Summary: Teaches us how to LIVE life...
Review: This book is one of the most important books I own. Susan gives us truly inspiring ways to communicate that keep us walking through our days with joy and the ability to honor ourselves, others and the changing world around us. Getting Real is a guide to everyday living that changes both our inner and outer worlds. I have learned so much about myself and find I am more willing to share myself with those around me and live a vastly more authentic life. Thank you Susan.

Summary: This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read
Review: This highly evolved masterpiece is a reader's digest condensed version of radical honesty. Imagine a highly evolved human being who has dedicated her entire adult life to what it means to be an evolved human being. Imagine investing thousands of hours, countless hours, studying and practicing psychology, sociology, philosophy, cognition, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, neurolinguistic programming, eastern spirituality, therapy and coaching. Now imagine this person recently finished elegantly capturing the most powerful insights from this life dedicated to action research in these areas. This is obviously someone whose life's work is to heal the planet. Finally, imagine visiting with this Goddess, and engaging in an exchange where these insights are transfused into your consciousness instantly, easily and effortlessly. Susan's insights are so powerful, simply reading this book is life altering. It is impossible to not be automatically evolved simply by being exposed to the truth skills Susan shares, such as noticing whether your intent is to relate or control, or attachment to being right, or being able to hold different viewpoints simultaneously. It isn't just the skills Susan shares that make a difference, though that would be powerful in itself. It is the heartfelt way she shares them, and the examples and exercises she shares, that really make these profound yet simple ideas come to life for the reader. Even more powerfully dramatic, however, is the transformation the reader experiences as one begins to apply the skills and the philosophy to interactions with others. The reader's filters and lenses are forever adjusted, enhanced, expanded, tuned up and refined, resulting in a new experience of life, understanding more fully what is meant by "being present in the moment". So often we are run by our stories, our interpretations, our beliefs, our assumptions and our habits. Susan shares in language that is easy to understand and apply, how we can take being human to a more evolved place. I strongly recommend this book as mandatory reading for anyone who is passionately committed to living an authentic life.
