understand why you drink or smoke too much. You don't need more systems or inspiration from false leaders. You need to understand yourself and this book will open your mind your infinite possibilities.

Since 2004, I have read many self help books and I have learned a little bit from each one, after reading Dr. Blocks books it dovetailed everything together for me, it resonated with me. Your book is the only self help book I will ever read again. I believe in my heart that as long as I continue to do the practices, do the work and make it a part of my life for the rest of my life, I'm going to be OK! I also bought the book for my sister. It is helping her better deal with challenges in her marriage. I am recommending the book to many of my friends and I am buying it as gifts. I want my mom and aunt to read the book, but the only language they speak is Greek. I will contact the Greek publishers I know and make a good recommendation for the book."

Dr. Block, a long-time practicing psychiatrist and medical school lecturer, has created a powerful process here that, well practiced, is the most significant tool I have ever seen for overcoming damaging thoughts and behaviors. I couldn't recommend this book more enthusiastically.
