Book Reviews of You Can Heal Your Life
Book Review: a life-changing book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have spent literally years trying to find the help I thought I needed from somewhere on the outside, only to find that this book and the exercises and affirmations suggested actually changed my life and my expectations of it OVERNIGHT! Well, ok then, over about a week, but as I've been searching for about 25 years, this is all relative.Louise Hay begins by taking you through her thoughts and belief systems, and then leads you through the exercises she would ask you to do on one of her workshops. Obviously, if you do not search your heart thoroughly while doing these, the results may not be as shatteringly effective as those I have found in my own life, but you will certainly look at many things in a different way.
Of course, you have to WANT to change, and until you do you probably won't get much from it, but it may give you a taste of how things COULD be.
If on the other hand you feel you are ready to stop being that OLD you that you perhaps don't like very much, the one maybe you think others aren't so keen to be friends with, and you know that somedays you like yourself better than others, and now WANT to be the person you always knew you COULD be with just a little help but didn't know where to look for that help, the help is HERE!
In reality, the answers are INSIDE US all the time, but we are so bound up in our own negative belief systems of who we are, we quite forget that we can chose to reassess the things we believe about ourselves any time we chose to, and herein lies the answer to many of our problems.
Ultimately, all it takes is for us to take a long, hard look at WHAT we believe about ourselves, and WHY, and we can begin to change and HEAL OUR LIVES - NOW!
Book Review: I healed my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had struggled along for a long time in pain and confusion. At the bottom of a well of negativity I realised that I have a psychiatric illness. Louise L. Hay's book helped turn around a number of my self-limiting beliefs and turn me into the much more positive person that I am today. Her "I approve of myself" exercise was particularly powerful. Thank you Louise.Book Review: Good stuff - but read with care
Summary: 3 Stars
There's a whole lot of really good advice and positive messages in this book. However, I really can't swallow the message that we create our own illnesses through negative thoughts and practices - yes, we can do much through a holistic, psychological approach, but the cod psychology which says that cancer is caused by 'deep hurt and longstanding resentment' is too much.Read and use this book - I found it a great source of ideas - but apply some common sense to some of the more 'Christian Science' types of claims. Feeling guilty about causing your own illnesses isn't likely to make you feel or be any better.
Book Review: Interesting but a little discouraging.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book on recommendation. Whilst its main theory proves interesting, that all illnesses and ailments are a creation of our psychological problems, I must say I found it rather disheartening. I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (M.E) for over 10 years and whilst my symtoms have varied in severity they are none the less real symptons. Of course mental problems often come hand in hand with CFS but I am unwilling to belief that they are the cause and root.I feel that it could be very damaging to people to dismiss any physical complaint as a mental disorder, especially severe diseases such as cancer, which I'm sure most people including myself would find ludicrous.
I gave this book three stars because of the ideas and arguments presented. It is a well laid out book with positive aspects such as lots of self-affirmations to help with general confidence.
However I would suggest reading this book to improve on your self-assurance, confidence and not to in the vain hope that it might help you heal any physical illnesses or ailments.
Book Review: 'Life-transforming'.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most wonderful, magical and life-transforming book I have ever read. It set me on the path to a new-found positivity, self-confidence, happiness and inner peace that I could never have imagined was achievable. It allowed me to see for the first time that I could take control of my life and start living my life positively, successfully and happily. For the first 35 years of my life I lived in fear, uncertainty, aimlessness, misery, disappointment, depression, hopelessness and helplessness, and I considered myself to be a disappointing failure in every single area of my life. I was weighed down with guilt and negativity, had no purpose in life and was devoid of all self-confidence. I've given all that negativity up and am in the process of rebuilding my life with a solid foundation of self-confidence, love, inner strength and happiness. Every single area of my life is improving - work, play, finances, relationships, health and energy levels. I am following a beautiful new path and it was this book which showed me the way. I strongly recommend it to everyone.
