Summary: Transends your daily life into a journey of enlightenment!
Review: Ken Keyes explains things in lucid detail as the reader is engrossed by the book and then by ones own life. This book
is a must for anyone over coming depression or problems within their life, or wants to begin their journey to enlightenment. This book can be considered as an aid to find
true happiness and should be greatly considered by anyone
feeling as if there's more to life...
I personally was compulsed to read this book over and over.

Summary: Living Love will add immense joy and meaning to your life.
Review: Like another reviewer, my original copy from 1974 is taped, annotated, and much loved. Like other reviewers, I have given away numerous copies. If you buy this book and make a good faith attempt to follow its directions, IT WILL ADD IMMENSE JOY AND MEANING TO YOUR LIFE. There are tools THAT BEGIN TO WORK IMMEDIATELY to free you of the emotional addictions that generate the suffering in our lives. Are you ready to have unhappiness be largely a thing of your past? Are you ready to EXPERIENCE a universe with ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR? That is what this book offers. We are approaching a time of great consciousness shift, and everyone will need the tools Ken has distilled/synthesized for us. Living Love is the only way to really live. Anything less is a shallow imitation. Thanks, Ken.

Summary: pulled me from the darkest depths to enlightment
Review: My original copy of this book dates back to 1974. the book is worn and taped together. I have found no other book or system that can take you from where you are now to a higher level of consciousness. I am still recomending it to friends and others. Thank You Ken

Summary: A Truly Transformative Read
Review: OK, so maybe you don't even believe in a personal God, let alone all that mystical mumbo-jumbo. Falsifiability means something to you when it comes to dealing with reality. Be that the case, I still recommend this book. The first part of this book is pretty hokey (similar to others in the self-improvement genre) but once disciplined to read over the ... and try to listen to what Ken was trying to say, a light went on. He makes some good points-'tho many have learned them by high school. I've gotta admit that this book has changed me. I'm a work in progress, and this ain't the holy grail, but I think they should teach this stuff in school. More important than calculus in this digital age. It does take a particular philosophical (theological?) view, so some tolerance is req'd. What it does is present a different perspective of life's problems and your interpersonal behavior patterns. Those whose only problems are "caused" by others (or those with no problems) and those without any curiosity will probably not benefit from this author. Other 5 star ratings I'd give would be to Doug Adams Hitchhiker's; Schaums Tensor Calculus, and Guns of August (by what's her name)

Summary: An extraordinary and practical life-changing book
Review: Originally written in 1975, this is the classic predecessor to more contemporary personal transformation authors such as Wayne Dyer or Neale Donald Walsch, both of whom have acknowledged Handbook To Higher Consciousness as a major influence.The book is based around unconditional love for oneself and others. One of the main points continually emphasized here is the importance of changing your addictions to preferences. It is okay to have preferred outcomes in life, but once we are no longer attached to results, we are set free to experience life more happily and fully in the here and now. Ken Keyes presents us with numerous ways of achieving this, based around "The Twelve Pathways To The Higher Consciousness Planes Of Unconditional Love And Oneness". These suggestions are entirely practical, and cover every area of human experience. "You make yourself and others suffer just as much when you take offense as when you give offense" is a powerful truth, as is "to be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have". "The Instant Consciousness Doubler" of experiencing everything that everyone does or says as though you had done or said it is another winner. Every page is packed with insights and suggestions for a more enlightened life. The nature of life is that we win some and we lose some, so we might as well accept it and enjoy ourselves whenever possible!

Summary: This book truly lives up to its title.
Review: Over the past few years I have regularly referred back to this book to regain clarity of mind and strength. Every time I pick up this book I become more to accurately aware of myself and others, and our senseless perpetuation of pain resulting from our demands and expectations. In simple language, this book teaches how to see the root of most of our suffering, and gives concrete guidelines for self liberation.

Summary: Most important book I've ever read.
Review: This book was my introduction to the concept and experience that is liberation. As the author quickly notes, the book is mostly a paraphrasing of the 4 Noble Truths and Buddhist basics - and a very good job of it. The first 76 pages are priceless to the beginner.
