This should be required reading for everyone. It's amazing how thought patterns can influence our health. This has really helped in revealing something that's under everyone's noses! This book was entertaining and also so informative.

Excellent book describing how the words that we use to describe ourselves and our circumstances affect the state of our health. The are ample examples of how our words and illnesses are linked. I have recommended this book to friends, family and all who have expressed to me a desire for better health.

A wonderful guide to using your mind to optimize your health and your life. Overview of holistic practices to enhance health and overcome illness. I read and reread this book to remind myself that my mind is intimately linked to my body and that I have much more control than is generally believed. This book has helped me onto the path for recovery from chronic health problems.

The idea that possitive thoughts and words can improve our health is a great premise, however this book goes too far in the examples of every type of ill stemming from what you say. The book is repetative and rather far fetched in the examples of the authors multiple ills. One chapter would have been enough. A group of us were reading this book together and we voted to drop the book after chapter 4. The vote was 12 to 0!

I have read Ms. Levine's book - in first and second editions. I was honored to have Barb share her first edition with me while it was still in it's rough state. If you are looking for a book by an author who tries her darndest to practice what she preaches/writes - then this book is for you.

There is much more to this book than meets the eye. It is an important guidebook for life. If we look back over our life we will see that many problems were caused by misplaced words. Words expressed at the wrong time in the wrong way. If we look honestly it becomes apparent that through our expression, we help chart our course in life. We KNOW the words we speak are important. However, Barbara Levine gives us graphic examples of just how important they really are. How they affect our physical, mental and spiritual health. This book is more than just a study, it is a practical workbook toward greater awareness. If we apply the techniques in this book we will become more conscious of everything we say, and everything we do. We will become people who speak and act from a position of strength, rather than ones who react hastily from a position of weakness. It is a guidebook towards self-mastery, and therefore an important book for everyone's bookshelf.
