I'm trained in cognitive science, and am now a practicing health and wellness coach. So I've read a ton of self help books. Some scroll through techniques, some cheer you on, others collect case studies, and still others claim cutting edge science is the key. I like and refer to Dr. Ray's book more than most--because she combines all of these with a palpable feeling of reality. She doesn't just know and explain some things, she's struggled and grown and emerged from difficult places by using them herself.

On the one hand, Valencia's story is moving in its own right. And on the other, many of the major themes and tools of the human potential movement are woven here into a book that, I think, tells it like it is. And like it's going to have to be, if we are to really heal ourselves, emerge as empowered individuals and families, and resolve the social and environmental crises that currently threaten us. I recommend it to some of my clients, and it might be just right for you too.

I hold a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan, and have been a professional coach and consultant for over two decades. I actively keep up with the literature, research, and seek out new ideas and approaches. I recently found Valencia Ray's "Empower Up and Play Big," and learned a lot of new information that is very useful to me personally and professionally. In particular, she offered valuable insights about the neurological basis of our mindsets based on brain science. I also loved her discussion of FEAR - Fictitious Evidence Affecting Reality. I highly recommend this book, as well as signing up for her blog and newsletter, which I've since done as well.

What a gift Dr. Ray has given us by making neuroscience and metaphysics concepts plain and simple. Empower Up and Play Big presents age old wisdom in bite-sized pieces. The book is perfect for anyone who seeks a greater understanding of HOW spiritual and emotional integrity impact both personal success and survival of the human race. Want to change the world? Read this and pay it forward.

Dr. Valencia Ray's book Empower Up & Play Big reminds us that self mastery is an inside job. She gives us a look inside her own journey and supports her realizations with a powerful blend of medical science, quantum physics & metaphysics! Valencia has authored a definitive work in league with the masters of new thought & ancient wisdom. I highly recommend the book and plan to gift it to friends & family.

Dr Valencia Ray's has written a winner! Dr. Ray's book Empower Up and Play Big. Winning at Life from the Inside Out is a must read for anyone who feels they want more out of life, to be more, to do more and be happy. Dr. Ray utilizes modern medical science, cognitive psychology, the wisdom of the ages and spiritual practices to explain and guide you to overcome your fears by having the confidence to live and be your best. By sharing her own personal journey, she shows you that positive changes can be made at any stage in life. I highly recommend this book.
