5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, but true!, April 6, 2008

By 

Eva Rotariu "princess eva" (Romania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychology of Freedom (Hardcover)

Almost every chapter has ideas that shock you to denial, but later when you read the explanations you realize how true they are.

You will learn why:

- altruism is a form of self oppression

- there are times you should not tell the truth, you should lie

- crying with others is a form of hate

- personal sovereignty

- you have the right to decide what is harmful for you in a situation on no objective basis

And many others.

It is really worth reading it - it's a book that changes you. You cannot read it and think the same way as before.

I highly recommend it for inner healing and strengthening.

By the way - the book doesn't promote sex between children. It says it is naturally for children to explore themselves and each other and if you repress them they will learn to be ashamed of and supress their sexuality. Children need to develop a healthy view on sexuality and there are better ways than supressing.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Book Condones Sex Acts Between Children, January 25, 2003

This review is from: Psychology of Freedom (Hardcover)

Not only are the views of the author perverse, they are incorrect. Children do not want sex acts with other children. Only pedophiles do.
