Practical worksheets for change
Bought this as a gift for my teen-age son because he uses the title phrase often! In leafing through it, discovered the worksheets at the end of the book and started using them to journal - they DO work - especially after reading the book. Dr Ryce does simplify things to make his points; however, the book resonated loudly for me. Better yet, it resonated for my son. Other reviewers can say what they want about the stature of this book in relation to some others out there, but it was well worth the price of this book for the worksheets alone.

Somehow the repeated problems in my life are now explained.
You know for four years I thought that therapy sessions were starting to make sense. Then I read this book and WHAM.I think of all the hours and money thrown towards my healind and all that was needed was this book. This book is a life opener. It has changed my life for the positive. Thank you michael ryce for making a difference in my life.

I can't explain it, but it works!!!
This book was given to a friend of mine. One lQQk at it shouted out "SAME OLD-SAME OLD" & a glance through seemed to confirm this. I was especially unimpressed to see that it had been self-published & that most of the reviews quoted were just people like me. I haven't even read the "Celestine Prophecy," (whose author wrote the cover's leading rave) nor do I intend to- the word "prophesy" belonging with all the other metaphysical mumbo-jumbo that passes for 'self-help' or 'spirituality' these days. More red flags: the author/publisher refuses to capitalize his name, & even worse! uses the title 'dr.' (he is not an M.D.- his doctorates-small 'd' are in 'naturopathy & holistics.

However reluctantly, I did promise to give it a 'once-over' for my friend who knows that I enjoy a 'good' self-help read (such as "Messie No More" which really did help me to clean up my act.)

As expected, I found the writing very amateurish, consisting of a feigned intensive conversation between the author and a man suffering from 'failed relationships syndrome.' Much of it seems to be bits & pieces of standard self-help information, just re-packaged for the vocabulary & attention span challenged. My only real disagrement arose over the author's insistence that we are created for a world of love. He presents this as a simple fact that just is - no justification necessary. But who's perfect? I decided to just ignore this & get to the worksheets that were promised to change my life.

So you can imagine my surprise when they actually did!!! Well, perhaps not my whole life, but certainly my thinking about some issues that had been bothering me for a long, long time. That is all I can tell you about this book, except that I am now ordering my own copy!
