Summary: Riveting!
Review: I am amazed. I didn't know what to expect with this new one by Dr. Vitale. I stumbled across this one after reading his other best-sellers like "Spiritual Marketing." well, this one sent electric shocks through me. The first two chapters alone were riveting. I couldn't believe what Dr. Vitale had gone through. Then the other chapters were inspiring and informative about healing blind people and walking on water and even---this was wild---astral sex. This is the biggest book Dr. Vitale has written, except for the one he wrote on P.T. Barnum, and this may be his best. I can't believe he wrote it 15 years ago. Anyway, I think anyone wanting a fascinating book should get "Adventures Within."

Summary: I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book, but...
Review: I feel the real value in this book is in how Joe shares his learnings and experiences with many self-growth modalities. In the beginning of the book, Joe shares a few difficult experiences he had in his youth related primarily to his father. Then he moves into his experiences as a follower of Rajneesh. This is followed by his many experiences interviewing and/or participating in some of the most effective and controversial people and organizations in the human potential movement of the 70's and 80's. As you read his experiences you learn FROM him and THROUGH him. My only criticism is that I ran into some annoying typos. I will definitely invest in some of his other work.

Summary: An inspirational masterpiece
Review: I have known Joe Vitale for over a decade and have been amazed at the success he's achieved since I met him. But when I read Adventures Within and learned just how far Joe had come *before* I met him, I was even more astonished. Anyone who has ever been overwhelmed with doubt, debt or other troubles and wondered if it is really possible to break free should read Adventures Within. Joe's story ranges from heart-breaking to heart-warming and everything in between. But most importantly, it leaves you full of hope and the sense that anything is possible.

Summary: A fascinating story
Review: I was in my 30's in the decade of 1980. Joe's personal journey of enlightment and self knowledge was one common to mine for the 80's and the 90's. Reading about Joe's adventures shed new light on my own experiences. It's his frankness of what he saw and how he feels about it in reflection that help me clarify some of my own thoughts and beliefs of the various mentors I sought during those years. Joe brings up many observations about the various high profile personal development movements and groups that most people would shy away from saying. Joe didn't hold back. Frankly, once I started reading the book I just couldn't put it down. I had to finish it in a single reading.

Summary: Joe Vitale's semi-autobiography
Review: I've been a fan of Joe Vitale's since I first picked up Spiritual Marketing. After that came The Greatest Money-Making Secret in History! Each book brought me a clearer understanding of Joe today. Then he handed me the draft of what would eventually be titled Adventures Within.
The story answered the question, "What happened to get you where you are today?" Boy, did it ever answer it!
The first 2 chapters are pretty raw and disturbing. At first, I didn't want to keep reading, but I'd promised Joe my thoughts and a quote on copyediting the whole book, so I continued. And am I ever glad I did. The following chapters are fascinating, evoking, thought-provoking and informative. I realized that the first 2 chapters had to be there for the readers to get the enormity of the changes as Joe gets freer and freer through his various courses of study and exploration. I think I've read the book 7 or 8 times, and I learn something new -- about Joe and about myself -- every time I read it.

Summary: Talk about SHOCK value....
Review: Joe's new book, is in a word 'shocking'. You will absolutely be THRILLED by this book IF: a) You are interested in what is termed the "New Age" movement
b) You've tried countless "self-help" books and you're still where you are.
c) You believe that miracles are possible.
d) You DON'T believe in miracles, because this book will make a believer of you. You'll be even MORE thrilled if you know Joe personally, and you THINK you really know him, because you probably don't. People know him as the World's First Hypnotic Marketer, and the author of countless best selling books, but Joe will introduce you to many other people... who has shaped and moulded his belief system, namely: a) The boxer
b) The white Witch
c) The Harry Houdini Protege
d) The World's Greatest Preacher
e) Anand Manjushri These are people you probably never knew existed. As a bonus..if you read closely enough, you'll love how Joe's relative turned beef into fish, right in front of his very eyes! And Joe will also take you on a cold hard objective look at the "woo woo" stuff like Fire Walking, Astral Sex...and what will REALLY bring you true happines and fulfillment. I sincerely belive.. that unless Joe releases something else.. this is MY personal favourite book for the moment. I was not able to put down the book after going through the first chapter...and I don't think anybody will be able to.. It's definitely not hype to say that the first two chapters are 'forbidden'. In fact I was puzzled when Joe didn't even tell me about this book...until I read it and realized why.... It'll make you laugh, cry, squirm in discomfort.. and go "How DARE he".. To conclude.. if you love Joe's writings.. you MUST get this book because I really believe that this is the BEST EVER! Get it! Respectfully,
Jo Han Mok
