Lauren H. reviewed Working on Yourself Doesnt Work : A Book About Instantaneous Transformation on + 24 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1
(posters note: this was an intriguing book. Not for me, but for a more inner/spiritual type of person, would be excellent)
" Don't let the title mislead you. This book is not about the futility of self-improvement, but rather about the effortlessness of transformation... With compassion and humor, the Kanes brilliantly articulate the specific blocks that keep us locked in the past and future, unable to experience the present fully... Particularly touching is a story Ariel tells about Shya's mother, Ida. This tale of forgiveness illustrates the transformation that takes place when we can glimpse the intelligence that lies beneath another's choices. This is a simple, easy-to-read book with a valuable message that can take you through the swamp of the mind into the clarity and brilliance of the moment." -- Whole Life Times, Jan. 2000
"#1 Best Book Buy. The search is over! Working On Yourself Doesn't Work is all you will need to make the transformational shift that can dramatically alter the course of your quality of living - for the rest of your life. This simple, yet profound book teaches us how to live in the moment. What also impresses me about this book is the easy to read double spacing that is used. As a book reviewer and author, I have read literally hundreds of books and this is the first book that immediately drew me in, as my eyes relaxed I felt welcome to become a part of the experiences portrayed in the book. It is refreshing, truthful, sincere, authentic and written with insightfulness and clarity. I choose to give this book a rating of 10+. A must for the library of every seeker of truth." -- Awareness Magazine,Nov.-Dec. 1999

"Working on Yourself Doesn't Work is a simple and profound book which teaches people how to live in the moment. It shows the reader a powerful and revolutionary method of self-discovery which goes beyond psychology - a method in which neutral awareness helps individuals find a way through the web of their thoughts and past programming into "the clarity and brilliance of the moment." It supports readers in discovering a more honest, true and natural way of being that will allow them to be increasingly effective and satisfied in all aspects of their lives." -- Common Ground Magazine, Dec.- Feb. 1999-2000
