I have had great good fortune. I found work I loved to which I was well suited--helping people to find, explore and change the beliefs that held them back in life. The result is happiness and creativity. What a joy to watch them flourish.

Then my two books, "EMOTIONAL OPTIONS" and "TRAVELLING FREE: How to Recover from the Past by Changing Your Beliefs" received strong review. They drew endorsements from mega bestselling authors in my field such as Deepak Chopra and Bernie Siegel. They are still in print after all these years.

I have had a rare opportunity for an author. I used my own book, "EMOTIONAL OPTIONS" to teach classes. Students in workshops, trainings and short seminars revealed what worked and what needed work. For over 12 years, I took careful notes so that I could bring out this new, expanded editon and share it with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Helpful!, March 13, 2005

This review is from: Emotional Options: A Handbook for Happiness (Paperback)

This little book packs more tools for happiness, success and fulfillment than my entire bookshelf of motivational, business management, leadership success and various other "how to" books!

Every time I use this simple-to-learn method for exploring the feelings I or others don't like having, I am absolutely amazed at how quickly I learn about some limiting thought process that is driving unwanted emotional reactions. This awareness has been absolutely liberating. The hardest part is remembering to use the tools.

Mandy Evans writes with clarity, respect, and loving acceptance of our human emotions. Emotional Options has taught me to look more deeply at what I and others truely want. I now understand the real power of our desires and the influence of our beliefs.

I love how universal the tools are. I have used them in all areas of my life - both professional and personal. The tools have helped to resolve staff conflicts, assist with difficult management decisions, and support prospects move more effectively through a decision and buying process. In my personal life, I have helped myself and others deal with feelings about death, dying, divorse, depression, anger, and frustration. A few simple questions offered with an accepting attitude create such empowering poise that people keep asking - how did you do that? Then I tell them about Emotional Options.

If you want a practical book that can truly be life-changing, you must read Emotional Options.

This review is from: Emotional Options: A Handbook for Happiness (Paperback)

I had a problem that was nagging me for quite a few years - not enough to really change my life or mess me up but bothersome. It was because a close friend of many years betrayed me. Another friend knew the story and knew I was troubled and gave me this book, "Emotional Options" by Mandy Evans. I am not too enthusiastic about psychoanalysis or touchy-feely type meetings, etc. I understand other people seeking this kind of help but it's not for me. My attitude has always been "That's life, it's over, I'll put it behind me and move on." To my surprise, this book was a tremendous help to me. It enabled me in the sense that I could see that I had options in dealing with the hurt and disappointment and, most importantly, that I had set this up, that I was partly responsible for allowing it to happen. The realization that I was partially at fault in the situation allows me to forgive myself and approach new projects more effectively. Thanks to Ms. Evans I am most assuredly a happier person.

This review is from: Emotional Options: A Handbook for Happiness (Paperback)

Mandy Evans writes with great clarity, simplicity and compassion to bring home to the reader a depth of understanding of how we unconciously carry self defeating beliefs and how they inhibit our ability to create happiness in our lives; and even better, she offers a simple practical method for recognizing and transforming these beliefs so that we can grow in our ability to be happier and more effective in our life now. Not an advice book or a better belief system, but instead, a means for finding in ourselves what really works best for us ...and that really is its greatest power. After using this method for 2 plus years I have found it to be empowering and transformative, and I really love Mandy's wonderful simplicity of expression.
