Review
"Leonard Orr's book is the most realistic and practical in the field of conquering death."
—Timothy Leary

"Leonard Orr has the ability to alter reality. If you enter into a relation with him with any degree of sincerity, you will be mutated. Stuff is going to come up in his presence—anything that is less pure than he is—and you are going to have to address it. Reading this book is entering into a relationship with him."
—Bob Frissell, author of Nothing in This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are

His international Rebirthing Movement has served over ten million people on six continents.

Customer Reviews

Interesting and useful, however contains a dangerous flaw...
The book is an interesting read, however is missing some MAJOR puzzle
pieces regarding aging and slowing the process. The author talks about
several techniques used by Indian holy men/women to beat death and live
for hundreds of years. The author is TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE when he
talks about a practice that involve looking at the Sun ALL DAY LONG !!!
UV light BURNS...PERIOD !!! To suggest this practice in the context of
"holy" and "sacred" is DARK indeed ! Trusting people lacking in
common sense and bent on Self Improvement could seriously damage
their eyes. I understand Sun Gazing can be practiced safely...however
it is a discipline that requires KNOW HOW, safe times etc. The road
to hell is sometimes paved with good intentions.
Buy the book...but don't 'buy' everything the author writes.

Breaking the Death Habit; The Science of Everlasting life
Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. It is incredible. About a year ago I started seriously thinking about my own immortality but not really knowing how to begin to achieve my divine right of immortality. Leonard maps it out with humor, sensitivity and wisdom. It should be a must read on everyone's list. I am now practicing daily water/fire/earth and air purification according to Leonard's suggestions. Next will be over-coming the food/sleep addiction that we all seemingly have. Who knows I just might make it to immortality. Do yourself a favor and buy the book and then read it and then love yourself enough to start the purification processes as outlined by Leonard. Namasti.

Some good advice, some religous garbage.
Lenny is a rare bird. In entertaining fashion he gives some cool practices on how to become one with the elements through Breathing, Grounding, burning off psychic dross, Rebirthing in water (Earth, Water, Fire, Air) and Living instead of dying. Lenny is one of the last to be preaching immortality the old fashioned way through consciousness and physical discipline before the age of nanotech/stem cell scientific immortality, and for that he should be praised. But, and this is a big BUT, this biblical garbage about the angel of the lord and jesus is just a bore like all religous dribble. You'll find more entertainment by getting on Lenny's mailing list and receiving his endless impassioned sermons on why you should send him money. Long live Lenny!
