Coming from a science background I started off being very skeptical about the book, but I have to say this book really is great and I saw results once I got off my butt and actually did the work. Just reading the book and not doing the exercises obviously doesn't help much.  Lynch uses a combination of coaching techniques along with a clinically proven acupressure technique to help you realize your own inbuilt thoughts about money and income that are holding you back and then helps you change them. This was especially eye opening to me as I have always thought of myself as a "normal" person with an "average" income coming from a "normal" childhood so going into this I was convinced I really didn't have any subconscious thoughts blocking my financial progress. Needless to say I soon realized that wasn't the case and that my blocks about wealth were so firmly placed in my mind that I didn't even realize I had them.

This isn't a great book to read if you are expecting a "magic pill" which will make your life fabulously abundant with minimal to no work on your end.  This is the book for those of us who are serious about changing our own internal programming which has so far been stopping us from pursuing and achieving the bombastic growth we desire.

I am about 2/3 of my way through this book, and got side-tracked into dealing with health issues because they became critical, however I wanted to describe how helpful this book has been to me.

I was already researching the Cutler chelation protocol for myself and my 2 kids when I came upon this book, so much of the information was not new to me with regards to that. However, I found it a real eye-opener when it came to other methods of detoxification, and the importance of liver, kidney, bowel and parasite cleanses. This really motivated me to make a start, and while I am still preparing to chelate, I felt empowered to immediately do a kidney/liver detox and start some green smoothies and PB shakes, and a parasite cleanse. I found I overcame issues that have troubled me for years in a matter of weeks! I found the section discussing adrenal fatigue and thyroid and the "muscle-testing" stuff really helpful and interesting. I have used Dr. Rind's website information with great results, so this was awesome.

I do have to agree that it can get a little long-winded at times. I guess that is the diary-style of it, and maybe that is not such a criticism, but I found at times I was struggling to find information among the rambles and had to read over bits closely until I found them again.
However, that is a very minor criticism, and don't let that put you off getting this book.  I felt the good stuff made it still worthy of 5 stars. Really - if you are considering chelation or trying to wrap your head around where to begin with detoxing (mercury especially, of course!) then I think this book is a GREAT place to start.

I know I will come back to it many times along the path to wellness....

I saw Lyn-Genet Recitas on Dr. Oz and she really made a lot of sense to me.  She runs a clinic in NYC that has more than 2,000+ patients yearly.  After being on the Plan (I'm 65) for 10 Days, I lost 5# and felt so much better.  Yes, you do need to do prep work that is different than normal, her recipes for sauces that make things very tasty (Coco sauce w/coconut milk, delish), and vege preparations that take time, but so worth it when you get on the scale and when you start to feel really great!!  I had to take time off after 10 days because of dental and personal things, so am starting it over today.  Maintained my weight loss. I love that I can discover during these weeks what I am reactive to foodwise and really enjoyed watching the scale go down almost every day.  Don't hesitate to purchase.  I downloaded first and started reading on Kindle, then bought the book for easy recipe viewing.  I am thrilled to have found something that truly works.

I read this book 2 or 3 times the first week after I received it.  After being in a slump for several weeks, the book seemed to get me back on track.  It inabled me to learn more about my particular style in  conjunction with where I should stand and throw.  The mathmatical approach  has benefitted my game a great deal.  In addition, the description of the 8  typical lane conditions and how to adjust to them is invaluable.  The main  thing I learned, the fun is in the journey.  Concentrate on execution and  the scores will come.  Where before, I was worried more about getting  strikes.  Also, the information on tracking lanes helped me focus more on  me than what the lanes were doing.  If you can't execute and hit your  marks, then the scores will not come.  It helped me become honest with  myself and to practice better execution.  It's not the lanes, it's the  attitude and adjustment abilities.  Over the last two weeks, I've averaged  right at 225.  My league average before the book is right at 200 and now  I'm making a run to improve.  The first week I shot 608.  The second week I  shot 737.  It is definately worth buying if you are serious about pushing  your game to another level

I'm writing this review about 10 months after reading this book and I am happy to say that I am currently a non-smoker.  A friend of mine had quit and recommended it to me so I thought "why not?"  I didn't actually think that a book would help me quit but it really really did.  Obviously you still have to make the commitment to yourself to quit and follow through but if you're serious about quitting this is the book for you.  I tried quitting before with Nicorette and failed miserably and it took me 3 years just to work up the courage to try and quit again.  You know how it goes... the guilt, the family let downs that you re-started, etc etc. For some reason this book just called me out on a lot of the rationalizations that I made to myself and really helped me get over the stigma of "quitting smoking" which was hanging over my head.  It's like everything could be going amazing but because I was still a smoker there was always a little black cloud over my head.  I am so happy now that I quit and can't see myself ever getting caught in that trap again.  I'd recommend this book to women who really do want to quit and maybe have already tried other methods of quitting in the past that didn't work.  You can do it!!

This book was very helpful.  I was goint to spend $600 doing a detoxification, including supplements and hydrotherapy. But I decided to buy Dr. Jensen's book and try the 11 day detoxicification he writes about on my own.  It was a great success.  I feel healthier and learned a lot about my body.  I also lost 14 pounds and look foward to staying on this healthy path.

I admit, it has taken me 18 months to read Turning Terrible into Terrific, as I really got into the exercises therein and did them over and over until I really FELT and understood what I was doing, so I would have the results I was seeking; then I'd move on. Sometimes having Autism Spectrum Disorder has its setbacks, but in this case it really helped me to go deep and make a shift. I am amazed with the clarity I have in life now. Before, I was frightened, confused, scared of my own shadow. Now . . . I could care less what others do around me. Their life is theirs. I LOVE my life! Things aren't perfect, and I do get setbacks now and again just like the next person, but I truly am grateful for Dennis and the wisdom he has had in putting this program together. He is a God send, a great mentor, and a friend.

Just a brief history of how this book found me . . .

December 2012 - After many years of soul searching, listening to many audio books and many failed attempts to get out of a terrifying situation, I finally dug my heels in and did the scariest thing in my life; Left an abusive marriage to protect myself and my three sons from years of abuse. Not only from my former spouse, but many of his family members. Then in June 2013 - I was finalizing my divorce in Idaho, had just sold my home (court ordered) and was homeless . . . destitute. I was broken inside and lost. A dear mentor and friend, now my precious husband told me to do what ever it took to get to Florida and go to an intensive workshop that changed his life. With trust and faith, I did just that.

I met Dennis in Orlando, Florida where he was the lead trainer for Peak Potentials Millionaire Mind Intensive. Amazed with the energy and life changing activities we did there, I was hellbent on changing my life. I wanted to find the happiness and success that Dennis told us about during the MMI. Each time an opportunity arose to sign up for a class or camp that the company offers, I was at the back table . . . willing to do anything to change my life. I was even willing to sell my van, washer & dryer, lawn mower, plus anything else to take advantage of that change I so desperately wanted.

Then Dennis gave me a gift of a lifetime . . . a full ride scholarship to the Enlightened Warrior Training Camp in Squamish, BC. He gave me his book and assured me that because of my drive for success, and the willingness to take action, I WOULD live my dreams. And I believe him! After everything was said and done at MMI, and I had met many wonderful people who congratulated me, I was promised by many people that they would help me. One pastor told me he'd love to send my kids & me on a vacation. Another man said that he'd help me with my airfare to the EWTC. There were many wonderful people there. I knew things would be ok.

The remainder of the Summer I stayed at my parents home in Missouri and worked on the farm and other odd jobs to save up for my return home. I paid the expedited fee to get my passport and received the pay for selling my home and split up the funds like I had learned at MMI. I only had enough to pay for rent, utilities, and deposit; so I called in on the favors promised me to cover my trip to EWTC. NO ONE HELPED ME! Everyone had one excuse or another why they couldn't fulfill their promise to help. I had a decision to make, and like Dennis talks about in his book over and over . . . I took action. I used the money I had to get my airfare and went to EWTC. I was blown away by what I experienced there! I AM good enough! I AM amazing! I AM worth it!

I still have my struggles, but I know I WILL be financially free in the near future. I am a warrior! I live my life with integrity! I do whatever it takes! Sometimes it may take me a little longer than someone else, but I WILL SUCCEED! If I can do it, you can too! If you're still wondering if you should get this book, take action now! And you'll be glad you did too!

Thank you Dennis!

This really is incredible and life-changing.  I'm in my late 30's and have been struggling with weight gain since having two children over the past four years.  Somehow most of the weight collected in my tummy area and people would sometimes ask me if I was expecting.  When I tried dieting and exercising, there were minimal results.  I felt that perhaps I was one of those women who just get fat after having children and that I might be better off resigning myself to that fact than starving myself or doing insane amounts of exercise for little benefit.  Even doing low-carb diets wasn't that helpful and I was too miserable without the carbs.  I gave this a try and had pretty instantaneous results, even though I followed the diet only loosely.  I didn't make most of her recipes (I don't think they're very tasty, even the coco sauce), but I did at least constrain my ingredient list to conform with those in her recipes for the first three days.  I lost 3 pounds during the cleanse.  Then I started eating my regular foods for a few days because of special occasions and I gained a pound, but I lost more weight after I resumed eating based on her ingredient list.  I was thrilled to discover that I'm not sensitive to gluten and can in fact lose significant weight while eating carbs and even junk food!  I ended up losing 10 pounds in less than 2 months after discovering a couple of other sensitivies early on, to things I consumed every day and assumed were healthy.  I would probably lose even more weight if I followed the plan closely and started working out again, but I'm pretty happy with what I've lost so far without any real dieting (aside from eliminating the two things I was sensitive to) or any exercise whatsoever.  I've also been sleeping so much better!  I think the science behind this is totally unclear, and I find the author's tone a little annoying at points, but I'm a total believer and am recommending this book to everyone.

I have recently come off the diet and must say it is the best thing i've done for myself. It's amazing how Mr. Burrough's teaches the use of common sense. Everything he mentions in the book happen while on the diet which leaves no surprises. The weight melted off and the mucous that left my body was incredible. After the third day my energy level went through the roof and the detox began. The most important thing he mentions after coming off the diet is to adopt a whole natural unprocessed food regimen. I have done this and kept all the weight off even after 2 months. I have not eaten meat and did not crave it after the diet and can tell you i feel much better for it. I do beleive that meat has no place in the human body.
Thank you Mr. Burroughs wherever you are for changing my life. The lord will reward you if he already hasn't.

I read this book and followed Dr. Peak's advice and combined with about 10 hours of exercise a week, I was finally able to move my sluggish metabolism. I lost at least 2 pounds a week for several weeks ( a total of 12 lbs.) She also has great suggestions for eating on the run, what to carry with you at all times, (food and sneakers), etc.

 I just had to rebut some of the skeptical reviews I saw earlier here. You won't be wasting your money with this book. And I am not a shill for the book or Amazon. I am a former Weigt Watcher, Scarsdale, Atkins, and every other diet you can imagine vetern. This book really helped me.

I have been sort of a time management junky the last few years and read all the books even paid thousands for time management seminars, but this one after reading it time and time again I continue to pick up great techniques and tips that have seriously reduced stress in my life and allowed me to get way more done. I really can say this book has changed my life in more ways than one so would recommend it to you if your wanting to get more time and do whats really important to you.

I picked up this book because I was at a standstill for weight loss.  I had tried over the past 2 months to increase protein and cut out carbs and even ramped up exercise to 6 days per week and the scale wasn't moving after the initial first week of dieting.  So I picked up this book because I thought I had killed my metabolism.  This book makes sense.  It is designed to confuse your system to get it to work properly so you can lose the weight.  It was hard to cut out sugar, dairy, wheat, caffeine, nitrates,alcohol but not impossible.  I have lost 8 lbs so far and just started Week 3 yesterday. I also am only exercising 3 days a week!  While we don't need to count calories, I actually loaded in my calories to figure out what I was putting in and found that on high protein days my calories are in the 800's and on high carb days 1,100 and on the mixed days with adding fats in are around 1,300.  I am not hungry at all because I'm constantly eating 2-3 hours.  I was already doing this before but eating cheese or yogurt as my snack and my calories in where pretty similar and was not able to lose weight and now I am.  It just shows that this combination is working for my body type. I also have eaten foods on days I should not have like broccoli in phase 3 and brown rice (only allowed in phase 1).  I'm hoping that now I'm in week three and am more aware of what is in each of the phases (getting the iphone ap is very helpful) I will be able to make sure I don't eat the wrong thing and lose more weight. I'm hoping that I can have 14-15 lbs off in the 28-days.  Then move into Phase 4 or maintenance!  This is a book that you should try.  It works!

I have been working with Stu and the principles behind his book for over a year now and have had great results.  That is what matters RESULTS.  If you are looking for a no nonsense, not overly complicated and time consuming plan - than this is for you. I have been trying to lose these 40 lbs for years and tried everything, (biggest loser plan, weight watchers) you name it I tried it and nothing worked. I saw Stu's program advertised in the local paper and thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did!  I feel and look fabulous. Stu was there with me every step of the way, with motivation, tips to get over a plateau, challenging but fun workouts and he was a good friend when I needed it. Stu was more than a personal trainer who counted reps and made sure you used good form - he gets to really know his clients to give them the best workout and nutrition plan possible.  I highly recommend his book if you have been struggling to lose those last 40 lbs (like me) or just want sound fitness advice.

I've probably bought about 100 books in the self-improvement category in the last fifteen years. About ten of those books are ones that really changed my thinking and my life. This book is one of the ten.
The premise of this book is that success is a byproduct of your growth as a person. That by focusing on your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, you naturally become more attractive to yourself and others. And by being attractive, you naturally PULL success to you. However "impractical" this may sound, it really works. I seen it work in my own life and in the lives of others.
This is a very different approach to success if you believe that you have to fight and scrape to succeed. I used to feel success was a constant zero-sum battle and my success came at a great cost to my health, relationships, and peace of mind. In all honesty, the approach described in this book, not only works, but it works better than the old "success at any cost" philosophy. It does require some willingness to suspend judgement and try some things that feel uncomfortable but for me, it's been worth it.
The book also suggests plenty of practical steps you can do immediately to begin seeing results. Also check out related tools at Thomas Leonard's website. There's a lot of great stuff there.

I noticed a considerable difference in my life after reading this book.  I ordered 2 more of them for my kids because I didn't want to part with my copy.  It is the only book I ever read twice and I am sure I will read it at least a couple more times.  I was unable to make effective decisions in my life, but she clearly delt with this and I knew it right away.  I made some rather big changes and I feel so good about it...  I am amazed that a book could do so much for me.  I highly recommend this book.

I have read a lot of self-help books but this one is different.  It really captures a process that works!  I have completed the assignments in the book and I can attest to the fact that this process was transformational for me.  I don't feel stuck in "victim" mode anymore and I feel empowered to live the life I want.  Another big difference for me is that joy isn't a fleeting experience anymore - I can trust the joy now and I feel at ease with it.  This has been a powerful journey.  Thank you Allen!!

I was fed up of all these "great" diets I would try not working.  I had been slowly gaining about 5 pounds each year.  I'd been eating nothing but food that said it was low-fat and exercising, but that didn't make me lose weight.  I got really depressed about it.  People (especially family)  would say I wasn't trying hard enough at it.  I heard about this book through word of mouth and figured "why not?  I've tried about everything else".  I found myself relating to a lot of the questions he'd ask.  After about the first or second chapter I realized that this diet was intended for someone like me.  I'm really happy with the results I'm seeing.  So far I've lost 10 pounds and my husband has lost weight too.  I would definitely recommend this book.
