This is a book and CD. The book explains some of the key elements and benefits of deep relaxation, and the 30 minute CD provides an excellent way of achieving this state of inner peace.

This CD has got to be one of the best guided meditation CDs available. Dr. Weiss uses imagery that is easy and natural to invoke, he has a soothing enough voice, and Steve Halpern's music is perfect.

A quick comparison with two highly rated similar products: Deepak Chopra provides a good CD, "The Soul of Healing Meditations", but it leaves you your own for several minutes at a time (with just the music sound track) and therefore doesn't help you stay "guided" and focused. There's a highly rated CD by Bodhipaksa, "Guided Meditations", which is also good, but there is no music to keep the mind flowing along (the CD is voice only), and the imagery is not as easy or natural to invoke as that of Dr. Weiss.

"Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace" is the third such work from Dr. Weiss, and is the best of the three. The two previous works ("Meditation" and "Regression") last 20 minutes each, which I find a better length of time, but unfortunately Dr. Weiss uses an echo effect for his voice that doesn't quite fit, and the music is not the same quality. These days I use "Meditation" once in while for a change.

Dr. Weiss is a graduate of Yale Medical School, and former Chairman of Psychiatry at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Miami. He spent many years developing successful treatment protocols that include guided meditation. (I should mention that he successfully pioneered the use of past life regression as a treatment modality. Some people find this disagreeable, however, even if you're one of these folks, don't let it stop you from acquiring "Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace" which stands entirely on its own merits as an excellent guided meditation.)

The CD included with this book is well done by Brian Weiss. One of the best of its kind. His voice is clear and soothing to help guide you into a relaxing state of mind and body to help you eliminate everyday stress. Extremely helpful if one encounters difficulty getting to sleep.

I found that while the book that accompanies the CD is a little simplistic for my needs it may be helpful to people whose understanding of the various conditions applying to stress and anxiety is minimal and it is well laid out but the real value of this product lies in the meditation CD which I use daily in addition to my medication to help control panic disorder which started only a few months ago. I can confirm that it has made considerable difference to my wellbeing and I have monitored improvements in my blood pressure. I recommend its consistent use as an aid to anyone troubled with stress or anxiety problems.

I felt I needed help to reduce the stress caused by the upcoming anniversery of my daughter's death and so decided to buy Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace by Brian Weiss. It arrived three days ago and I've used the CD three times already. I can say that it has done more to relieve my stress than I thought was possible. Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!

I use this CD for work atleast once a week in a group setting. I like this CD personally and professionally. Those who I serve also give me very positive feed back. My only tip....it can get tiring listening to the same one if you would use it often so I think it is a great help to have atleast a couple of choices.

The book and spoken word cd combo is great, but the Steven Halpern music is worth the price of admission by itself!

"Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace" must be one of the best relaxation/self-healing CDs. Since I started using it I stopped smoking, became a vegan, stopped drinking coffee and started exercising daily. I use this CD 3-4 times a week and I wouldn't want to be without it. Don't hesitate to purchase it!

Although the book was a quick read, it was packed with solid information. The CD was even better! To date, I have yet to go as deep in my meditation practice as with Dr. Weiss's CD. This little package is a gem and worth every cent. Enjoy!

i found the book to be good, but the things spoken about where at least, for me, obvious...things i already knew about stress and how to eliminate it; but, the cd which comes with the book makes the book worth buying

This was easy to read and very helpful. The CD was relaxing. I will have to use it a number of times before I get the maximum benefit. Like everything else, you get what you put into it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to eliminate stress and find inner peace. However, this book will provide you with all of the information and tools you need to do it, but YOU have to do it! A very pleasant read.
