Summary: A Venture Into The Self
Review: Any person who desires to understand himself in regard to personal growth and relationship with others must read this book. I have read and reread this book and use it to counsel others. Powell deals with the topic of human growth and development with acute precision and accuracy that informs a picture of the well-integrated, whole individual. He communicates this person in the honor of the image of God, not in a preachy tone but such as to reflect the dignity of humankind and his own vast understanding in religion and classical studies. He also touches at the nerve of why individuals mask themselves from others and the care and caution that we as counselors need to take in dealing with these people. His catalog of games and roles is so descriptive that even emotionally healthy persons can identify the weakend emotional tendencies that characterize their life. The principles in this book can be communicated to adolescent and adult alike. Simply indispensable.

Summary: Be Fully In the Moment
Review: For many years, I wondered why some people abruptly shifted their eyes away from my eyes. I also wondered how it would be possible for me to acquire the charisma that I admire in many public people.This book is the answer. People who shift their eyes from my eyes fear that if I notice who they are, and if I don't like who they are, they won't be accepted, because, to them, that is all that they have. I learned that those people have a self-concept that is based upon anticipating what others will think of them. And to become as charismatic as those I most admire, I've learned that by first accepting everything about myself, I am free to emulate them, without losing myself. This little book has so much information for anyone who desires to be their best. Read this book to become more than comfortable in your own skin.

Summary: Intresting, yet preaching
Review: I like this book alot and i thought it was a very quick and easy read. he gets his point across but i believe he does more preaching of his belieifs then letting us in on insights.

Summary: This book hits the nail on the head
Review: I recently had the opportunity to list the books that made a difference in my life and this one made the list. It was one of two by John Powell. The other is Fully Human, Fully Alive that brought a broader scope to his thesis on communication. I've just noticed he has another book published, Happiness is an Inside Job, I can't wait to pick it up.
Fortunately, I had gone on a marriage encounter prior to reading his book and had experienced a deep communication with my spouse and my God. His book was an affirmation of my new awarenesses and it was one that I could recommend to my friends who were unable to go on an encounter.

Summary: This book changed my life...
Review: It opened me the door to the world of understanding the interpersonal communication, understanding my own feelings, desires, needs,...I read a lot of John Powell's other Books (this was my first) and they all impressed me and helped me a lot by personal growth. I found in them a lot of answers or confirmations of my feelings or thoughts, I felt I am not alone,... They helped me to see a direction when having problems in my relationships,... So i consider it for a great honor, to be able to write a review first...summary in few words: "Thank you, John Powell!"

Summary: For the richness of authenticity and honesty in life-READ IT
Review: This book literally changed my life. Reading it has allowed me to understand some important parts of who I am - without being afraid anymore. Now, while there are things I keep private, there is nothing in, or about, my life that I would be embarrassed by people finding out. I recommend this book to all my friends, have loaned it to many, bought it for some and quote it to all. A must read again and again, which is made easy by its' concise and accessible format. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and get this book; maybe even get them a copy - NOW !
