Very timely - considering current world events around political and religious posturing. I found this book thought-provoking and insightful. It is obviously an invitation to re-examine how people, including myself, actually perceive the world and respond to those perceptions. Well done!

The Golden Frog is an inspiring look at the growth of two men, one who knows there is more to life than what you get in school. And one who is helped to that discovery... And it shows that there are people out there to help each of us along on our journeys. I loved the book!

This book took me back to my childhood and those special memories, reminded me of the joy of a special friendship and inspired me when I looked at the changes in Bruce and Ashley's relationship. It is a thought provoking, heartwarming story and I recommend you buy it and discover for yourself the magic that is within us all.

I was pleasantly surprised at what a good story this was and how seamlessly the teachings were woven into the story and how insightful and powerful the teachings are. It's not like any other "spiritual" book I have read as it makes the knowledge seem attainable for everyone and very reality based. I am curious to learn more about this author and his teachings.

This book has a lot of elements; the magic of discovery, the beauty of relationships, the power of wisdom, that reminded me of what gives life it's true meaning. I felt energized, comforted, somehow more open to life. I think it's a must read.

I've never written a book review but had to for The Golden Frog. I'm a nurse and found this book so refreshing and heartwarming. The Golden Frog enlivens the common thread of humanity in each of us -- touching the soul in a sweet yet profound way. My friends and family will be receiving it for Christmas!

It's not easy to delve into the mysteries of being human in the 21st century, but this book comes as close as any I've read, including the obfuscating New and Old Testaments. This book fortunately doesn't attempt to answer all your questions about the meaning of life, but it does ask thought-provoking questions. Read it with an open mind, and read it more than once to catch all the nuance. By the second read, you'll start to re-examine your own life.

Stirred memories, emotions and feelings that I had all but forgotten from my life. A few too many tears for a guy like me, but I couldn't put it down. Inspiring me to believe in human potential and to rediscover what had been lost to my assumptions and conditionings. Wow!

This is a delightful book and it is ingenious. A person can adventure through a variety of realities, all elicited by the story. It's as thought-provoking and inspiring as it is heartwarming (it makes me cry). Each time I read The Golden Frog, my experience is expanded, I have new insights, and I understand things more deeply.

The concepts for personal growth offered in this book are subtle, but more powerful than any therapy I've run across. And, I've been a counselor for over 20 years. A fun book, and one that invites reflection, The Golden Frog receives my highest recommendation.

Every now and then a book comes along that deeply and truly changes people's lives. This is that kind of book. Yesterday, a friend told me that her sister, who is not especially spiritual, had just read The Golden Frog. Now this book is all she wants to talk about.
Expect to plunge deeper into the structure of life and existence than you ever thought possible. Do you have questions about how the universe really works? Do you have deep questions within yourself that no one has satisfactorily answered? These are the kinds of questions that Dr. Mamas authentically explains in this book, all told within a fascinating story. If you are the curious type, the type that is intrigued by the mysteries of life- you'll be glad you bought this book. I guarantee you'll be re-reading it.
