5.0 out of 5 stars Changing self limiting beliefs, October 17, 2002

By	"lb13929" (Iowa) - See all my reviews

Travelling Free is a book that provides 12 written exercises for you to systematically find out what old patterns or beliefs are running your life and causing unhappiness.
I take out a pen and paper with each chapter and find myself getting happier. The tried and true questions and exercises are taken from the author's 20 years of experience working with people privately and in workshops around the country.
This book has a freshness to it and before you realize it, you're actually shedding emotional baggage so you really can travel free.
My well worn copy of this book has stayed by my bedside for 10 years and I sleep peacefully because of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let Experience Be Your Guide, February 3, 2002

By	Steve McCabe (Park Forest, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Travelling Free is a modest little gem packed with a wealth of rich information. In a day of abundant self-help books, this one could go unnoticed in its rather unassuming package. However, for anyone really interested in "doing the work" of releasing the emotional weight that binds us, this is a treasure. Mandy shares with you a host of experiential exercises, that if followed provides the reader with invaluable personal information. Her work is deep and insightful, coming from the wisdom of long experience. In her casual, yet profound style she provides us with a clear pathway to exploring the inner landscape of our self-defeating beliefs, and equips us with the tools to change them.
If you're serious about change, don't overlook this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Breakthrough In Recovery Books, December 1, 2001

By	Debra Lux (Encinitas, CA USA) - See all my reviews

A must read for anyone involved in the recovery field. As a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I have read numerous books that are valuable and inspiring, but that frequently seem to be saying the same thing in only a slightly different way. TRAVELLING FREE, however brings readers to examine their past in a new and indeed freeing way so they can gain understanding and most importantly, move on! This is the most helpful book I've read and recommended to clients; it enables them to move through self-defeating belief systems that have been holding them back.
