Book Reviews of Happiness Is Free, and It's Easier Than You Think!

Book Review: This will work for many; but prepare to work for it.
Summary: 5 Stars

Furthermore; the many people this program will work for may incorrectly believe turning your life around is easier that it is, and give up in frustration.

My suggestion is for you; to not read through the book one time and set it on the shelf, and believe you have solved your problems.

Do the exercizes, then take the baby steps, then keep taking these small steps for 6 months to a year, then look back and see how far you have progressed.

I wish to comment about various portions of the book.

Page 3: "When I had studied various body centered disciplines including Yoga, Tai-Chi, Shiatsu. I had actively participated in various courses, including EST, Actualism, theta seminars and Rebirthing." _| Mr. Dwoskin and I have been down many similar or same paths. (Yoga, (Qigong instead of Tai Chi),( Kiatsu instead of Shiatsu), Actualism, Theta development, and Rebirthing.) I also did Reiki, Seichim, HUNA, Crystal healing, etc.

Page 7: "Having cleared out the neegative fears, All the negative "I cannots," I would focus right on the answer to every problem, and get it very quickly. And so my whole life turned around from being depressed and sick"_| I could NOT agree more. Let me caution you that turning that corner and walking out of the pits of despair is NOT easy. So prepare for a lot of internal work. This will fall away from you quickly looking back in hindsight, but at the time; success WILL be an inch at a time.

Page 15: "I saw that the source of all this energy, of all intelegence was basicly harmonious' and that harmony was the rule of the universe." _| I can not say it better, or agree more.

Page 16: "I saw that the only limitations I had were the ones I accepted." _| I agree 100%. No one fully understands the potential of the human body, mind, and spirit.

Page 18: "It is such a delight when you're in tune, in harmony-you see God Everywhere!" _| this is remarking the obvious. God IS everywhere (including you and me).

Page 21: "We should only accept what he or she teaches once we prove it for ourselves through our own experience." _| Agreed. If this does not work for you; does not mean it does not work for anyone, each of us have different spiritual questions to answer.

Page 35: "The more you can lead with your heart and not your mind in this process the easier it is to do." _| True; but the more you open your heart; the easier it is to be hurt until you master your mind.

Page 39: "the original thought of "I am seperate from the All" necessarilt creates a feeling of lack and lonliness." _| Agreed. You will need to remind yourself at times that "We are all connected". There is no lonliness only the perception of lonliness.

Page 65: "Prayer is for those who need praying" _| This is Mr. Levenson's opinion; but I do not share it.

Page 66: "But Prayer admits duality-God is "out there."" _| I disagree. I see no contradition to say I am part of God. but there are other parts of God that hears and answers prayers.

Page 84: "The ego is very tricky. It often talks us out of this path for a short period of time, sometimes a longer period of time." _| Agreed. Training the mind is long and ardurous.

Page 85: "You give up limitation. You give up misery, but you never give up anything worthwhile." _| I disagree. You give up precious time that you can not regain. It would be MUCH better if parents would be gentle with what a child is taught to believe.

Page 86: "You nust have a very strong desire to change, because you are such a victim of habit" _| That is only 1/3 of the picture. Desire is NOT enough. To change you also need Courage to take proper actions on the new path you have chosen, and Perseverence to keep taking those small steps until you can walk and then run.

Page 87: "The best place to grow is right where you are. The best time is now." _| Could not agree more. You can not say I will take those large steps when I get there, but if you continue living on autopilot; you never get to the point where you can take those large impressive steps. Crawl when you can, then walk.

Page 90: "The more you grow, the less you need to grow." _| I disagree. the more I grow toward mastery, the more work I see to do. Every answer tends to create more questions.

Page 106: "Everyone wants a continuous, constant, eternal hapiness with no sorrow whatsoever" _| I know this is a cliche; but "You only appreciate the mountaintop after walking through the valley".

Page 131: "The best way to increase our capacity to love is though understanding ourselves." _| A better analysis is
"Are you; your own best friend?" You can't love or respect someone else until you love or respect yourself" Speaking from experience here.
