As with others of his books, I found this book both easy to read, and highly instructional.  Its practical, and universal nature appeals to me.  I especially enjoyed Dr. Bitkoff's way of telling the story and then, from time to time, stepping out of the story line to provide insights into the Teachings.  This little book is filled with nuggets of wisdom.  I struggled over which to include here, and chose to simply quote his proposed structure for living an "original life."

 "If you wish to live an original life and fulfill your own, individual destiny, follow these principles.

- Strive to lead a balanced life and avoid excess.
- Enter into the mainstream of your community. Strive to become an `ordinary' citizen within the society you find yourself.
- Seek to help others.
- Say the prayer of submission each morning and evening. Prayer is intended as a joy not a burden.
- Follow the religion of your birth and fully embrace it. This is a starting point for more advanced spiritual study. If you are not able to follow the religion of your birth then say the prayer of submission or seek another Path.
- Abstain from mind altering drugs and stimulants. Rarely use alcohol.
- Follow your heart wherever it may lead you. You have a Life Plan and must learn to follow it. You do this by listening to your heart.
- Spiritual learning is part of life. It is intended as a center from which to come forward. Lead a complete life. Use all of your abilities.
- Avoid people who are obsessed. Be someone who is not "weird" and is normal. Try to be someone whom you would trust.
- Remember to trust yourself. You have everything you need inside of you; you have been given enough for the journey. Listen to your higher self -it knows your Life Plan.
- Make your way to the teacher.
- Remember, travelers are different and there are many paths. Find your own path; embrace and follow it."

The beauty is in the universal nature of these teachings.  It doesn't matter what path you follow, these principles can help guide the way.

If you are seeking, I highly recommend this book.

This is a different kind of golf book. It focuses on the mind thought process more than the technical skills of the swings. I enjoyed and has helped me focus more prior to and during the swing. It is simple to understand with emphasis on not placing an emphasis on too many swing thoughts. There is a universe connection theory that it a bit abstract (maybe I have yet to fully understand and/or appreciate) and takes a conscience effort in implementing. Overall though, Al Owens does fine work in the art of thinking and feeling while swinging the club.

I'd like to give 4 and 1/2 stars, but I'm rounding up because I had fun. Gala Darling is a legend in her own mind, but that's OK because she wants you to be, too! Her suggested system of self-love is using affirmations, a tried and true technique from the New Age era, and meditation, which is always a good idea. She references Echart Tole and Louise L. Hay but she's done the research here, all you have to do is follow her directions. She focuses on all aspects of your well-being from dating etiquette to  body positive thinking and as far as this type of book goes, this one is the most fun I've seen, similar in tone to SARK's books and posters. She wants you to live a happy, magical life and gives you the tools and the encouragement to create the life you want. Do the "Homework" and you'll see some improvement, no doubt, She has a ton of stuff on her website for those who want to delve further into her sparkly world view and she invites you to share your progress at #rslbook on Instagram, She already has a community of friends and is positive and interactive so you know you're not in this life alone. I'll be recommending her book to friends because its charm will bring a smile to their faces as a little more magic into their lives every day.

Novosel's book makes an excellent point about how having good tempo in your golf swing will produce many benefits.  Many golf instruction books give lip service to the concept of tempo, but I don't think anybody has ever explained it like this before and provided a rhythm track for you to practice with.  He debunks the old saw about "swing slow" or "slow down your swing" etc. and shows how a slow swing actually allows a lot of counterproductive and inefficient movements to creep into your swing.  When you swing with good consistent tempo every time, as do most PGA players, you improve the efficiency of your swing and you improve the likelihood of hitting the ball the same way every time.  Of course, you have to have decent swing mechanics as well, and this book does not purport to teach mechanics.

Charlotte and Gene collaborate to help us wake from the dream with a smile.

All this book is about a simple movement which makes the rest of the swing completely automatic: It is moving your left shoulder back and for around your spine. It helps to simplify the swing, and more important: It really works!! It is pure geometry, and you will see the results after some practice: your ball contact will be more crispy and solid from the moment you start to use it. It is quite the same movement as it is explained in an ebook by Noel Thomas, The Golf Swing and Its Master Key Explained.

This CD has a great musical aspect to it but there are other natural sounds too. The Hemi-Sync signals help you to a natural meditative state where you can go wherever you want. It is fun and interesting to listen to the CD with a specific intention. That can really catapult your experience.

I highly recommend this for anyone who would like a somewhat mystical experience through music.

McTeigue has done it again.  I consider his previous work, The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, to be a classic among full swing instruction books.  His new book on putting has the same feeling of distilled wisdom:  simple, straightforward, telling you all you need to know and nothing you don't. By following Mike's Bulletproof system, I am putting better and having more fun on the greens.  Well done!

We are all have illusions set in front of us and we all have the choice of whether or not to believe illusions that don't allow us to be all we are capable of.

The first major lesson put firmly in my head through this book is that I can choose to drop the illusion that I'm a self-limited, ground-pecking chicken (as deemed by others when I was a child), and choose to live as the self-liberating, regally soaring eagle that I truly am (figuratively speaking, of course).

You, too, can choose to drop the negative illusions heaped upon you and be the amazing creature you truly are.  Choices and Illusions will help you learn just how to do that.

Tour tempo literally kept me from quitting golf. Before reading the tour tempo book I had read every just about every thing written on the golf swing with little or no improvement! I come to golf from a baseball background. Having played baseball at a very high level for many years, and coaching baseball for even longer I am a student of the baseball swing, and love teaching it. My love of the baseball swing has naturally moved to the golf swing. In my quest for a perfect golf swing I began reading every thing I could find on the swing. This is not an exaggeration but I have read every golf digest magazine sense the 1970's. I have tried every golf tip there is and have tried just about every golf swing training aid out there. Despite all my study and hard work my golf swing did not improve, and not matter how hard I tried I could never hit that stupid little golf ball that did not move like I could a baseball. The more I read, and the more tips and swing thoughts I put into my head the worse my swing got! I could not understand how I could hit a 90 mile an hour fast ball 320 feet but could not hit this stationary ball more then 200 yards. I had just about given up on golf when I stumbled upon the tour tempo book. I read the book in a day. Every thing in the book made sense to me. I realized that I would never be successful with a 20 point check list of swing thoughts running through my mind, which is what I had constantly running through my mind. Tour Tempo taught me to get rid of the 20 point check list. If you have faith in the 3:1 ratio that Mr. Novosel has developed your swing will naturally have the correct tempo. As I worked with the 3:1 ratio tones I immediately discovered that my mind was free. I was able to let my body swing to a perfect tempo. Tempo is the key to any stick and ball sport. Any good baseball player knows that tempo and timing is the key to being a good hitter. This in no different in golf. The best golfers in the world have a repeatable measurable tempo. The beauty of the Tour Tempo book in system allows all golfers of every level to tap into that perfect tempo that is required for pure golf shots. Tempo has never been taught before now. Mr. Novosel has found how to teach tempo, by teaching golfers how to program their inner clocks if you will. There is no 20 point check list that you have to follow.

Working with the Tour tempo tones and establishing a pre shot routine that matches those tones has allowed me to completely transform my game. I went from shooting in the 100's to shooting in the 80's. Distances for every club in my bag have gotten longer. My ball flight went from a fade slice to a draw. I find more fairways and hit more greens, best of all my mind is free. I have not played golf with a swing thought sense I read the Tour Tempo book and started practicing with the tour tempo tomes. Tour tempo has helped me learn the feel of an effective swing, not the theory behind it. The cool thing about Tour Tempo for me is that with Tour tempo I do not have to worry about what starts my back swing, where I am at the top, or what triggers my forward swing. These things happen naturally, reflectively  and more importantly instinctively.  The Y and L drills in the book are the only things I have ever had to work on. Ingraining the tones are all I need.

I guarantee if you spend a month practicing and incorporating the tones and establishing your pre shot routine that is based on the tones your golf game will be transformed. Just like baseball golf is 90% mental. Get out of your own way and let tour tempo take control!

I have been golfing for 50 years. On a very good day I can break 80. I am a 100% arms hitter. I have had numerous lessons, some from well known teachers. None of them taught the passive arms approach which to me makes swinging the golf club a lot easier.

Most of the golf instruction I have read or seen describes the golf swing in a large number of complex coordindinated movements of hands, arms and body. Mike McTeigue does a great job of describing the passive arms method which instantly had me hitting the ball with better timing and less effort than my active arms approach. It seems counter intuitive that passive arms could work so well. The advantages of this method is you will learn a correct and well coordinated golf swing by mastering just a couple of movements.

I purchased the digital downloads of the book and the video. I strongly recommend the video, which although made in 1986, does a great job of describing in detail how to master the passive arms swing. I now realize I spent 50 years trying to master the wrong way to hit a golf ball.

I've always wanted to be in the circus -- performing under the big top with the plum-smuggling club jugglers and those bendy girls who can eat lunch off their own rear ends.

But I always figured my lack of talent, fumbly fingers, fear of heights, generous size, brittle joints, two left feet, terrible aim and severe caramel corn allergy would keep me out of the show forever. Until I came to Amazon and realized everything I need to fulfill my clown-shoed dream is available right here.

My favorite part of the circus is all the aerial acts -- artists swooping back and forth and looping overhead like a flock of graceful, wingless non-pooping birds. I'll have to work my way up to the hard stuff, but I bought this swing to practice some basic moves -- flips and throws and somersaults, nothing too difficult.

Unfortunately, I live in a condo, and I don't have anywhere outside to tie it up. So I asked my wife if I could hang it on the shower rod, and practice stunts in the bathroom. She said I could put it there just as soon as I could do a running backflip and land in the tub. So I tried.

That didn't go well.

When I'd mostly healed, I suggested that since we already had the swing, maybe we could just hang it in the shower for more... 'romantic' pursuits.

She said I'd have to do a DOUBLE backflip for that. So it looks like I'm going to need a good chiropractor -- whether I manage to land this move or not.

A great club to add to anyone's set who doesn't have an option for the sand or close approach shots in lieu of a pitch or gap wedge

Great book for the person who is ready to go au-natural with wild game, nuts, and other non grocery store items

very good book explaining the golf swing. the unique part is that it teaches the swing by feel, not memorizing positions and trying to think of them and do them when you're on the course. Instead, you learn the feel of the golf shot by doing, a step at the time. Once you master a section, move on to the next which is the same thing only a bigger swing motion. Again, you are learning the feel. When you get to the golf course you are summoning up the feel of the swing. If you are too mechanical, get this book!
