Rating: Summary: Message of acceptance Review: Robert Burney's perspective on philosophy, spirituality and psychology is really unique. I've read and listened to many spiritual people, but I've never found someone who combines love, acceptance and humour in such a profound manner. Spread the word, it's an invaluable book for "wounded souls" (most of us today, unfortunately...)
Rating: Summary: Excellent book. Required reading in my practice for many! Review: Since I discovered Robert's book, I've strongly recommended it to almost all of the angry, abusive, addicted people I treat as well as to the codependents in my psychological practice. I've never gotten less than a rave review. "Dance" is powerful reading for connecting to oneself.
Rating: Summary: A Way To Open Up Your Mind and Heart Review: The Dance of Wounded Souls provides the 'big picture' of perhaps why we are here and what our focus truly is on this planet. I would encourage anyone who is feeling lost, stuck, alone, grief stricken, confused or even just complacent to pick this up and read it carefully.While the style is not written in novel format, the ideas presented are sequential and understandable, with each turned page the 'Aha' feeling, that ringing of truth will keep you turning to the next and wanting more. I am anxiously awaiting Mr. Burney's trilogy.
Rating: Summary: Revealing Perspective Review: The New Age writing style was a little difficult to follow at times, but the content is excellent. It is a revealing look at how we develop our feelings and emotions; and that we can change perspectives once identifying unTruths in our life.

Rating: Summary: Codependence / The Dance of Wounded Souls Review: The quality of information in this very small book (only 127 pages) depends on the depth of your own personal journey of healing. Burney spins a silver thread of basic Jungian philosophy of spirituality that illuminates his own journey. We are spiritual beings created perfectly by God, learning about life and how to get back to God in a physical body. That's it. This is the extent of Burney's entire message. If you are just beginning, this book may offer rich insights for your spiritual growth. If you have been searching for depth beyond the quagmire of self-help books and seminars that have been available for the past twenty years, and/or you are seeking and searching beyond your personal work through a "twelve step" program and meeting, this author offers a mere one-minute-review of many notables. My rating is "disappointed" for the price of the book.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding in this little understood field of need Review: This book is very clear and precise in characterizing codependency. The message linking a cultural "codependence" to a spiritual disease, while not new or novel, is compelling presented within a 12 step context. However, Burney is rather repetitive at times throughout the book and somewhat vague in terms of the book serving as a guide how to effect change. A good start for those beginning the journey inward in healing. However, there are other sources much more concrete to help one find the way through the process of healing through a spiritual path.

Rating: Summary: Good start and a clear characterization of codependency Review: This book is very clear and precise in characterizing codependency. The message linking a cultural "codependence" to a spiritual disease, while not new or novel, is interestingly presented within a 12 step context. However, Burney is rather repetitive at times throughout the book and somewhat vague in terms of the book serving as a guide how to effect change. A good start for those beginning the journey inward in healing. However, there are other sources much more concrete to help one find the way through the process of healing through a spiritual path such as Homecoming by John Bradshaw or A Path with Heart by Jack Kornfield.
