Patricia's book, and the practice on which it is based, is AMAZING. Really phenomenal. I am a major skeptic of the "happiness business" - the last book I read was Barbara Ehrenreich's critique of this social phenomenon - and I can WHOLEHEARTEDLY say that the INTENSATI METHOD IS SOMETHING NEW, DIFFERENT, AND ENTIRELY EMPOWERING. I have studied with Patricia for years, and the IntenSati method has improved every aspect of my life measurably... the body is just the beginning. This book presents a cogent and compelling method that inspires readers to get passionate, enthusiastic, and disciplined about getting the life and body they want now. The IntenSati Method is peerless! Buy it today! The DVDs too!

Finally! Patricia Moreno, where have you been all of my life!?! I have tried every diet out there, tried every exercise method and read every book on the market. For the first time I was not intimidated by a fitness guru, but felt like she was an old friend. Patricia showed me how to "eat with intention" and how working out and affirmations are a lifestyle, not a fad diet. It was a really easy read and have since then bought all of Patricia's workout dvd's. I cannot recommend this book enough to everyone who has literally tried everything! It really works. Patricia Moreno, namaste.

I first started IntenSati w/some DVD's and was hooked. I live in Montana and don't have access to any classes but I love the workouts & the affirmations. The book has added so much more! When I was not physically able to work out because of Chemo/Radiation treatments, I held the affirmations in my head and in my mind, I felt better. Like Patricia says, "you can't think 'I am happy and I am sad' at the same time". When you train your mind to be where you want it to be (happy, strong, greatful, lean...), your body follows. When doing these exercises & affirmations, you don't realize how hard your body is working when focusing on "I AM STRONG NOW!!!"

Intensati has added so much to my life! I started practicing and even training with Patricia a little over a year ago and I have grown so much as a person. Patricia not only talks the talk, she walks the walk and she beautifully shares her "talk and walk" with everyone in class, in training and now in her book. It is not just a weight loss book, it is a book to help everyone live a better life! She totally gets the mind, body, spirit connection that so many people are craving and they don't even know it. You cannot get healthy in one of these areas of your life without nourishing all 3 and Intensati teaches you how to actively nourish your mind, body and spirit - and therefore it helps you create a life better than you could have ever imagined!! A must read.

I came across Patricia Moreno's Warrior Challenge and was thrilled to be accepted into the program. The IntenSati Method: The Seven Principles to Thinner Peace came out at the same time and I was so touched by her story, of how she struggled with her weight and kept looking outside for that magical thing to make it happen. What I love is how intenSati integrated various parts of my life into one wonderful package with the one hour workout composed of yoga, meditation, cardio, dance and positive affirmations, plus the practice of being conscious and of controlling our thoughts to become who we want to be. There's something more to this book that weight-loss/fitness/self-help doesn't quite cover: the actions that cement all of these intentions and the incredibly supportive and beautiful community of like-minded individuals. This booked help me to understand the moves a lot better and to have more respect and love for myself. The way I feel after an intenSati workout, the sense of control, strength and empowerment cannot be found on an elliptical machine or on a therapist's couch. Chocolate is even included on the meal plan--can it get any better than that?! Within one month of doing 3 one-hour workouts a week, I saw amazing results and didn't even think of it as exercise. I bought copies for my friends and loved ones so that they can also benefit from Moreno's practice and live a life they love in a body they love. Isn't that what we all want?

Patricia's book and method bring in what so many others neglect....the decision to change your thinking about your eating and exercise habits. Before we can really make a change and live the life we want to live, we have to believe that we can do it and that we're worth the work. Patricia's method gives us the tools to do just that: to change our beliefs. There's no substitute for attending an intenSati class, but this book and the DVDs are a close second. intenSati is sweeping the country, so check [...] often to see if there are classes in your area. I thought it was beyond weird when I first started but love the classes and even lead them now. Highly recommended.

Patricia Moreno has designed a revolutionary new way to become fit and in shape. This is an incredible book with an incredible concept behind it... change your mind and get a body you love and a life you love! It begins with changing what you think and what you tell yourself. Fitness is more than just doing push-ups and sit-ups, it is about being fit in mind and body. The book is filled with specifics of how to think and work out to become fit, happy and successful. Imagine that? Patricia is onto something BIG!

Patricia Moreno has DONE IT- she has discovered the way to lose weight and keep it off (oh wait, did I mention you will also finish the workout with a new outlook on life??) Her book breaks down her fun and challenging exercise routine which ANYONE can committ to and teaches you how to attract exactly what you want into your life FOR REAL. Her practice will change you forever, no matter what physical OR mental state you are in. Order it now, it will be the best move you ever make!

There's a lot to be said for someone who exudes such confidence in their own ability to engage in a discipline to better themselves. And certainly Patricia Moreno arms people with such tools in her book THE INTENSATI METHOD. Unfortunately, she talks about finding "thinner peace" but this book won't necessarily get you there. Perhaps it will change your mindset about how you feel about your body and whether you are content at whatever size you happen to be. But the solutions in this book are all focused on changing the mental aspect of your approach to weight loss (again, not a bad thing) and choosing various exercises to get you there. Yet nutrition is a big part of this equation and it's not discussed in a meaningful way in this book.

At first I thought this was just going to be another weight loss/exercise book but I wanted to read it because I loved the other work the author has done. This book turned out to be a second bible. I found more in it about how to get better energy about myself, tips and things to be a better me. Small things that don't take all day and alot of work. I didn't realize how this book would change my thoughts and how happy the easy exercises(mind and body) would make me feel. I use this book more for the inspiring reading than a workout book. I know you will love reading it also.
