What's It Like Being You?: Living Life As Your True Self

Summary: Get to Know Who You Are
Review:
This is a great book for spending some time with the One who loves you the most - you! Or your True Self, as the authors call who we really are. I love this gentle, sweet yet thought-provoking book about how to not only get to know who we really are inside, a Soul who is One with God, but how we can practice more and more being our True Self, something the distractions in the world often take us away from. With lots of enlightening reflections and a delicious touch of humor about our humanness, this book is a nice reminder to check-in with our hearts instead of listening to all the criticism and judgment the world can deliver at times. I especially treasure the lovely guided meditation CD that is enclosed free with the book.

Summary: i am my true self
Review: I am so gratefuL THAT i do not need this book to align with my "true self" The book was recommended to me by a friend who is part of the MSIA movement(cult to some).There are many books of this ilk,some have merit . I would not say this is one of them but if you are a "follower",I can see where it would support that belief system.

Summary: To be Avoided
Review: There is nothing here worth reading. The ideas are stale and trite, and the writing is, well, flabby and lame. Maybe I'm a snob, but I don't like the feeling that I am back in 5th grade, and that's about the reading level of this book. Hence the smiley face...

By the way, what's wrong with a little judgment? Isn't that how we can get to the other side of the street? Isn't that one way we protect ourselves? Of course the authors would like to abandon all judgment, so we would buy their book!

Review: This book came to me in a strange way. It may offer something to a troubled teen or someone in recovery but as someone who is fully functioning and an explorer of all things related to spirit,it was too much of a (poor)re -write of other things I've read . The CD put me out as well.

Summary: Fabulous book ~ loved it!
Review: This is one of those books that sat on my bedside table, so I could read and think about it. As a psychologist, I am always interested in different ways to see the psyche and how it functions. Especially when a spiritual dimension is included: in my view a 'life without Soul' is barren indeed.
The authors obviously truly want the reader to "get it", as it is clear and straight-forward. And the practical approach (esp. "the road map") was fun to play with. The meditation CD in the back of the book was a pleasant surprise and added bonus!
I will be recommending this book to a wide variety of people.

Summary: I LOVE this book!!!!!
Review: Would you like to experience more joy, more peace, more loving & more laughter regardless of what's going on in life?? Would you like to be more connected to Spirit and your own Soul?? Read this book!! As soon as I read the title I was soooo grateful that a book was written for this topic I've been struggling with. (My true self, I've since learned - doesn't struggle... : ) I love how simple yet profound the book is. It invokes our true selves with quotes and also valuable guidance. My absolute favorite part is the CD which I just LOVE listening to and find it incredibly powerful to center me regardless of what's going on. I've been so enthusiastic about this that I've bought a bunch of these books for classmates of mine as we're all studying about sharing more of our authentic selves in the world. I hope you check it out!

Review: Yes, it's true, I wrote a softball negative review of this book and the review was mysteriously yanked. By whom and why, we will never really know.

Here's the real story: the John-Roger books are largely reviewed by loyal members of his religious movement, MSIA. The reviews are unswervingly positive, as the members ascribe divine attributes to him and to his every utterance. Dangerous? not really. But John Roger could recite the telephone book and his accolytes would swoon with delight. The fact that his adoring followers are writing most of the reviews is not readily apparent the the casual browser.

The subject of the book has been done to death by many, many others who have said the same things in a fresher, finer, more original way. So the unsuspecting buyer of this book should be aware of these things, and should know whereof the reviewers speak.

Peace and Love baby!! Hopefully this review won't be whisked off the airways like the others...
