Review

Evolve yourself is a short, snappy handbook on life. Author Rich Rahn suggests a conscious choice of personal evolution, of questioning long-held beliefs and rethinking old patterns. The book is a short-cut to personal happiness presented with humor and in palatable doses, without confusing long-winded speeches. "This book is about your relationship with 'life'. As your perspective changes, your relationship changes. Big subjects everyone has to deal with are approached simply and directly. Everyone can understand it," Rahn said. He also noted that after reading "Evolve yourself," some have suggested that is should be read as a daily meditation, one section at a time. -- Ellen McGeagh, Oakland Press, February 25, 1999

Rich Rahn is infatuated with life. With a youthful earnestness and an entrepreneur's zeal, Rahn has assembled a most thought-provoking book, "Evolve yourself." Don't expect heavy psychological theory. The introduction to Rahn's book opens with a quote by Dante and Jefferson Airplane. The simple message: "Feed your head." Unlike those "Life's Little Instruction Books" on the counters at bookstores, Rahn's book has a refreshing intimacy and sense of humor. There is something poetic and real for Rahn about balancing humor with the proverbial search for meaning. Perspective doesn't necessarily require "deep thinking." Just a disciplined approach and an open mind. "You're not always in control of your experiences, but you are in control of how you react to them," says Rahn. It's that kind of common wisdom that the book distributors of "Evolve yourself" found refreshing. And, it's that kind of perspective Rahn hopes readers will find enlightening. -- Frank Provenzano, Observer & Eccentric, January 17, 1999


Product Description

Evolve yourself is an excellent introduction to the concept of Conscious Personal Evolution. It discusses how and why our perspective on everything is changing the universe, the nature of reality, the evolution of the human consciousness, and the relationship between science and religion. This changing perspective is what the experts are calling our conscious evolution. In Evolve yourself, author Rich Rahn explores how this new perspective impacts us each personally and what we need to know in order to evolve emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Evolve yourself is a simple, easy and accessible guide that gets to the heart of the human experience. We don't want to just have more, we want to be more. Evolve yourself shows us how.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Small Is Beautiful", March 13, 2000
By William Veltrop (Soquel, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My congratulations to Rich Rahn!

I started reading "Evolve Yourself" just before dinner, reading portions out loud to my wife, Marilyn, and completed my first read-through before finishing dessert.

Although the title suggests that this is yet another "How To" book, it is "something entirely different." I see it as a brilliantly crafted challenge to us to live up to our role as co-evolutionaries-to become conscious participants in the long-playing "Evolution is by far man's most important discovery. It's our true creation story and we've only begun to fully understand it. Biologically, physically, emotionally, socially, culturally we evolve. It's the only game in town."

In sketching out his views about this game, Rich Rahn draws from such pioneering thinkers that as Ken Wilber, Bucky Fuller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Joseph Campbell, Marilyn Ferguson, E.F. Schumacher, Fritjof Capra and Margaret Wheatley.

What filled me with such delight was Rich's unique capacity to cover an enormous amount of deep philosophical territory with a brilliant display of humor, brevity and simplicity of expression. He did a fantastic job of shining a light on the incredible challenge and opportunity that we humans have at this moment in our evolutionary journey - and he did it without preaching or trivializing.

I also appreciated the open way he shares who he is in this infinite game as he urges us to join in.

Thanks, Rich Rahn. We needed this. Keep on trucking.

P.S. If this book speaks to you, I recommend Barbara Marx Hubbard's latest book, "Conscious Evolution." You won't be disappointed. END

4.0 out of 5 stars Sprituality that makes sense for a change!, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
As a disenfranchised Catholic, I found Rich Rahn's down-to-Earth and real take on spirituality refreshing and absolutely applicable to my daily life. Something my religious upbringing had failed me. So, if you're like me, you'll find this little book that's full of big ideas a welcome read. I really liked it. And so will all my friends who are getting it for Christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really cool, different perspective on life., May 1, 1999
By Jenna Coleman (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
A fantastic little book for anybody's who's searching for more meaning in their life. It really gives you a different way of looking at the world and your life. The author, Rich Rahn, does an excellent job of explaining some pretty complicated concepts about the world and the universe, how we think, the new understanding of evolution and how everything evolves this way including our minds or our consciousness. I liked it because it talks about spirtuality and higher consciousness without bringing religion and god into the equation too much. My favorite part was the chapter on beliefs. He talks about how our beliefs impact how we perceive the world, people, situations and how they can really be limiting to us. And that we should evaluate our beliefs to see if they're working for us or against us. Really cool. Everybody should get this book because it's easy and fun to read, not complicated like a lot of books on this stuff and gives you some valuable tools for changing your perspective on your life for the better. Highly recommended. (My husband liked it, too!)

I usually try to pick up anything I can on consciousness, higher consciousness and related topics. A lot of them can be spacey and, you know, for the granola crowd. Read more
