Rating:  Summary: Buyers Beware Review: While Dr. Jampolsky means well with this book, to truly transform and free ones mind from the shortcomings and internal struggles is to ask why it should be done in the first place. When the problem is apparent and the will to search for real solutions is established, the ultimate question is how to come to terms with ones mortality. Whatever the religious background maybe, I strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practices. Recognizing the true nature of ones mind and the true nature of ones emotions has a potential to truly make you and everybody around genuinely happy. Discovering spirituality and ones true place on this plan is never an easy task, the follow book will be of much help: 1. "Meditation in Action" by Chogyam Trungpa 2. "Words of My Perfect Teacher" (Sacred Literature Series) 3. "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche, to name a few (first look for them at your local library) The reason I recommend the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism is because it cut through the superficial right to the real matter at hand. Learning from the source will yield greatest benefits. Final caveat, until you find the authentic teacher/mentor be cautious of people that offer instant results or try to reel you in.
