Summary: A fluent guide
Review: The Power of Kabbalah, the book, is written by Yehuda Berg, the son of Rav Berg and, like someone born into a foreign culture, Yehuda comes across as naturally fluent and entirely at home with his subject, with a simple way of expressing concepts that have seemed shrouded in obscurity for centuries.
This is not a dry exposition of intellectual ideas. It is a thoroughly practical handbook of wisdom. Yehuda Berg describes our true nature, the nature of the universe and the underlying reason for our discontent.
One of the greatest lessons of this book is that our deepest desire is to be the cause of our own fulfilment, and that we achieve this by resisting our reactive impulses and making proactive choices at every step in our lives. He gives many examples, drawn from all areas of life, of how we might offer this resistance and make a better choice. I have lived for many years with the wisdom of proactivity, which I learned from Steven Covey's wonderful book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. But I have to say that, despite those many years of working with proactivity, this new book seriously deepened my understanding of what proactivity was all about, and especially the spiritual dimension behind such actions. This greater understanding has helped me to take proactive decisions with increased confidence, and I have made several such decisions as a direct result of my contact with this book.
The discussions of scientific theory compared to Kabbalistic teaching I found absolutely fascinating, with striking parallels in the Big Bang theory and the ten-dimensional superstring theory of the universe.
Yehuda Berg also provides a good introduction to the 72 "Names of God", their origin and relevance to our lives. This may be a step too far for some readers and needs to be approached with an open mind. But as the author says of the whole book, "Don't believe a word of what you read. There must be tangible results in your direct experience. When that happens, you will feel the truth of Kabbalah in your body and soul, and you will come to know the wisdom of the sages in your heart."
Whether you are a complete newcomer to the Kabbalah, or have already been introduced, there is something to learn from this book. It has become a treasured possession for me; one that I will want to dip into often and read through more than once.

Summary: Wonderfully Written
Review: There are not many books which I really enjoy reading, but Berg's writting style makes this work very inspiring and difficult to put down. I do not know much about Kabbalah (which is why I bought the book) so I cannot say if this is a credible source, but what I can say is that I am very happy I bought this book and I would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

Summary: The Power of Kabbalah
Review: There are not many words to discribe the re-newness and deeper understanding of life itself one can open themselves up to in the wealth of the principals of the Kabbalah. I have read many books on this subject that all began with this one. I have to say it has brought my higher understanding of the other books and workbooks and numerous tape programs that I have studied. Some of these things of which I speak are not related to The Kabbalah per-se but they are helping you to understand a higher realm. Examples of some of my favorites are: The Celestine Prophecy, Anthony Robbins 30 workshop on Success which delves into all aspects of life nt only success, amoung others. I have also been inspired to read 7 books this month alone on the Kabbalah and I must say this one is signiffiant in your understanding of any of the others written that I so far have read. Yeduda Berg is genious in being able to make comprehension and sense of all that is in the Power of Kabbalah. Read it! It will change your perspective on life in so many poisitive ways...its unmeasurable! "Unlike the names of
g-d that are barely able to be spoken in actual words." Read the book and you'll understand what I just said. Thank you for your wise insight to Rabbi Berg if you should happen to read this.
With joy and light in my heart,

Summary: Does not deliver . . .
Review: This book is tauted as containing the secrets of the universe and the meaning of our lives, but I found it vague and incohesive. It requires the reader to take it on "faith" that what is being written is an accurate interpretation of ancient texts. In addition, the analogies were trite and sometimes downright patronizing to any reader with at least an IQ of 100! What I did find extremely interesting about this material is how much it draws a parallel to Ancient Egyptian myth and religion, and in particular, the story of how Isis was able to trick the old god Ra into giving her his real name whereby she was able to heal through magic. ("The speech of Ra, 'I consent that Isis shall search into me and that my name shall pass from my breast into hers,' would seem to show that . . . the power of the god [was] inextricably bound up with his real name...." ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MYTHS AND LEGENDS by Lewis Spence.) And also, the legend of how Set was able to capture and entomb his brother Osiris "Lord of All the Earth" with the help of 72 conspirators.

Summary: Refreshing
Review: This book was a good place to begin with Kabbalah. Deliberately uncomplicated and refreshing text makes fantastic reading. Simple workable principles are revealed that genuinely improve day to day living.Berg doesn't boggle the reader with religious texts but instead leaves you wanting to explore more. Inspiring. The only problem is the first one hundred pages details the basic concepts of creation etc and are slightly tedius. Stick with it, the book comes good.

Summary: Spectacularly insightful
Review: This books answers about all the questions you may have about HOW we got here on earth, further more it will tell you the spiritual WHY of why we are here. The insights will simply make you open your eyes and your mind to what really IS. Try it, I was a close-minded catholic, now I am a kabbalist.
Try it just for new knowledge's sake. You'll grow wiser in any way. Simple and down-to-earth writing.
