5.0 out of 5 stars Learn the truth about opinions, April 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Weight Loss for the Mind (Paperback)

Wow, Stuart Wilde is a gift from God! He really answers some of my questions I have about life. At this point in my life (late 30's, wish I had this knowledge in my 20's), I want more answers to why I'm here on earth, what I'm supposed to be doing, why I have encountered so many conflicts in life with myself and others etc... When I heard his theory about 'opinions' it really made sense! Got to get 'Weight Loss for the Mind' - It really opens your mind to reality without emotions. Co-incidently, it goes hand in hand with a book I am working through 'Yes or No - The guide to better Decisions' by Spencer Johnson M.D. (Also author of 'Who Moved My Cheese').

Stuart opens your eyes to a different way of looking at things. You'll love his books on audio because his sense of humor gets your attention to what you need to know. Each time I listen to it again, I learn more. Thank you Stuart!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the only self-help book you'll ever need., December 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Weight Loss for the Mind (Paperback)

If you can grasp and truly come to understand the concepts that Stuart presents in this book, you will, without a doubt, be freed from the pain, anguish, moral dilemmas, and negative emotion most people believe come with the territory of everyday living. The key to having everything is letting go of everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Little Book, October 3, 2006

"Weight Loss for the Mind" is not a book for those who'd like to lose pounds or inches from their bodies, instead it's about losing the weight/anguish within your mind.

Although this book is really small in size, it provides a "powerful punch" - lots of great ideas, thoughts, insights & concepts to help people alleviate weighty minds - therefore creating a happy, wonderful existence instead.

The types of things discussed include:

*Perceptions, psychology & metaphysics

*Mental weight as being the interaction of 2 or more forces within your mind

*What's behind, & how to deal with, such emotions as fear, confusion, frustration, guilt, & anger

*How & why emotions get in our way

*Using visualization to create what you'd like/enjoy

*How we actually push away that which we truly want in life & how we can begin to move towards that which we'd like to experience

*Eliminating confusion & making decisions based on feelings (not emotions)

*Learning to accept the contradictions of life

*Traning your mind to be less dogmatic & rigid

*It's our expectations that create contradictions, and it's these contradictions that make life feel difficult

*Instead of fighting against what's happening, go with it - enjoying everything life has to give

*By taking the emotions out of it, we no longer automatically react

*Events/circumstances are neither positive or negative, they only become that way by how we view them - and we can choose how we view them.


Overall, I found this to be a wonderful, insightful, easy read. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to create change within their lives - it has much to offer!
