Wonderfully written. I lost my wife last November and this book has helped me greatly to stay on the road of healing. I would recommend it to all Lover's out there.

I've read many books since my husband died. This book is at the top of the list. I found it on a shelf in a small book store while visiting relatives. Now I give it as a gift to others as the author gave it as a gift to his spouse. The messages are universal, the words are personal.

All I can say is wow!, what an incredible book. We have had problems with our 22 year old daughter for years and this book has really helped put things into perspective. Understanding family of origin has made us realize why. This is really not a book review, but a testimonial that this book has really helped our family. We wish it had been out many more years ago. However, we were hoping to get a copy for our grown daughter, but it is out of print. I can't believe that! I hope "Learning to Say No, Establishing Healthy Bounderies" will be printed again (and again and again). It is a worthwhile book that everyone should read.

For those trapped in family origin of codependence, you really need to read this book. My eyes were opened for the first time. I found that the book had to be read in segments because, I had to deal with many unresolve issues as I read the book. The author did an excellent job of presenting the information. I only wish I could order more books for my family. Hopefully the book will be republished soon. I have tried to order at least three books, have loaned mine to several people, and feel it is the most amazing book. I have been freed.

A certain dry humour makes the book very readable. The description of social pressures in learning to lie, and animal world comparisons, are a useful perspective. The central theme - the danger of lying to oneself, or self deception - is of great importance in working in any large organisation. I would prescribe it as essential reading for managers and directors of most modern organisations Many readers may lack the objectivity to appreciate and believe the reports contained in the book, though they are well researched and well documented. I hope the next edition may spend more time in coping with lies. There are 13 pages in this book on therapeutic approaches toward the deceitful person. The comments on "groupthink", which involves bias of group behaviour, could also be expanded in future editions, with comments on the efficacy of countermeasures.

Straightforward. Well written and referenced. A very well laid out book with excellent references for further study on the subject. I gained a great appreciation for the psychological causes of lying. Highly recommended.

Mr Haddock explains in details how to fully ultilize your will power to achieve your goal. As a student of success philosophy, I think that this book is a good addition to the existing literature. I will always come back to this book for a deeper study.

I've only read about 120 pages so far, but this is one book I have a hard time putting down. As with most books I've read which were written around this time, Power of Will uses a lot of theatrics. I assume writers wrote in a much more descriptive fashion before the days of modern media. The first chapter seemed a little deep, but as I read on it seemed easier to assimilate. I can't tell you exactly why, but old books such as this seem to draw me in. The point of the book is: By gaining self-discipline (will-power) anything we want to accomplish will be much more possible and probable. I would compare this book with Law of Success (Napoleon Hill), Pushing to the Front (Orrison Swett Marden)and, The Master Key System (Charles F. Haanel). As I've said, read this book!

My wife and I used Praying God's Will For My Son to help us pray for our adopted children even before they came to the US. It helped us bless them and increased our bonding with them.

One of our favorite prayers was "We pray that neither death nor life, nor angels or principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate our son from the love of you God, which is in Christ Jesus, his Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)

This book is a wonderful tool to use during prayer time. It is divided into short chapters addressing different topics (anger, attitude, fear, etc) Each chapter contains several short scriptural prayers related to the topic. It has been a beneficial and uplifting and encouraging book to use.

I met Shaykh Taner this past weekend. It was my first real exposure to Sufism. The perspective offered by Shaykh Taner is wonderfully down-to-earth. I have spent the past 15 years of my life building my own understanding of "the truth" as I perceived it and based on my own experiences. Shaykh Taner's explanation of his beliefs was so close to my own that it was breathtaking. I don't foresee myself ever becoming a practicing Muslim. But I found a lot of truth in the Islamic principles as Shaykh Taner explained them. I will always value the time I spent with Shaykh Taner and I look forward to spending more time with him in the future.

After talking with him, I had to purchase the book. I wanted to be able to sit down and take an in-depth look at what this man has to say. I am now about 1/3 of the way through the book and am still finding it to be both enjoyable and enlightening. After having met many close-minded "holy men", Shaykh Taner's openness (and open-mindedness) is refreshing. In the several hours I was with him, I never got the impression that he was trying to "convert" me. He was simply sharing the truth as he perceives it (in his words, "as he has recevied it from Allah"). He lays it on the table. Whether we pick it up or not is entirely up to us and he makes no judgements on our choice (that is up to Allah).

He's not a man who's been cloistered and hidden from reality. He has lived in and survived dangerous times. He explains things from a perspective which is firmly rooted in reality.

"Enlightening" is the only way I can describe the information he passed on in person and in this book. It's not as if he's trying to persuade people to see things his way ... he simply shines a light on what is and leaves it up to the individual to accept it or deny it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone ... regardless of their religious background. Whether you accept it or not, it will definitely make you think.

Sincerely, Mike

In The Sun Will Rise In The West: The Holy Trail, Shaykh Taner Ansari dispels common myths and presents Sufism as a modern day reality. It presents an unprecedented, truly comprehensive written exposition of Sufism's core teachings in English and is written in a style that is accessible to Americans. Previously this body of knowledge remained either hidden within the oral teachings of the order or locked inside rare Turkish or Arabic texts, never before translated into English. Shaykh Taner's book provides American readers with a unique opportunity to gain a fresh view of the basis of the Islamic faith told from the Sufi perspective.

The Sun Will Rise In The West offers a thought provoking compendium of the entire system of Sufi knowledge, including the larger cosmological perspective. It describes the Sufi understanding of the structure of the universe, the relationship between matter and energy and the Sufi theory of consciousness. The book provides numerous examples and comparisons between Sufism and other knowledge systems such as physics, energy medicine and the Kabbalah. The material is well written and told with a lively sense of humor.

This is a great system, and has all the necessary paperwork to get you started. You might want to check out QVC.com, they have this same package plus a storage component, and other QVC exclusives, it is well worth the extra [$$$]. it helps you store everything in one place. Remeber Suze designed this system for QVC, you will get much more bang for your buck there.

* Wow. All I can say is I've been looking for years for something to handle and organize all of my unfinished financial strings & ties & lack or planning; and this seems to be it!

It's a guide to doing your will, trust, etc: plus handling whatever money you do have to help you finally save, or save more efficiently or just with less stress: NICE.

This tool will give you: Your life without all those daily thoughts of panic, sadness or fear regarding money: do what you want: USE This tool to get there: and then, you won't have all those nagging money "to do's" on your mind every day! Hip hip Hooray! Thanks Suze Orman!

All the necessary forms were done by Suze's lawyer for her and are on the CD-Rom in the protection portfolio kit! COOL> Very Nice.

I was feeling lost and knew I had to make some changes but didn't know what to do. This book gave me a whole new outlook on life, myself and my relationships. It was straight-forward and easy to understand. I'm so thankful that a friend told me about Therapy In A Nutshell. AWESOME BOOK!

I found this book to be a quick and easy read that was loaded with useful information. I improved my relationship and felt much more positive about myself. I wish I had found this book 10 years ago, I'm sure my life would be different now if I had.

This book was compiled at the dawn of the Promise Keepers movement. Therefore it's well known "Seven Promises" are still tweleve promises, having not yet coalesced into it's present form. Each chapter comprises one of the twelve promises, and is subdivided into three to seven small articles by writers such as Bill McCartney, Wellington Boone, Charles Stanley, and Jerry Jenkins to name just a few. The promises cover all aspects of a Christian man's life as deemed important by the Promise Keepers. They include your relationships with your wife, children, God, church, brothers in Christ, neighbors, and world to again name just a few. The format of short articles, some only one page, allows for easy reading as part of a morning devotional time. Even though the book is approching it's tenth anniversary, its teachings and the advice offered within are still very applicable to the man seeking Christlike character.

chapter 1 what are promises/ /chapter 2 the promises you make to God/ /chapter 3 the promises you make to yourself/ /chapter 4 the promises you make to your wife/ /chapter 5 the promises you make to your family/ /chapter 6 the promises you make to your parents/ /chapter 7 the promided you make to your friends/ /chapter 8 the promises you make to worship and fellowship/ /chapter 9 the promises you make to your work/ /chapter 10 the promises you make to your neighbors and community/ /chapter 11 the promises you make to those in need/ /chapter 12 the promises you make to the future/chapter 13 practicing learned hopefulness

This is a really helpful book; I've read numerous self-help books, and this one is way above average. It speaks the truth, and it makes a lot of sense.

This is awonderful book. It speaks so many truths. It amazes me that it has not received greater attention. I have read Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dwyer and many other self-help authors that promise the sky. This book's claims are more modest but its message is, I think, more honest and enduring. The book's premise is that instead of forcing ourselves to "be something" we should learn to find out who we really are and educate ourselves to appreciate what we find. Parodoxically, this may be the real path to a joyful life that other authors claim is their destination. In short the book represents an excellent manifesto for the joys of self-appreciation and self-discovery.(Okay so that wasn't that short.)The author is very convincing in showing that there is usually a very good reason why we behave the way we do. I have never read a book that so effectively taught one how to be compassionate to oneself. Wow! I am convinced that we would live in better world if more people truly

grocked the book's message. I have never read a more reassuring, sensible and truthful book. The author, Lynne Bernfield must be an awesome therapist!
