Book Reviews of Making a Change for Good: A Guide to Compassionate Self-Discipline
Book Review: Modern Buddhism
Summary: 4 Stars
This book along with Sensei Anthony Stultz (Free Your Mind)and Ezra Bayda (Being Zen)represent the very best of modern buddhist teachering-I highly recommend all three.Book Review: Unexpected Greatness
Summary: 4 Stars
We're always looking for that external thing to save us and transform us. In Huber's book, we're aided in confronting the external things that have laid eggs in our mind and influence the habitual decisions that we make daily, including addictions, procrastination, and time management.
I've found that Huber's right on track -- it starts with being still.
Book Review: A very fine and practical approach for anyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a personal growth coach with a background in psychology, world religions and biofeedback. I work everyday with people who are trying to change their lives, which as you know is often a tall order. I've always admired Cheri Huber's simple, practical and effective approach and this book is certainly one of her best.
Although this book is based on Buddhist thought, it can be used by anyone of any faith. It approaches change from a perspective of non-judgmental awareness, unconditional self-acceptance and seeing that beating yourself is and always has been futile.
In addition to her fine presentation of content which is gleaned from a variety of areas including cognitive therapy, Buddhist thought and developmental psychology, she provides a structure. Specifically, the book contains a guided 30 day retreat which I think it EXCELLENT in every respect of the word... that's code for it really works!
This is one self-help book that is worthy of the name. I also recommend How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything: A Workbook, Be the Person You Want to Find: Relationship and Self-Discovery, Unconditional Self Acceptance and The Fear Book: Facing Fear Once and for All. In reality, all of Cheri Huber's books and other resources are excellent.
Book Review: Pristine wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
The paradoxical approach to self improvement. Accept yourself exactly as you are. You do not need to be younger, thinner, less abrasive, politically correct, smarter, cooler. You just need acceptance. In addition to very clear description of the issues, a practical 30 day program of "practice" is included. You do not need to leave your home and family, leave your job, become a vegetarian, or go to a cave. You just need some quiet time each day. This book is a tremendous gift. Book Review: More compassion from Cheri Huber
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read several of Cheri Huber's books, and this one does not disappoint. She delivers compassion once again - this time relating that self discipline is not about beating yourself or judging yourself into submission to a goal, it is about loving yourself entirely. It is a guide to meditation and journaling, but really it is so much more. She gives you the tools for success in any endeavor - whatever challenges YOU. Whether it is eating right, exercising, being a more kind person, committing to meditation, or ending your procrastination the method of kindness that she allows you to show yourself is a perfect tool for attaining your goal. It is not simply a repeat of her other material. It covers new ground with the same loving-kindness that flows from all of her work. It is not too "new-agey" and regardless of ones spiritual beliefs this guide is a wonderful tool for success.
