The most powerful piece of literature I've ever read!!, October 19, 1998
If you are new to the ancient wisdom about which Vernon Howard writes, then your decision to read his writings may be THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION you will ever make. You have stumbled upon a source of wisdom that will ACTUALLY begin to transform your life and your experience of it.
If you're the kind of person who suspects that there's something very important that has yet to be understood about this life of ours, then you will most likely treasure this book for the rest of your life.
It's now been about 6 years since I came across this book, and I owe Mr. Howard such an unpayable debt of gratitude. I used to walk around throughout my day with a kind of unsettled, simmering anxiety (not to mention facing the major crises every once in a while that we are all accustomed to experiencing). I couldn't tell what exactly it was about, and I was an expert at hiding it, but it was there day, after day, after day.
This book has ACTUALLY changed all that. The curious thing is that I couldn't possibly tell you when or where a part of me changed, all I know is that something is fantastically different thanks to the life-saving wisdom in Mr. Howards writings.
The change has been much like moving from black-and-white TV to color! The beauty of life is back! Now, am I a fancy-shmancy spiritually enlightened man who "has arrived"? Well, I don't think so because I know there's still lots of work to be done. But what I DO know is that for those of us who have lost touch with the "sweetness" of life, there is an ACTUAL, REAL, LIVING WISDOM that will help you to rediscover it. I guarantee it!
I wish I could be there to give you whatever reassurance you need to order this book. I say this because very few people have the good fortune of stumbling upon the very thing that their heart calls out for... but right now, for whatever the reasons, you're one of them. I hope you will give it a try.
Take care...

Wonderful book, July 9, 2001
I searched for years for something real. I read all the so-called spiritual and mystic books. After reading Vernon Howard, who explains my personal mental condition so well, all other books ever written pale by comparison. All his books are marvelous. Now, I get bored reading anyone else, because I sense the author really knows nothing. I can't believe this previous reviewer was so far off the mark. He said this book "depressed" him, that it didn't reveal anything new to him. He doesn't know what he's saying. Do what I did: Buy this book and READ it. You will be grateful you did. Every page is chockfull of new things to learn, about your mind and about your life. Your mind IS your life. Vernon Howard helped me start to break out of my rock-hard, conditioned neurosis. He tells me what's running my life, and how to get rid of it, so I can begin living life the way I was meant to - as a free, happy, relaxed human being. Buy this book. You will be astonished at what you'll learn. Also, I've attended some Vernon Howard classes, conducted nationwide by a nonprofit group dedicated to his amazing teachings. These classes are great; very relaxed, casual, nothing to join, and a lot of FUN.
