Summary: The one book that really changed my life
Review: I first picked this book up about 20 years ago just to see what kind of a silly book would have a title like that, but after reading just a couple of pages I realized that it actually contained some wisdom. After reading a few more pages I decided to buy it, and I can honestly say that it's been the single most helpful book I've ever read in my life. I've probably read it a dozen times since then and it's the one book that's actually changed my life. For anyone willing to make the effort, these methods truly do work, and you can start feeling the benefits almost immediately. One thing that may put off some readers is that it contains a few leftover 60's words like "groovy," but, if one can overlook that, the underlying message in valuable beyond words. Ken Keyes draws somewhat on Buddhist ideas and other philosophies (as he notes in the introduction), but only a genius could organize them into such a practical and usable system. This book has benefited me so much that I almost feel like it's my duty to write this review to recommend it to others as well.

Summary: You have all you need
Review: I read this book at a difficult time in my life, and in fact when I first opened the book I had to stop crying to read the words. After reading just a page or two, I felt a sense of calm come over me, and more pleasant feelings followed. I finished the book in three days, and enjoyed every minute of it. The book definitely had a powerful impact on my life. One point the book made that I always have dancing in my mind is: you always have everything you need to be happy.

Ken Keyes describes the human mind as a computer, and all human suffering is due to the programs we have in our mind. He then gives advice as to how to "re-program" your computer and always be "in" love. I highly recommend buying this book.

Summary: Simply, the best that ever was, or ever shall be .
Review: In 1972,a(real)friend casually dropped off the "Handbook" for me. Little did I know how it would cange my life,forever.I had read every self-help book I could get my hands on, but this one was and is like no other.This author not only shows "WHAT" is important in life, he reveals "HOW" to get there.Life is constantly "sending us messages we need for our growth",so here is a step by step procedure of how to,accept and Love unconditionaly,in our precious now moments. The twelve pathways are truly the work of a genius! Very few days go by that I do not fine comfort,joy and benefit in repeating their beautiful content.So If this books sells for anything less than one million dollars,buy it! It's worth a lot more than that. I have (casually) given away several cases...

Review: Ken Keyes explains how to live the life you really desire with out all the wasted effort. We use it in our MetaphorGolf.com teaching and our students have found it invaluable to get past the learning blocks they have to play Golf (and their LIFE) to the best of their ability and enjoy the process and results.
