Rating:  Summary: Immensly uplifting and worthwhile! Review: 'End the Struggle and Dance with Life' was read by several of my relatives after I completed it, and I noticed a change within them also. It really is a very uplifting, positive and proactive book, which helps to guide readers to a more positive, happy and furfilling life.I found it positively refreshing and wonderful, and feel myself change occuring as a result. The only thing I did wrong was borrow it from a library, hence I am unable to refrence back to it when life gets me down as it no doubt will. The only problems I see within this book, as it fades away in the ending a little, and I didn't fully comprehend the idea of lower and higher selves, though this is through my only lack of understanding rather than the book itself. Wonderful quotes, wondefully uplifting, a wonderful read in whole.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: I have read and highly appreciated two of Jeffers previous books: "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway", and "Dare to Connect". I would give both of those books 5 stars. Unfortunately, as good as Dare to Connect is, it remains out of print and, I believe, this was the motivating force behind writing End the Struggle. It is basically a merging of the two books, yet it does not seem to have the energy and intensity, often coming off a bit naive or pollyannaish. For me, it was just a review of what I'd read in the previous two books and therefore of little value. It's not fair for me to rate it lower on that alone, however. No, it's lower energy combined with the publisher's trick of reintroducing "Dare to Connect" principles (which is available online used) is what bothered me. We see this a lot. An author writes another book that is basically a rehash of another, or tries to present the same views a little differently just so the public will think it's a "new" book.

Rating:  Summary: this book is incredible! Review: I just finished End the Struggle and Dance with Life and I'm going to start at the beginning and read it again and again. Susan Jeffers writes so plainly and to the heart...it seems like she is writing just to me but it will seem that way to you. I couldn't put it down! I can't belive how helpful it is. I usually don't get through self-help books but this one is so amazing and incredible!
Rating:  Summary: Great tools for my life Review: I really liked this book because the ideas inside have given me a new lens to look at the world with, other ideas that help to center and feel more grounded in life. Even close friends have said I have changed since reading this book.
Rating:  Summary: It opens your mind and lets you know you're not alone Review: I'm not really one for reading self-help books, but I picked this one up because I realized I was becoming a fearfull person. This book shows you the reasoning behind things you do and don't do all because of your fears. I highly recommend this book for both those who know they have fear problems, and those who don't think so. I think all of you will be suprised by what you find.
Rating:  Summary: A Diamond in a sea of Zircons Review: Susan Jeffers is an incredibly gifted and creative writer. This book has, to spout the usual cliche, changed my life. Coupled with Embracing Uncertainty it has the power to bring clarity to the most confused and troubled psyche but more importantly to spur you on to greater efforts at achieving peace and wonder in a tough world. This is a spiritual text and her message is a consistent spiritual one. A very beautiful and loving and sustaining book. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: Prozac for the Soul.. Review: This book takes you on a wonderful journey. Jeffers' words are immensely uplifting and transforming. You will gain immense insight into yourself, what you are doing that is making you unhappy, and what you can do to make yourself happier. This opened up a whole new world for me, philosophically speaking, and I can now look at life with a more positive slant. I enjoyed all the quotes she included, as well as the dozens of apt analogies and affirmations. As a bonus, it is chock full of suggestions for further exploration and contemplation. Don't wait - it is an easy and delightful read.
Rating:  Summary: It opens your mind and lets you know you're not alone Review: This is a most wonderful book. It is better than Prozac and without any side effects! should be available on prescription from your doctor and made compulsory reading / listening for anyone over 16. Get it.
Rating:  Summary: A Treasure! Review: This is a truly wonderful book. I cannot recommend it enough! The wisdom held within its pages is invaluable to human society as a whole. Susan Jeffers is a beautiful person and her simple, honest writing style communicates this. I think we should add this book as an Amendment to the Constitution! Truly magnificent! --Kelly Magovern
