Summary: A world of information
Review: An author with a world of experience provides a world of information from which the rest of us can benefit.
An intense and practical learning tool for establishing boundaries and re-learning instincts that are generally stiffled as we grow.

Summary: Awesome book
Review: I agree with the rest of reviewers. This has to be THE best book on emotions and one of the best psychology/spirituality books overall. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, addictions, PTSD or any other disorder of this kind, please do yourself a favor and get this book. If you don't get this book anyway. You will love and re-read it for the rest of your life!

Summary: THE BEST i've EVER READ ON EMOTIONS
Review: I've read so many non-fiction books that this past year when I was searching for a fiction book, I had to ask a clerk what section they were in! (Literature, how was I to know?!)This is THE best book from every angle. It is sequenced just right, you feel like you're covering the material without feeling lost or bored. It's written in laymen's terms, like your best friend is describing the confusing world of emotions. I was so impressed with this book that I flew to Colorado to attend her workshop, and no I've never done that before! (especially two months after 9-11) Now I can't wait for Karla to come to the East Coast. Karla is just like your friend next door. She will not allow you to put her on a pedestal and she truly shares her 'emotional genius' like a best friend. Thank You, Karla! I hope I get to more of your workshops before Oprah gets ahold of you!

Summary: Healing in a troubled time
Review: Karla McLaren is a genius! Her work is totally body-based which means you aren't meditating to the cosmos to find an escape from your life, you're welcoming the cosmos in to lead a meaningful, whole life. And that means getting back in touch with your emotions so they can flow through you instead of getting stuck in your mind or body. NOBODY else has written a book like this, trust me. She gives beautiful descriptions of the emotions and what their real gifts are to you. She guides you through various questions to get to the heart of the problem you are having. She teaches you how to get to the heart of your emotions with incredible acceptance and kindness. Another plus is that she goes into depth about balancing your quaternity or elemental nature (earth, air, fire, water) whether you know you have one or not. But it never gets heavy. It's like you're chatting with her over coffee! The author also gives explicit directions for beginning or maintaining a "grounded meditation" to include as a daily practice. I've been practicing it for several years and it has made a tremendous difference in my life and my view of the world. It makes you feel fully alive and grounded. None of that spacey, "what's it all about", out-of-body stuff in this book. BUY THIS BOOK. You won't regret it. Karla is earthy, funny, inspired, and sincerely wants people to become whole again.

Summary: Real Life, Real Advice
Review: Karla McLaren's work is simply superb. I have been an avid consumer of metaphysical works for many years. Although I've found many of the works I've read intellectually and spiritually inspiring, few have offered helpful advice and guidance on integrating spiritual principles into your real life experiences. Karla starts from the premise that unless you can apply spritual principles and practices to your daily life, it is mainly an exercise for you mind, not your spirit. She explains the spiritual purpose behind EVERY human emotion (even those we often feel obliged to repress because they are "not spiritual") and gives specific instruction on how to channel these emotions positively, healing yourself and others. I can't say enough about this book. It is truly one of the best books on emotions I've ever read...

Summary: emotional genius
Review: THis book should be a text book for all parents and children in school. Its a manual for how to handle our and other people emotions. It takes the stigma out of all those emotions we try to suppress and hide for social reasons and for fear we are mentally sick. I wish I had read this book a long time ago, it could have saved me a lot of suffering. Thankyou Karla!
