5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Me, January 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Evolution of a Warrior: A Book of Personal Transformation (Paperback)

At the end of the 1st chapter, Tony puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger. It was painful to read because that is how I felt at one time. Tony is angry, depressed, and just goes through the motions of living. The author could have been writing about my life. I suppose if you have never felt that way, this book is not for you. But for me it was one of the best books I ever read. Its central themes are simple enough - take responsibility and then take control of your life. After Tony learns how to bed down just about any woman he wants he learns that sexual exploits do not bring happiness. He then learns, the hard way, to deal with people from the heart. Even more importantly, he learns how to deal with himself from the heart.

I almost didn't get this book because of some of the negative reviews. Thankfully, I took a chance. To read this book taught me that I am not alone in my struggle. It made me laugh at times, and at times it was painful to read because it reminded me of the pain I carry. It has given me hope and motivation. I even e-mailed the author with some questions and he gracefully replied.

Being a modern day warrior is not about being a tough macho dude who always gets what he wants. Its about dealing with people from a place of power, but also compassion. If you don't share these beliefs the book is not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Evolution of a Warrior, February 8, 2002

This review is from: The Evolution of a Warrior: A Book of Personal Transformation (Paperback)

Wow! Just plain wow! I just finished this book at 4am after I began reading it yesterday morning. Evolution of a Warrior shook me out of a deep funk. After I put it down I got in bed but I was so energized by some of simple but powerful concepts that I could not fall asleep for over an hour. Some may be turned off by the warrior jargon but having a military background I enjoyed it. The way Regan breaks things down to the basics and then shows how you can build on those basics is powerful. I found it to be well written and very humorous. I plan to reread it this weekend.

1.0 out of 5 stars sad piece of work, September 12, 2002

"monoluver" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Evolution of a Warrior: A Book of Personal Transformation (Paperback)

I bought this book based on the reviews by other readers and I was sorry I did. I have lost faith in the reader's review system on Amazon. This book is a waste of ink and trees. I have to give this book a 1 star only because it's the least amount of stars that I must give.

This is the author's first attempt at writing and it shows. The psychotherapist turned fiction writer tries that to cover everything from how to get over the fear of women to how to invest in the stock market. I guess the author was thinking that if all subjects that were men are interested in are covered, it should impress a reader enough to give the book 5 stars.

The author's suggestion to visit a strip club to get over your fear of women is ludicrous. This practice will only want to view a woman from a distance and never get close enough to have real intimacy with a woman. Why don't we all save the trip to the strip club and lose our fear of women by watching porn at home. This is a very sad piece of work.

I was going to resell my "book", but decided that I can't expose another human being to this work. I decided to trash it.
