5.0 out of 5 stars Get Started Following the Path of Your Purpose!, November 21, 2000

By	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

This book deserves more than five stars.

The Land of I Can is a source of instant courage to help us step forward in our lives towards that which serves our inner purpose. Reading this book is like having your best friend or a loving parent there to urge you on, just when the going gets tough!

Many books are written around the metaphor of a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step. This book, too, employs that metaphor, but also extends it to include the almost equally popular metaphor of the journey being the end rather than the means. I found that conjunction of the two metaphors to be powerful and interesting.

The tone of the book is supportive and understanding, but it is also remorseless in urging you to move on to the next step . . . whatever that is. To help you find that direction, another favorite metaphor is used . . . that there are no external forces to affect you. "In The Land of I Can, there are no barriers -- no limitations."

Well, where to then? "What does your Soul ache to do?" I love that question. It is inspiring and inspired. I hope you will find it as powerful and helpful as I do.

Naturally, there will be delays, setbacks, and heart ache along the way. Susan Gilbert acknowledges and accepts those unavoidable experiences, and shows you how to keep from being distracted by them away from your purpose. These sections are particularly helpful. For example, consider: "Cry your tears. Feel your sadness . . . . To feel your sadness now, will allow you to feel joy . . . [in the future]."

The book is strengthened by the living energy of the illustrations by Jill E. Holden, which give the words more tangible meaning and emotional significance.

This book is both a good resource to always have close at hand for yourself, and a good gift to share with others when you cannot be there to give them your support in person.

I strongly urge you to take several minutes each day to consider if you are on the right road. The words and illustrations in this book would make a helpful beginning to each of those ruminations.

Be yourself . . . moving on to where you should be!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bible for the Human Potential Movement, April 5, 2002

By	George Goddard (Encinitas, CA USA) - See all my reviews

How many books have I read and said to myself something like: "Wow - this book is a real eye opener." But now if you ask me what the book did for my life or what the book was about, I can't tell you. These books I have read only once.

On the other hand, I have probably read The Land of I Can ten times. And I will read it again many more times. The pictures go very well with the text.

What struck me most was the page: "Ask yourself WHAT? Not How? Not When? Just WHAT?" After talking to the author, I realized I have usually been in "The Land of Fear." Instead of focusing on taking one small step, I get all caught up in worrying about how and when.

Being a complicationist, this books really appeals to me. Susan Gilbert has simplified her message so much that it strikes you in the face, it makes you ask yourself: "Okay, so I've heard this before, but am I doing it? Do I really believe this? What am I doing about my dream?"

This book may well become the bible of the human potential movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a nice book!, April 14, 2001

By	Robert Goodman (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful little book. It is simple, uplifting, inspiring, and reassuring. The gentle artwork is a joy to get lost in. And the message is both profound and simple at the same time.

The Land of I Can is a timely reminder that life doesn't have to be complicated or overwhelming. It can be as simple as a clear vision and a faith that the vision can become real.

The book is short, but its message is eternal. You can read it in a very short sitting, but you can meditate on its meaning for hours. It is a teaching tale--it continues to grow in meaning once you include it in your own awareness of life.

The Land of I Can is suitable for almost any audience. It makes a great gift for yourself and for anyone you know who is setting out down the path for the first time or trying to get back on it for the umpteenth time.
