I rarely send in reviews for the books I have read, but if I can help anyone save their hard earned money from being wasted on this horrible book I am happy to do so. The only message you will pick up from this book is - everything is the fault of your parents. Useless and untrue. I wish I could give this book a minus rating becasue that is what it deserves.

many people have commented on the 5 star reviews which look like fakes planted to raise the star rating of this book. AMAZON, WHERE ARE YOU? CAN YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE NUMEROUS SUSPICIOUS ENTIRELY FAVOURABLE REVIEWS! THANK YOU.

Wow, this book is writen in an intensly negative manner. It will tell you (supposedly) why you have these issues and make it clear that you have issues, and that's as far as it gets. It focuses ONLY on your childhood exsperieces and saying that you were not raised properly and then leaves you hanging. Nevermind that I truley think that a good handful of the "your childhood's to blame" hypothesises are crap, even if they are the reason, this book tells you absolutly no way to counter act those feelings. I buy books alllll the time and rarely felt like I have wasted my money as I get at least something out of it. Well, this is the first book that I feel like I've wasted my money on. Heck, I have a bodyways book I just picked up that are helping me much more deal with my emotions then this book does. Gah!!

This book taught me a lot about myself. It's worth buying.

The Peipers give a psycholgical account on presence. They are talking about the same things that people like Eckhart Tolle and Pema chodron talk about but they put their own physicians slant on it which I guess can be OK. All paths lead to Rome.
It's just a different color sign post.

Though one thing that really irritaes me is that they mention in this book that when their patients start to cancel appointments it means they are avoiding their healing.
I have to say that this is more a maniplation and power play of therapists than anything else.

The thing that puts this book on a lower level than that of Tolle and Chodron, is the they claim that people need them as opposed to their own presence and God. Though I'm sure it will reach the right people
