Once I was lost (in the chaos & controversy), but now I am found, thanks to the matter-of-fact, no-nonsense guidance that this book offers!  As an employed American (without being eligible for my companys insurance coverage for another 5 months) I thought Id better figure out what Im supposed to do with the newly arriving Obamacare system.  I don't understand, nor do I really care about, the politics, I just wanted to figure out what Im supposed to do now.  Thank goodness for the straight-forward explanation (and practical background info) that this book offers!  I feel confident that I can now make informed decisions and easily navigate through the chaos!

I get lost in sad thoughts and tangled in my own stress, so I picked this book to help me out. I tried to follow their plan and I'm happy to report improvement! The book walks you through some common unhappiness pitfalls, all a result of ignoring the present by being too lost in the past, over-analyzation, etc. It teaches meditations to help you let go and find a peaceful place. I still listen to some of them at night to calm my racing thoughts. It's an eight week plan to de-stress your life and it works if you're committed and follow their instructions. This book opened my eyes and helped me help myself!

What a deliberately healing creation to help us anxious folks take a break and breathe !  Just the sound of Donna's velvet voice can calm me down and I am not easily calmed !  I use this recording in the afternoon to relax and recharge;  it is like a big beautifully -wrapped gift that I get to unwrap regularly. The daily reminder of my greater  'intention' helps me refocus  towards my goals even when I am feeling scattered.

HeatherAsh Amara has created a wonderful meditation cd. She lead you through guided meditations to bring out the best in you.  Her voice is very soothing and reassuring.  I love this cd.

I found this book in a time of great need and personal crisis.  Note, a crisis doesn't have to be a big, instantanous event like a death or divorce.  It could just be a nagging unhappiness or feeling that things "aren't right" that is eating you up.  Either way, this book applies.

It helped me tremendously and I have since given this book to several friends in crisis.  Regardless of the nature of what you are going through, it can help.  If you have a friend that you are worried about but don't know how to help, this book might help them.

It is written in a very real, accessible way (no chanting or meditating necessary!) that is non-threatening to people who may not be used to reading "self-help" books.

I do not know if authors regularly read these reviews, but Laura Day, if you ever read this, thank you.  Know that you helped me to discover what I really want from life AND believe that I deserve it.

I love this CD! There is so much good information about staying positive and "on track" while on this planet. It's also a great way to wind down and relax. Listening to Louise's voice is very comforting.

It's a good, descent self help book that is simply written so the read is easily absorbed and you can actually get something out of it.
I would recommend to anyone going through a rough time in their lives where nothing seems to be in control. Teaches alot about detachment and minding your own business and how letting go brings about peace and happiness.  Very insightful from someone who has been there.

I liked Marc's book a lot and would recommend it to both people who are contemplating a career change and those in the throes of a career crisis.  In this quick read he offers a calming voice to the business of providing tools for --- well, not just reinventing yourself through a career, but also (possibly even) reinventing your life.

I am in the middle of the book.  The author is honest and open about her own struggles and gives practical spiritual advice to control your emotions.

A clear, concise guide that reads exactly as it advises - A pause from the chaos of 21st century life.  A gentle, encouraging prose invites the reader to unplug, sit back, remember to breath and engage in meaningful, personalized "MindWipe".

A delightful and refreshing pep-talk and reminder for those times when you need to lighten up.
I was going to say that it's good for when your mind is controlling you, rather than you controlling it...but that's not quite it...
Or for when you need to make that little voice in your head shut up already and let you live your life in peace...but that's not quite it either...
So I'll just say that Lisa and Franco's book is a light hearted, friendly and funny way to help get  some peace of mind and to enjoy life for a change.
Best of all, there's no homework, it doesn't take itself so desperately seriously -- a great accomplishment, because the authors very well know that not having peace of mind is a very serious concern.
I guess in this case, the medium really is the message -- a lighthearted way to help lighten up.
I whole-heartedly recommend it.

It's no secret that as human beings we face different trials and tribulations every day of our lives. Some of them lift us up, and others bring us down. For those of you looking for an escape from the latter, or simply a way to bring you "peace of mind," this book offers a method and strategy that will be unfamiliar to many readers. I bought it on a whim hoping for good results, and much to my surprise, I found them. If you're feeling down or like you simply can't take it anymore, this book is for you. An excellent read for those in need.

A voice that reminds us to take a step back and remember our past mistakes and not see "progress" as a move towards the end of the world.

For those of you who feel lost and need a guiding light, this book definitely provides that sense of guidance and hope that we all so desperately need at times.  Through 21 chapters, Juntitila shows his readers how to let go of their fears and follow their hearts.  He covers quite an array of topics, including, Notice Your Reactions, where he helps you not to be so quick to anger or irritation, Open Your Heart, where he reminds you that everyone could use a smile in their direction, Make Right Decisions, where he shows you how to make the right decisions thoughtfully, not on impulse, etc.

The chapters are very short and easy to relate to (only 3 pages each), which made reading a breeze.  It was also refreshing that the author spoke directly to the reader, not in the lecture fashion that would have turned this book sour.  I definitely feel a major difference within myself after reading Follow Your Heart.  I feel calmer and think more rationally about feelings when processing certain situations and if you are someone who, like me, felt lost and needed reassurance that you're not alone, read this book.  It just may give you the epiphany youve been searching for, because after all, what is a happy life without following your heart?

This is one of the best books that have the ability to put me right in the meditation mood , the serenity that I need to cope with the chaos of a stressful everyday life. Coupled with great and calm voice of narration (it comes together with my Kindle Unlimited package) it's a perfect way to start a new day with a fresh mind, also end a day of stress so that you don't bring that stress to your sleep.
One of my essentials.
Highly recommended!
