I read this book back in 2000 when I was dealing with chronic depression and anger issues. There are a LOT of books out there on self-help and emotional healing, etc, and many of them while "highly acclaimed" have a huge number of both five star and one star reviews here on amazon. I've read several of those, which I won't bother to mention, and I can say they do tend to feel hokey, vague, overly-religious, or too 'chicken-soupy.' But from a purely personal opinion, I will say this book helped me more than any other, in a very practical way.
When I was at my worst, I did not want to hear "it's going to be okay." I could easily and instantly dismiss any person or book that began by trying to tell me everything would work out. Even if "positive thinking" is a great personal philosophy for some, many people who are stuck in the darker corners of their minds cannot believe in "thinking yourself happy." This book took me through steps which helped me access a Zen-like perspective, but was not trying to sell Zen or any other particular mode of thinking (in my humble opinion). As I read "Handbook to Higher Consciousness", I was able to view my problems and pains from a distance. It may sound vague, but I really comprehended and was able to apply the idea of 'stepping out of my mind' and experiencing my more difficult moments 'as if they were movies playing on the screen of my mind.' After completing the book, I didn't feel I was pressured to seek out classes, read other books (so many acclaimed self-help authors write sequels for some reason - if the philosophy was so sound why do I need to buy a sequel?), or buy any other sort of merchandise. This book is complete lesson in and of itself. I have loaned my copy out enough times that I have had to replace it.
If you feel like you are drowning in your own emotion, I humbly feel that this book can teach you to float.

Format:Paperback
A handbook indeed, to be referred to more than occasionally.
One of its major tenets, is that the source of most of our unhappiness is when the world doesn't conform to our expectations. It helps us accept what happens to us in life, not to be interpreted as throwing our hands up and surrendering to a notion that we are powerless to affect our life, but in fact its message is one of empowerment, whereby we act to change whatever we can, and doing so more effectively when we are free from emotional turmoil.
The book is about how to free ourselves from this unnecessary emotionalism that many times controls our lives; to learn how to use the awesome biocomputer that is our brain and reprogram it to more fully realize your potential for a happier life.

Format:Paperback
The author sees our brain as a computer and our experiences of life as the computer's programs. The computer can be powerful but if the programs are bad, the machine will not work properly so it will be a bad machine.
In this book he help us to identify the bad programs we possibly have and he give us the tools to deprogram them and live a healthier and happier life.
I already bought more than 20 copies of this book to give to people around me. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to read this book and maybe, just like myself, to wake up to the real meaning of life.

Stop jealousy, insecurity, etc, and step into your higher...
First of all, as with any "self help" book, the key word is SELF. Don't expect a book to give you awareness of yourSELF. Read more
