5 comments about How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together.

1. I wish I'd had this book when my first marriage ran into trouble. My counselor at that time told me the marriage could be saved only if both persons were willing to work on it and that one person could not save it alone.
   The focus of this book is on developing fresh perspectives about the relationship, overcoming resentment, recapturing lost intimacy and solving major problems, one at a time. Don't give up without first trying these techniques.



2. I really didn't believe that I could change my relationship, by only working myself. Boy, did Susan Page show me I was wrong. Take note, this book is not for the lazy or the faint of heart. She has "exercises" that you must actually DO, many of which involve writing about yourself and your partner. She requires that you do some hard and sometimes painful analysis of your situation. It's not always easy, it's not always fun. But if you are willing to do the work, you will find that you CAN bring you and your spouse together.



3. If you are frustrated with not getting enough effort out of your partner when it comes to getting a derailed relationship back on track this book will help. I can't say it is the best written book ever, but the ways it tells you to cope and take charge are enough to make it a worthwile read.



4. What a relief it is to consider that you alone, without the cooperation or consent of your spouse, can work to improve the quality of your relationship...Wow! I found this book to be very empowering and uplifting...forcing me to focus on the good rather than the negative aspects of my relationship.
   
   This book has fabulous insight into the male versus female habits, needs, tendencies and desires. I consider myself to be an optimist and a spiritual person, and most relationship books just don't "fit", and usually bring me down. I definitely plan to read more by this author, and I hope my spouse will as well.
   
   When you read this book, make sure that you don't skip the "In Conclusion" section at the end...it brought me to tears, and truly put into words how I feel about my husband, and about life! We need to stop focusing on our problems and how to solve them, and just focus on the moment and the journey. Enjoy life...Begin now!



5. Like most others, I do feel this and other self-help books can be useful. However, the effectiveness really does depend on the state of your relationship, your partner's receptiveness and your own mindset at the time. I read this book and practiced much of what she instructed but it requires alot of work to simply change yourself, change your thoughts and your own behavior. Although I'm sure it can be rewarding when her advice works, it can be extremely frustrating when it doesn't, especially when you feel like you've been the one trying, working and giving in the relationship in the past. I ended up feeling as though I was repressing my own feelings, becoming relatively submissive and subservient and there was a blow-up when things didn't go as planned. It can be frustrating when over a period of time one person feels they are doing all the work. Not for the faint of heart - be warned it can backfire unless you have a receptive partner.

5 comments about The Science of Getting Rich: Attracting Financial Success through Creative Thought.

1. I have been reading similar books (including the secret), but as the little red start sticker says on the book "Secret beyond the secret" is true.
   I truly understood what Mr. Wattles talks about and this is the first time I really thought of it and said "AHA" thats how it works!
   Well worth the read, one of my favorite books I re-read every month!!!



2. Wallace Wattles wrote a great book in very simple language to assist us to create money. This book is very easy to read and understand and easy to apply in everyday life.



3. helpful but basically same info given by tons of books including the Secret which by the way has never been a secret.



4. This is a practical and ready to use book. The insight is great. This book summaries a lot of the knowledge I have been getting from different sources.



5. I purchased this book as a referral from 'The Secret'. While the premise is similar, it is harder to follow as to the steps. I understand what it is saying, it is harder to put into practice from the way it is written.

5 comments about Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing: The Last Self-Help Book You Will Ever Need.

1. I've been using energy tapping for several years. I went through two of Gary Craig's courses, then began buying books on the subject for further (and different) information. Gloria Arenson's book is simply the best. The reviews here cover most of what I was going to say, so I'll just add a paragraph.
   
   First, the author lays eveything out in a clear, friendly, useful way. Second, she gives helpful examples instead of miraculous case histories. Third, she makes difficult exercises palatable. For instance, I have a hard time sincerely declaring forgiveness for childhood abuse; it never feels honest. But Gloria Arenson, in this neat little book, gives the option of saying something like "My happiness and well-being are no longer dependent on my mother's approval," which is much easier for me to say than "I understand my mother did the best she could with what she knew, so I forgive her."
   
   Little things like this make Five Simple Steps unique. If you're interested in energy tapping, buy it! I ordered a copy for my husband so we can each brightline our own favorite information.



2. Having purchased and watched the DVDs from Gary Craig regarding the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), I was curious as to whether Ms. Arenson's book would bring any additional insights into applying it; it certainly did. I particularly liked the large number of real-world examples that she cites. If you are interested in a highly practical book about applying EFT to address all sorts of issues, I highly recommend this one.



3. After reading this book I finally feel confident enough to use EFT, or "Meridian Therapy" as the author prefers to call it, by myself! The book lays out the process in a very clear, concise and friendly manner. This is accomplished in the first 50 or so pages. (For instance, the locations of the tapping points are shown more clearly than I've seen anywhere else.)
   
   The rest of the book provides more in-depth examples and case studies, to assist in making it even more easy to understand the process.
   
   This book gives you more than the method; it also boosts your self-confidence so you more easily get started on the journey. Very strongly recommended!



4. I'd just like to echo the positive reviews. The author explains different types of Meridian therapies (I started with Gary Craig's EFT) and simplifies the process. It helped me to make sense out of the concepts and methods. Highly recommended and does not take long to read.



5. The idea is tapping the energy centers on our body balances/removes the negative energy around us.
   
   So, you think of the problem you'd like to get rid of, say an opposing affirmation you'd like to neutralize it with, then tap/rub the energy centers, and heal it away.
   
   Well, try it. I did, I felt better right away. It's a nice skill to learn. Teach it to your kids, to your friends, family, it's easy and so simple to do.
   
   To do it on animals, just imagine being your pet, and do the same process as your pet.
   
   Best with your healings!

5 comments about Change Your Mind And Your Life Will Follow: 12 Simple Principles.

1. Karen Casey has overcome some adversities in her life and she claims these are the 12 principles she has disccovered or, as she freely admits, rediscovered.
   
   The problem I have with the book is that it is, in many ways, a non-denominational religious tract. While I don't hold religious people in disdain, I myself am not religious. Thus the endless references to literally putting yourself in the hands of a "Higher Power" and allowing your life to be guided by said power don't do anything for me. Her core advice is sufficient: the invitation to simply "have faith" I think will actually harm some people who will come to believe that they merely need to believe that they will somehow be guided to make the right decisions, rather than invest the will and energy to change their own lives.
   
   I think Karen Casey does well at putting her message forth and that many people, especially those with religious beliefs, will find comfort, solace and encouragement in her words, even if I do not.
   
   Jerry



2. I like self help books but they often are too complex for my liking. This one is great! It is in plain simple english.
   I fully recommend it to anyone who wants to live a more peaceful life.



3. I originally bought this book for a friend who needed to take a new approach to her marriage. I found it so compelling as I breezed through the pages before wrapping it, that I kept it to read first! It's a lot like "The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People" in that it gives you simple (actionable) ways to find peaceful solutions to every kind of problem.



4. This book was given to me last Christmas and in 2007 I've given it to all my friends and all have in turn given to people in their lives. It has such a simple message of acceptance for oneself and that in turn allows tolerance of others. Everyone should have this book!



5. Some of the points in this book were good. I didn't mind the references to God or the 12 step program. What did bug me was that the author went on and on about keeping your nose out of other peoples business, even if its a friend who needs you.

5 comments about How to Study, 6th Edition.

1. Excellent principles of study in an easy-to-read format. When I graduated from high school my GPA hovered around 72. I graduated from college witha 3.87 GPA. This book changed my way of studying forever. I thank Ron for his inspiration and guidance. I still share my book with prospective students. In fact, my younger brother had failed an LPN course with the Army; I rushed him the book and told him to follow Ron's advice. I am proud to announce that my brother graduated at the top of his class and is now employed by a top hospital in NYC. He is only 20 years of age.

   Thanks, Ron!

   Sincerely,

   William at Headstart4@aol.com




2. great! if you need help w/ studying this book is the way to go.



3. I read this book many years ago (maybe it was the first or second edition) and it changed my style of studying forever. I was failing my pre-med courses when I found this book. I ended up getting A's in organic chemistry and applied calculus. This book should be required reading before undertaking any serious scholastic endeavor. This is the only book that doesn't disguise the effort that is required in learning - no magic tricks nor skills that only "special" students have - the ability is in all of us and Ron Fry shows you how.



4. love this book, and highly recommend it for anyone...received my order super-fast on regular delivery.



5. I learned most of these lessons the hard way.... years and years of studying the wrong way. Save yourself time and a GPA and take a look.

5 comments about The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling.

1. I chose not to finish the book, because I lost track what the message was supposed to be. I don't understand why authors decide to fill hundreds of pages and the quintessence is missing, instead of keeping it lean and to the point. Less can be more, but maybe the conclusion was revealed after I stopped reading......



2. A memorable book offering concepts that inspire and empower. I love the notion of a daimon that we carry within each of us. It brings awareness on nurturing our own greatest potential as well as those in the youth around us.



3. Hillman is a provocative author with many keen insights, but not unlike many psychologists in the Jungian tradition, he cannot refrain from the use of Myths. I deliberately capitalized the word Myth, because it more often than not is the problem, not the resource to resolution. Don't misunderstand me! Myths have figured heavily in all civilizations for their power to "see" something that is often otherwise not apparent. Moreover, myths are the backbone of civilizing humanity, telling stories, usually morality tales, that provide an insight that more direct discourse and narrative cannot capture. These Myths have a limited use, primarily for children, whose immaginations are charged by the peculiarity of the story, and through that peculiarity perceive a "truth" about life. Aesop's fables are perhaps paradigmatic, but other Myths exist too.
   
   But as we enter the 21st C., isn't it time to limit the use of Myths for their pedagogical uses with children, and strip our adult minds of those Myths that have taken hold and twisted our sense of things. The most notable Myth in Western Civilization has been the Bible. The ironic twist about these particular Myths is that they are no longer pedagogical, but have become polemical. And I am far from confident that most of those Myths are innocent or benign. They no longer tell a story or morality tale, but in many people have become the Standard by which to measure all of life. And because the Myth transforms into religion, it often takes hold of people as though the stories are literally true, rather than metaphorically provocative. Instead of understanding a God of love and compassion, one encounters Yahweh whose jealousy and wrath are staples. And instead of perceiving "God" as the Energy that pervades the universe, its conception is of an anthropromorphic Deity, who caps things off by becoming human.
   
   The point of all this is that Myths that go beyond mere stories and are transformed into "reality," often cause more damage than good. This is true both for the individual who maps out the world not as it is, but how a nomadic tribe millennia ago saw things. New tribes have arisen, but they tell the same unintelligible Myths. People even go to war over these Myths.
   
   Thus, Hillman's use of the "acorn" is nowhere near that kind of Myth, but it perpetuates the Myth that only metaphors and stories can explain ourselves. So one Myth is substituted for another, denying all coherence to ourselves and others. That's what Myths do. And so we delude ourselves into thinking that only another Myth can overcome previous ones. At some point, we have to stop the endless progression of Myths and grab onto reality and face it head on. Myths not only do not do that, they prevent that from happening by their very nature.
   
   Hillman's use of Myth is meant to be a "tool," but like many a tool it often becomes part of some larger apparatus like the person who uses it. Saint Paul said when he became an adult he put away childish things. And I suggest that using one Myth to see ourselves out of another Myth still keeps us in Myths. We persist in using childish tools, when only adult ones ultimately work. What was originally only a vehicle for insight inheres to our being and becomes the prism through which we view life. Hillman's "acorn" Myth is definitely useful, but as adults it's time to put away childish tools and start confronting life as adults. Instead of trying to "see" ourselves as we are, and for who we are, we hoist a new Myth to take on for changing our perception. We "see" the world through "Jungian" glasses, for example, rather than through the ones we should have formed.
   
   At its most challenging reward, introspection and self-analysis require we face ourselves as we are, stripped of all the stories we have adopted as "our life." Only then can we find what we are searching for, and then begin to make sense of it.



4. After reading Moore's "Care of the Soul," I decided to move on to his teacher, James Hillman. And I am glad I did.
   
   This book gave me pause to conduct my own personal "archetypal autobiography," an exercise that has utterly transformed my life. Hillman's insights into the forces that move and motivate us have helped me as a man, as a father, and as a scholar.
   
   I had my own copy bound in leather and I refer to it periodically -- when trends and events in my my life require archetypal realignment, when my soul needs grooming, and when I need the kind of perspective that shows me how I can gracefully my past into my present, and thence to the future.
   
   It is a subtle and sophisticated set of arguments, not for the feint of mind.
   
   Flip to his presentation of Plato's myth of Er (pp. 7-9 and 44-47) to capture a sense of Hillman's expansive wisdom.



5. This book gives a fascinating exposition of the theories of James Hillman and provides a metaphysic of life that everyone can benefit from. Life experiences of several people are given to illustrate his points. Hillman gives in ordinary language what Crowley spent thousands of words explaining.

5 comments about Emotional Unavailability : Recognizing It, Understanding It, and Avoiding Its Trap.

1. This is a great book, and I wish the author would update it based on more recent research. I think all of us can find ourselves in this book in part.
   
   But in chapter 17, where the author says the emotionally unavailable partner drifts through relationships, & when they get too uncomfortable, they leave, he's not up on current research, and also contradicts himself. Think about it: If the point of players, blamers, & fixers are to control the relationship, why would they leave? It works for them!! They have all the power. It is the person who attempts to work with, cooperate, and "goes along to get along" with the emotionally unavailable person that finally comes to their senses, realizes they can not "fix" the unavailable person, and then leaves. At which the unavailable person becomes hugely distraut that the leaver is the one with the problems: "Your father had a mid-life crises, and abandoned the family!!" "No mom, he abandoned you, not me, when you blamed him." Or if someone is the victim of the "fixer" they withdraw quietly, and stop telling them what's going on their lives. Fixers & Blamers do not "drift", they are actively over-involved in their relationships. My suspicion is that the author at some time was left or abandoned in a relationship. I'm guessing he's a blamer, or since he does seem altuistic, a fixer.
   
   Great books to read on this are Uncoupling: Turning Points in Intimate Relationships and Crazy Time: Surviving Divorce and Building a New Life, Revised Edition.
   
   If you want to help others, and are a fixer, then a good read is I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better.
   
   For the reviewer who's partner rated himself as "glad" but rejects her from the party, that's a player. Wonderful charming, too busy for her but needs plenty of breathing space. Emotionally connects by arguments. Feels drowned by "needy" people. This is not emotional unavailability as much as a personality type (SPs on Myers Briggs) who can't ask for the autonomy & breathing space they need. Books to read are True Loves: Finding the Soul in Relationships (out of print? Read about the Mercurial Lover) and Survival Games Personalities Play - Check out the game "Blackmail" or "Uproar."



2. In an easy-to-read format, complete with boldface subheadings, short chapters, interesting client stories, and summary boxes, Collins helps us heal from bad relationships. This concepts in this book can even be applied to people have problems with emotionally unavailable parents.
   
   First, we learn about the different types of emotionally unavailable people. (I've dated Romeos, Mama's Boys, and Slippery Critters.) After a comprehensive background on feelings vs. emotions, Collins delves a little deeper into the problematic relationships with emotionally unavailable people. We even learn about emotionally unavailable parents! Finally, we're given tools to use in decoding emotionally unavailable people and defending ourselves in such relationships.
   
   Collins offers "explanations" not "excuses".
   
   Collins teaches us about the Gray Zone. From p. 46, " Emotionally unavailable people have almost completely lost touch with their emotions. ... People who suffer temporary disconnection eventually recover their feelings bit by bit. Emotionally unavailable people come from another perspective entirely: the Gray Zone." Also, "The Gray Zone has its origin in childhood experiences. People who are in the Gray Zone learned not to trust their emotions in childhood; consequently, they have trouble makinh emotional connections in their adult lives" (pp. 46- 47). How do people in the Gray Zone live? They "do feel some emotions, but only the really big ones. Great highs and deep lows. No love, only passions. Not irritations, only rage. No sadness, only despair" (p. 47).
   
   Collins is not a 12-step counselor and does not freely throw around the word "addiction". (The 12-steps do not work for everyone, and from what she says, I now understand the reason.) From pahe 18, " ...I do not subscribe to the current theory that everything is an addiction, a model that dominates a lot of therapeautic approaches. I believe addiction should have a very narrow definition, which only includes physical dependence on a substance. I do not believe a person's negative choices or behavioral responses to his or her experiential history constitute an addiction." Also, "I believe oeioke become addicited to addictive substances..., but I don't believe people become addicted to behaviors (sex, gambling, shopping, etc.)" p. 161.
   
   And, Collins should be commended for not throwing around the pop-psych term "dysfinctional". She gives us a working definition, as well as cautionary advice about using it to describe every family situation.
   
   I recommend this book for anyone who needs to heal from emotionally unavailable relationships. I even saw some of my former friends in the Daddy's Girl description, and so I gave my closure regarding those friendships. I am happily married, but I needed to heal from my past relationships. This book was just what I needed!!!



3. I stumbled on this little book by accident. Since reading it (over and over again)and absorbing its basic messages, I make a point of referring it to friends as a very good place to begin the journey away from hurtful, toxic relationships. Its simple approach to a very big topic allows those of us who were not schooled in psychology to grasp the nuances of hard-wired behaviors that prevent some people from really connecting with others in a healthy manner. I was able to finally understand that sophistocated, polite or ardent behavior can mask emotional unavailability in the courting phase of a relationship, and that these behaviors should not signal the end of one's inquiry into whether an individual is relationship material - quite to the contrary... they should be a red flag to go slow and dig deeper. I keep this book by my bedside and pull it out often. It has value not only with regard to love relationships, but with work and familial relationships as well. Its a winner for me and I recommend it highly.



4. I think this is a good book but it's a bit more technical or involved than the last one I read.



5. Being in an emotionally unavailable relationship myself, this book jumped out at me and has kept me glued to the pages since. It is very well written - flowing nice & easy to understand. I found MANY "ah-ha's!" and she has helped me see things clearly and put so many things into perspective. Collins has definitely helped me recognize and understand the patterns and types of people that has no doubt become a huge step in my growth as a person and in relationships. I recommend this book to ANYone, especially if you are in a relationship where you are constantly left feeling confused.

5 comments about The Art of Exceptional Living.

1. I have read and listened to a number of programs of a similar variety over the years however this particular CD stands out for its enduring value. I originally picked this up about 9 years ago and the lessons have stayed with me.
   
   Yes, the material is common sense, yes, there is nothing new here however, there is something unique in the delivery that over time somehow triggers behavior and thought in such a way as to enable a person to make decisions by employing some perspective towards their personal philosophy and the congruence of their thought and action, at least in my personal experience. In other words one should be more personally conscientious of ones behavior and exercise discretion with a view to cause and effect. While this is not an epiphany, the discipline itself is difficult to instill.
   
   One of the most significant habits that I picked up from the lesssons, is posing a relapsing question concerning my career, "Don't ask what you're getting here, ask what you are becoming." This simple admonition, has enabled me to break the spell of being stuck in a career rut and advancing towards professional fulfillment. The other habit that I picked up is the use of a journal, which it turns out is a typical accessory to be found with all seriously successful people. And while carrying a notebook or writing in it will not by itself make you succesful, the way in which Rohn demonstrates its use will encourage a similar use, and I can attest to the value from that. Primarily, it will enable one to uncover their personal philosophy through active introspection, and change as necessary/desired.
   
   Much of what is passed off as personal development is really emotional fast food. I attended a conference some months ago (client invitation) with a long list of motivational speakers, and I took many notes. The central theme in the end turned out to be that success was really a function of your self-esteem.
   
   As I looked around at the stadium filled with fired-up sales people, "entrepreneurs" and other motivational spectators/tourists and caught their reactions, it dawned on me that these were the neediest people I had ever seen. Not only did they expect to be entertained, they wanted someone else to motivate them and then, be told by the most obliging motivator that they were great because they came to get motivated! What is my point? If you are looking for motivation outside of yourself, there is an automatic admission that you by yourself don't have it to begin with, and if this is the case, you have already lost. The reviewers here providing low ratings for this product on the basis of the speakers voice and repetition remind me of the audience of the aforementioned event, insufficiently entertained, they fault the speaker without consideration for the content. Grow up.
   
   Back to the CD.
   
   There are common sense lessons here that are not part of an academic curriculum or on-the-job training. The information contained in the CD comprise wisdom that only accomplished people will fully understand by way of thier own experience. Jim Rohn being one such individual (not a motivational speaker by trade) imparts his lessons learned for an audience that is genuinely interested to put forth the hard work while suspending their skepticism. It is only by these two conditions 1) Sincere Diligence and 2) Faith in oneself, that one can transcend the limitations of their ignorance and advance in life. Discipline comes down to practice, and there are many practices contained in these lectures, the rest is up to you.



2. I loved the CD The Art of Exceptional Living, it's a really good teaching tool. If you like Jim Rohn, then you will benefit from listening to this CD.



3. No matter who you want to talk about in the self improvement/motivation game, Jack Canfield, Zig Zigler, Andy Andrews, Brian Tracy, Anthony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey, you name it, the message is pretty much the same. That is, some derivative of the timeless lessons of Napoleon Hill. The only real difference to speak of is in the delivery. The better the speaker delivers his message, the more they connect with the listener, the more you will glean from the message.
   
   Jim Rohn is one of the best at delivering his message. I would rate him at the very top along with Andy Andrews, but I suppose everyone has certain things they relate well to. THE ART OF EXCEPTIONAL LIVING is one of my favorite CD's. I didn't realize until I starting writing this review that what I have is the 2-CD abridged version. There is also a 6-CD version.
   
   Reading is my thing. I try to read a couple of book per week, but you can't always do that. This is a fantastic CD set to listen to on your way to the office. It seems like every time I listen to this on my way in, I get more done that day.



4. Heard THE ART OF EXECPTIONAL LIVING, written and
   read by Jim Rohn.
   
   He is one of the nation's top motivational speakers . . . and
   though I've heard other books by him, I never get tired of
   his pragmatic approach . . . such as when he says, the
   key to life is not doing exceptional things at all . . . just do
   ordinary things exceptionally well.
   
   Rohn bases much of what he advises on his own
   personal experiences . . . this made it possible to relate
   to what he had to say, in that he has had his share
   of failures--most of which taught him along the way.
   
   Though some of the material may seem basic, I found
   myself nodding in agreement when I heard such valuable tidbits
   of information as the following:
   
   * Learn to work harder on your self than on your job.
   
   * If you wish to be successful, study success. If you wish to be
   happy, study success. If you wish to be wealthy, study wealth.
   
   * You may not be able to do all you find out, but make sure
   you find out all you can do.
   
   * It's not what happens that determines your future, it's what you
   do about it.
   
   * Everybody has to be good at either of two things: Planting in
   the spring or begging in the fall.
   
   And, lastly, I smiled at many of Rohn's definitions--such as this one:
   
   * Failure: A few errors in judgement, repeated every day.



5. Essentially this is a compilation of highlights from a life Jim Rohn presentation. I REALLY liked it, not because there was anything novel... but because he provides solid examples with entertaining stories to back them up. I don't listen to the radio anymore, but use products like these to pump positive information into my mind, body and soul. It is light yet has an amazing impact on your attitude! Plus, it is not overly lengthy and you don't feel obligated to write anything down. Repeated passive (and ACTIVE!) listening goes a long way to absorbing these priceless lessons!

5 comments about Making Your Thoughts Work For You 4-CD Live Lecture.

1. Huge fan of Dr. Dyer. I was disappointed in this cd with Byron Katie, however. Scattered delivery and I hate to say it but it was pretty boring. I'll continue to buy Dr. Dyer's work.



2. I got taken in by Byron Katie's "work", used to think it was great. It seemed to "work" in the beginning. Over time I started finding holes in it. Bigger and bigger holes. Then I did some internet research and learned that people have been reporting big problems with Byron Katie and her method. I've come to agree that she's full of it.
   
   Under NO circumstances do I recommend taking a seminar with this woman. I urge you to do a search for "Byron Katie" and "cult" and evaluate the info that's been coming out about her.
   
   As an alternative source of self-help, I recommend "Authentic Happiness" by Martin Seligman. I've found it incredibly helpful and completely without harmful side-effects, unlike what I ended up experiencing with Byron Katie and her bogus "work".



3. Byron Katie can only be described as an incredible person. The lecture can only be described as amazing!



4. Dr Dyer's segment was great, but Byron Katie is hard to follow if you don't already know her work. This would be better if it included a copy of the handout that she refers to in her talk.



5. The combination of both these very insightful and encourging people can not help but inspire you to bring more peace and harmony into your life. The techniques suggested and actual live interviews include many facets of today's struggles that may be causing some harmful negative thoughts in our lives and this audio helped me uncover those thoughts and question them. The Work that Byron Katie provides with her 4 questions and turn arounds helps you to discover a peace within yourself by just using this simple method of asking yourself "is it true?". I can not express enough the difference this audio has made in my life.

5 comments about The Psychology Of Selling: The Art of Closing Sales.

1. I found the CD's to be motivating and found a few long forgotten tidbits.



2. Having listened to this CD now 3 times I am amazed at it's challenge to my belief on how much I am worth. This CD dramatically challenged me to lift the lid on my own expectations with my earnings.
   
   You truly do only earn what you think you are worth, and I have already now made plans to increase my earning capacity in the next year by at least 100%.



3. He says something as if it is in "quotation marks," in EVERY sentence. Who talks like that? Gets to be distracting.
   
   Also, he references "study after study" frequently, but I would love to hear him cite a study.
   
   My main gripe with him is his speaking habit of quoting one-third to one-half of each sentence. You'll know what I mean when you listen to him speak about ANYTHING. No other speaker does this.



4. I throughourly recommend this audio cd, anyone in any form of sales related role should have this. It's perfect for listening to in the car. Brian Tracys voice and the material he delivers is superb.
   I became aware of many methodologies that have been used on me in the past and have adopted many helpful techniques.



5. This is a great way to get over some of the hang ups we have about selling to people. It is great to listen to over and over to get the suggestions in your head so you can use them to help you get more sales and make more money.
