Summary: Thank you, Louise!
Review: I really shouldn't even write a review of this book or of Louise Hay, for I am extremely biased. Biased in the fact that she and her writings literally saved my life. People often say that something "completely changed their life" and while it sounds cliche here to say that, it's exactly what happened. I can't begin to describe to you the power of positive affirmations. I literally went from sleeping on someone's livingroom floor and earning just above minimum wage, to owning my own home (7 bedrooms, thank you) and a large steady income. Not to mention health, happiness, an perfect mate, and everything in between. This book is easy to read, easy to follow and a great motivator. Do yourself a favor and buy several copies, because you'll want to give them out as gifts. I just can't say enough about Louise and how she has changed my life and the lives of others. Thank you, Louise--you're a treasure.Also recommended: A Child Called It, Bark of the Dogwood, A Man Called Dave

Summary: DISCOVER THE REAL YOU!
Review: "You Can Heal Your Life" is a beautifully written and illustrated book dealing with self-discovery. It is a stepping stone in finding the real person you are and exploring ways that will lead to a more peaceful and happy life. Often, we are our own worst enemies with imaginary fears of what the future will bring, or we are dwellers of our past mistakes, regrets and misgivings. The importance of discovering and accepting our true self for who we really are, and the search for a more fulfilling life, are explored among the pages of this book. Some of the words here are very much similar to Buddhist Philosophies. It is a known fact that before we can start anew, we must first rid ourself of all negative emotions and habits, more commonly known in this day and age as, "getting rid of the excess baggage." This is a wonderful self-help book that will lead you on a path of positive thinking and leave the reader with the understanding no one is perfect, we all have faults, but we can still feel good about ourselves. If you are interested in exploring more fully the world of peace, contentment and happiness, I also recommend reading , "Awakening the Buddha Within" by Lama Surya Das and "Healing Society" by Dr. Seung-Heun Lee. Both are excellent books and a realistic learning adventure in self-discovery.

Summary: It's true but oversimplistic and seriously lacking mechanics
Review: The concepts Miss Hay introduces are not new. They are as old as the pyramids of ancient Egypt and as motheaten as my old sneekers. Yet I applaud Louise L. Hay for attempting to help transcend the beingness of man. That being said, I don't think it is a wild statement to call this book a philosophical disaster. Anyone who is familiar with the works of Riemann, Einstein, Hawking or Kaku will know this universe has a set of certain laws. To bend these laws one has to know them and it is very clearly Hay doesn't have any metaphysical (let alone mathematical) understanding whatsoever. Yes, one is able to transform or transfigurate the universe in wich he/she lives but this universe has the tendency to play some very nasty tricks on someone who does (remember Aleister Crowley?). To many people are trying to alter the cosmic woof and warp of life at the same time and there are too many vibrations wich fly around our zone of existence. These, and dozens of other problems (like games, gods, choas, order, command) prevent many people to actually be at cause. Instead of this book I would first suggest to read Stephen Hawkings' "Universe in a nutshell", then Gary Zukav's "Dancing Wu-Li Masters" (and don't read Seat of the Soul!) and finally Aleister Crowley's "Magick Without Tears". But after that read "You can heal your life", then it will be MINDBLOWING! Then you will be set. You'll be standing on a jumping plateau like THE FOOL on tarotcard zero, you'll be able to do anything you want!

Summary: Louise Hay helped save my life.
Review: A friend at my church handed this book to me after a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Disease and encouraged me to read it. He said it had helped him in his life. I didn't know this guy very well and I have not seen him since then. I am embarrassed that I can't even remember his name. However, I will forever be grateful to him. The book helped me find so many truths about the way I had been living my life and the ultimate responsibility that I had in staying healthy. I learned there were many things I could do myself that I had never known I had the power or abiltiy to do. I survived cancer and a long illness recovering from a bone-marrow transplant. I owe my life to wonderful, blessed people like Louise B. Hay. I recommend this book to anyone suffering in any way, in their physical or emotional life.

Summary: The beginning of a life changing experience
Review: I'm 26 and I was diagnosed with a spine of an 86 year old. I felt like a victim - "why me", "oh god, if I'm like this now, what will I be like in 10 years, if I'm even alive!", and "look at him, why doesn't he have a back like mine". It's been seven months since I first became sick and for almost that entire period I've felt nothing but pain, anxiety, and isolation. Fortunately my father has this book and so I ordered my own copy of it as well as the "you can heal your life companion". I just read through this entire book in little over a week and my life has changed already. I was brought up in the new age way of thinking, but this book really took me to a new level. This book is really only the tip of the iceberg however, but she really tells you where to go. Metaphorically speaking, reading this book is like asking for directions - Louise Hay tells you to go south, then go 10 miles, then turn north, from there it's up to you, but she gives you the first few steps. She tells you in this book to read, search, and find other works that will help you on your journey. I've taken this book to heart and have done everything that she has said. She also recommends using alternative healing styles and chiropractic is one of them. I've been seeing one now, and along with Louise's book, I'm feeling better than I have ever since I became so called "sick". She tells you her story in the end of this book, and at first I was thinking, "Why do I need to know her story". Well, read it, and you will find out why I had to finish her story before I put the book down for the night. Read this book if you have an illness. Read this book if you don't feel happy. Read this book if you think you are not getting paid enough at your job. In any situation you are in right now, this book will steer you in the right direction, even if you are only a little off course. Trust me. Read this book. It may change your life... forever!

Summary: It is OK but not deep enough, it doesn't convince
Review: I have been interested in the inner power to heal yourself for many years, I have attendend to "Course of Miracles" kind of semminars. Recently I moved to a country where you don't hear about this kind of things and I needed suport and particularly detailed guidance to heal a couple of new things that I experienced after I reached the new Country. I bought the book with the hope I would be able to heal myself, that I would find the answer I needed, but the book is too shallow for that, it goes around the bush. It is better to buy the small one that has the list of all the diseases "Heal your body". For a deep reading I recommend the book "Anatomy of the Spirit" by Caroline Myss.
