Summary: I loved this book!
Review: I read Judith's book Guide to Intuitive Healing over a year ago. That book really helped to set me on the path of understanding and putting into use my own intuitive powers.
I really enjoyed reading Positive Energy. It is a very well written and uplifting read. Judith offers so many practical ways that we can incorprate this information into our daily lives in a simple non overloading way! This is a book I will hang on to and pick up again and again for inspiration.

Summary: I have much better understanding of myself now
Review: I really loved this book. It discusses coping as a sensitive person and understanding human energies in general. I now have a greater understanding of my sensitivities.
And it is great hearing this advice from a medical doctor. I also know how to protect my energies more from reading this book. While reading this book, it felt like I was receiving a blessing. My only wish, is that it were longer.

Summary: "...actively involved in energetic transformation..."
Review: I'm a big fan of Dr. Judith Orloff. A psychiatrist and professor at UCLA, she broke important ground with her first book, Second Sight, by revealing how she has learned to come to terms with and embrace her intuitive/psychic abilities. Following it up with Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing, she set about teaching others how to apply their own intuitive sense to their physical, emotional and sexual wellness.Now Orloff continues the teaching with her brand new Positive Energy, this time giving the reader even more practical intuitive advise on how to transform fatigue, stress and fear into vibrancy, strength and love. Assisted by everyone from Eve Ensler to Larry King, from Iyanla Vanzant to Quincy Jones, Orloff breaks her book into ten specific areas for interviewed discussions. The book is filled with information, techniques, tactics and treats that get one actively involved in energetic transformation. There's a lot to explore and absorb in this 333-page book. I found it to be the perfect companion in my quiet, reflective times this month and thoroughly enjoyed its gifts.

Summary: Dr. Orloff Delivers!
Review: If the title appeals to you, don't hesitate. Dr. Orloff delivers actual prescriptions which will not take you to the drug store, but will help keep you away. We actually live in an energy reality in an energy universe. Dealing with psychological and social problems through diet, analysis, and knowledge still can keep us ignorant of many ACTUAL and basic causes of our difficulties and these are the energies we are connecting to in our daily lives and relationships. In this introduction to Energy Psychiatry, Dr. Orloff lifts our awareness to the actual energies we are heir to, how to become conscious of them, avoid or transform them in our daily existence. As usual, she clarifies her prescriptions with many examples from her clinical practice as well as from her own life. The title of the book is a map, not a promise.

Summary: Best Book I've Read on the Human Experience!
Review: In her latest book, "Positive Energy," Dr. Judith Orloff introduces the art of Energy Psychiatry--that missing link between professional therapy and personal intuition. In her work, Dr. Orloff validates those "gut-level" feelings we sometimes have, which words or the intellect alone cannot adequately express. For example, if we happen to meet a stranger on the street and feel an unexplainable, yet familiar connection to that person, there is actually a scientific reason for this experience. Dr. Orloff explains that we can understand this type of connection if we recognize those subtle energies that every person radiates. In this instance, of meeting someone and clicking instantly, a certain chemistry results from the exchange of subtle, positive energy fields, or auras, between these two individuals. From her work as a scholar at the UCLA School of Medicine-one of the most respected medical schools in the world-Dr. Orloff provides scientific examples of how cutting-edge researchers are studying the effects of subtle energy as the transmission of auric fields. In this respect, Dr. Orloff's book furthers the work of Dr. Herbert Benson's work at Harvard's Mind Body Institute. And Dr. Orloff pushes her research even further with exploring the additional idea that subtle energy might transcend time as well as space. That is, the source of subtle energy can perhaps even stem from one's past life. Dr. Orloff thus invites the reader to open his or her horizons on the fabric of our social relations. They are the stuff of subtle energy. Yet this book is more than just a pondering on the existence of energy and the soul. Dr. Orloff provides 10 practical prescriptions for working with your energy so that life can be more enjoyable with less stress. (...) These 10 prescriptions for energy awareness act like rungs on a ladder reaching toward a happier life. Finally, Dr. Orloff places herself in such a way that she is not simply a researcher and scholar locked away within the Ivory tower of a medical school and clinical practice. Dr. Orloff recounts bitter and sweet remembrances from her own life, which shows her honesty and vulnerability. And while I might not agree with everything Dr. Orloff writes, she crafts her stories so that they don't have to be taken as the gospel truth, simply as ideas upon which to reflect. Many of the ideas and principles in Dr. Orloff's "Positive Energy" can be found in the writings of self-help gurus like Stephen Covey, whereas many of the existential questions can be found in the writings of saints like the Dalai Lama. "Positive Energy" is a rare find, and I predict it will be on the best-seller list for some time to come.

Summary: A Gift!
Review: In this hurry up world there are plenty of resources to deal with the growing crisis of fatigue and joylessness. However, Dr. Judith Orloff's new book, Positve Energy, offers something I have never seen before....a complete and highly practical and successful program to overcome the energy drains we all face. The real appeal of this book is the clear and simple guidelines Dr. Orloff demonstrates in her book that are actually fun and interesting and not at all hard to do! This is a far cry from the deprivation based programs offered by many medical professionals. Merging her highly credible medical background with cross cultural wisdom and knowledge, Dr. Orloff is on the leading edge. She offers real solutions that lift you up. The book couldn't have a more perfect title, as it is the most positive experience I have found in a book in a long time. Dr. Orloff's book is truly a wonderful gift....for yourself and anyone you care about! Anne Leedom

Summary: Ideal for Healing Professionals and Daily Stress
Review: It's not often I read a book that shifts my thinking of the world around me in a positive and meaningful way. Judith Orloff's POSITIVE ENERGY is such a book. Personally, it opened the door into a new way of viewing wellness and envisioning how to utilize energy as a building block for my own health and the health of others. If you are in the healing or helping fields (as I am), or if you ever have to deal wth negative energies, then I think you will benefit from what this book has to offer. In particular, it can help you protect and sustain your energy when working under difficult or emotionally trying circumstances--as well as ordinary daily stress. Dr. Orloff's many exercises are contained in each chapter under the headline "Make Changes Now." The exercises are clearly written, easy to incorporate into daily life, and are time-effective because many can be implemented in short periods of time. Because of POSITIVE ENERGY I am more confident in my ability to manage energy and be aware of how subtle energies can heal ourselves and others. Thanks Dr. Orloff for pioneering "energy psychiatry" at a time when knowledge in this area is greatly needed!
