Summary: Actually...only 14 days!
Review: Don't laugh or shrug off OOBE as most people do when they hear about this subject. This book is an excellent primer for actually accomplishing an OOBE. It took me only 14 days (er...nights) to accomplish this. I HIGHLY recommend this to all "wannabe astral travelers!"

Summary: One of best in this field
Review: Great book. One of the best in this field to come along in a long time. Stack offers excellent advice which is very helpful in the pursuit of OOBEs. I recommend this book to beginners if they REALLY want to have an OOBE.

Review: i didn't like the size of this book. it's not like regular hand held books. cool book on astral projection (out-of-body experiences) though. The web has better information on astral projection.

Summary: sdlajalds
Review: If you ever dreamt of flying, you should get into astral projection. it's very easy to do. All you need to do is relax your body and nothing else. This book will help you. The web is better, but you know that's better then every book, so who cares about that. this book will help you but i think some other books are better=

Summary: The most valuable homework I ever did...
Review: It's unfortunate this book has not received higher praise in these reviews; perhaps because it is being compared to ther books on the subject? This book is not a guidebook to astral travel, nor is it a fascinating collection of personal experiences... It is a short, to the point workbook that serves one purpose alone -- to get you out of body for the first time. Rick Stack writes a few introductory chapters on the subject, then outlines a series of written exercises to get you to identify any roadblocks (fears, preconceptions, etc). Once these fears are identified, there is another series of written exercises to get you to "turn them around" into positive thoughts that will empower and motivate you. The last chapters suggest various techniques of getting out, based on the prep work that you have done.If you genuinely follow these exercises, there is no reason why you shouldn't have an experience. My first one happened in a month and a half, but I wasn't as diligent as the book suggests to be! Other books I have found useful for motivation and reference (so far -- haven't read 'em all!) are Far Journeys by Robert Monroe, and Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman. The latter goes into a lot more detail about techniques, personal experiences and the physics of multiple dimensions. Monroe's book is a little dry at first, but halfway through turns into one of the most enjoyable and challenging stories I have ever read.

Summary: Emminently practical, absolutely effective!
Review: Rick Stack has written the most practical and effective manual for experiencing OBEs that I have ever read. He covers the very best techniques while taking into account the fears and beliefs that might hold one back. I recommend it unreservedly.

Summary: a good short book
Review: Yes, this is a good short book. Short not only refers to the conscise nature of this book but also the size(height) of this book! It starts with a short intro to OOBE and then it cuts through the chase by giving you instructions on what you need to do to acheive your own OOBE. It explains the role of belief structures and how it affects OOBE and how to change it so that you can have OOBE. Actually this is one of the book's best features. Instead of continously struggling to achieve OOBE which sometimes feels like you are ramming your head against the wall with no results, it explains how you can achieve OOBE a little easier. Change your beliefs about it first. If you belief that it is difficult, change your belief to that OOBE is effortless and easy. Explore your fears about OOBE and deal with it so that OOBEs can occur without you sabatoging yourself because you are fearful of OOBEs. For those who are familiar with Seth books by Jane Roberts, it will apparent that there are Sethian influence in this book, afterall, the author studied the works of Seth and Jane Roberts. And with all how-to-have-0OBE books, it has many techniques and useful tips on how to increase your chances of having a conscious OOBE. However, I would have preferred more examples of how OOBE was acheived as this would serves as an encouragement to those who are trying and also show how real-life OOBE are acheived. More descriptions to OOBE enviroment would also be helpful and how the author dealt with what he found when he was having an OOBE would have made the book more complete. And finally, I felt the physical dimension of the book was very awkward. The books is a rectangle and you have to hold it length-wise. I guess if you wanted to be different from other books, this would be one way of accomplishing it. Not only is it awkward when you hold it, but when you put it on your book shelf it sticks out demanding attention because it is longer than other books. But as I said before, it is a good short book and it is in my OOBE book collection and I wouldn't want to be without it.
