"Secrets of the Yellow Brick Road by Jesse Stewart is brilliant in conception and execution. This elucidation of a great myth is exciting, original and profoundly helpful." M. Scott Peck - author The Road Less Traveled

I have participated in a workshop led by Jesse Stewart and am now planning of leading a group using the book as a basis for discussion. I think the author's insights are quite significant for anyone and all ages as we go through life's trnsitions. The Wizard of Oz is known by all and this makes the concepts easier to understand. It is looking at a child's story thorugh an adults' eyes.

Initially I thought this might be a flip review of the movie the Wizard of Oz, but rather found it to be a thorough textbook and very helpful to me and my practice. And the mandala made great sense at the end. I would like to use it as a group study book.

It was very readable and thought provoking. I found it opening doors to making a spiritual journey out of daily living.

This book lays out wonderfully the metaphor of our life's journey. It is an important tool. I thoroughly enjoyed the interpretation and particularly liked the spatial models.
