Summary: Profiting from False Healing
Review: This book is actually promoting occult practices. Louise L. Hays website is full of occult books and ideas. Louise actively promotes New Age Atheism. Such as The Worship of False gods and goddesses, Astrology, Channeling and Tarot cards.Although true in a few areas. One can worry too much and get an ulcer. Many ulcers are due to bacterial infections. Many cancers and diseases are caused by Genetic Defects at Birth, such as Hemophilia and Muscular Dystrophy. Some Illnesses are caused by the way we choose to live our lives, such as smoking causing Lung Cancer. This book denies the existence of the Christian GOD and promotes the god or goddess within. This is nothing more than wishful thinking. Many people such as gay folks who are dying of AIDS who are desperate for a cure are buying this book with the false hope they can simply "wish" away thier disease.

Summary: I'll never sell my copy on Amazon.com!!!
Review: This book is one of a kind!! I have been dealing with a messy divorce, custody battle and all the ups & downs that go along with it (plus trying to work in a stressful environment throughout the long ordeal). I came across this book by chance and it has become my "bible!" I am just an ordinary, everyday person trying to get through a crisis and learn to deal with stress and a poor self-image. This book has made the difference between MAKING IT or not!! Thanks, Louise !! You are brilliant and pulled me out of a hole I thought I had fallen into!

Summary: My favorite.
Review: This is one of my all time favorites. The book covers so many topics: relationships, finances, sex, health. For years I have referred to this book depending on issues I am currently dealing with. Louise deals from her personal and clientele's experience. A must have for someone who is desiring to become a better/stronger individual.

Summary: Pretty Colorful
Review: Louise Hay is a great writer. She pulls you right in and helps you almost immediately. But she's gotta share the spotlight with 2 other writers: Florence Scovel Schinn and Shakti Gawain for their obvious contributions to her transformation. Florence was around 100 years ago and quoted the bible in her book - The Game Of Life & How To Play It; Shakti's book - Creative Visualization - is almost word for word what Louise writes, except Louise is long-winded. It just would have been nice if Ms. Hay credited them. Check out all 3 authors. All their books are simply life-changing.

Summary: THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE
Review: I know my story is going to sound like a joke, but here it is: I was working at a job that was substantially below my skill level, with the boss from hell. On top of that, I was overweight, feeling miserable, and well...my life was just not what I had hoped for. THEN, I read this book (May of 1999). It took a while, but slowly but surely my life started to change. At first, I thought the changes were in my mind, but within two weeks, I started to realize that I was thinking differently, and things just started to turn around. The affirmations are just so very powerful --- it is just amazing! Within a few months I lost the extra weight (36 pounds), and I look substantially younger. On top of that, within one year, I got my dream job, with the dream salary (my salary doubled). My friends, and family started to comment about the fantastic turn of events in my life. They are in awe! I do my affirmations every night before I go to bed. Some people have camomille tea before they go to bed, I do my affirmations. Give this book a try you have nothing to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain.

Summary: Will help on Healing Journey
Review: Louise L. Hay took the proverbial lemons and made lemonade out of them. She made beauty out of ashes, she truly turned her life around. And, having done so, she shares with the world how we can accomplish healing also. Ms. Hay is an inspiration. Someone had given me a copy of this book about 12 years ago. At the time I was not ready for all this what I called "hocus-pocus" back then. But because of a class I am taking for holistic healing, I had to purchase this book use as part of a research paper. I am so glad that I did, because this edition is even more beautiful than the original one I had. For those on the healing path, this is a definite buy. Keep in mind though that she is coming from a metaphysical perspective and that such things as a virus do come from sources other than ourselves.

Summary: Beautiful Illustrations
Review: I was attracted to the book by the beautiful and inspiring art-work. I believe the art in itself communicates joy and peace. I am in synch with Louise Hay's perspective. I am in the nursing profession and do believe in medical science, however, I have witnessed first hand how anger specifically contributes to poor health patterns. We should all take care of ourselves mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Summary: Change my Life...
Review: about 20 years ago, I was blessed to have my massage therapist put this tape in for me to listen to. One and half hours later I was forever changed. The empowerment I felt when I got off the table is unexplainable. For anyone who wants to be the 'change', this is the book or bk on tape for them. U just have to believe in your own natural power/ability to change. Things don't change you, you decide to change. Life is about choices.

Summary: Ridiculous!
Review: This book was given to me as a gift. I put it on the shelf, suspecting it was similar to other pop-psych works "shared" with me in the past. I was correct. As I later pulled the book out to donate it to GoodWill, I noticed in the back the index of medical conditions, each with a supposed "probable cause". Can it be that vertigo, glaucoma, diabetes are all the result of failure to know and accept the self? So I read through as much as I could stomach of the text. I can hardly believe the wrecklessness with which Ms. Hay opines on the etiology and treatment of any and all life problems. Medical concerns? Financial distress? Relationship issues? Hay recommends forgiving someone, as this is the common source of all ills. As a mental health professional with strong empirical beliefs, I found Hay's writing to be misleading and self-righteous. What credentials does she have to suggest that her personal knowledge overrides hundreds of years of real research and clinical progress dealing with medical and psychological problems? To offer readers a simple-minded solution to all concerns, despite the existence of validated treatments they might seek, is absolutely unethical. While specific elements of her advice are borrowed from known clinical theory, it appears only accidental that she says anything of real value. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere if you truly desire to improve yourself under the guidance of an "expert". Validated resources for self-improvement I recommend: McKay & Fanning -- Self Esteem, Alberti & Emmons -- Your Perfect Right.
