This book was given to me as a present - I would not have dreamt of buying it myself!
What can I say but that the thought process (seasoned with narcissism and treacled with worship of the self) which underpins this little book goes against all that I hold dear.
Further, it is downright bizarre and borders on the offensive at times. I will quote from it liberally below to support what I have said. Pseudo-religion for the bourgeoise, complacent and self satisfied.
"We are each responsible for all our experiences" (page xiii)
This is plainly wrong. We possess a human nature which is subject to the vagaries of the external world - famine, disease, earthquakes. These are simply ... Read More:

I recently completed a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology to go along with a Diploma in Swedish Massage and I was told that this was the best book to buy to give me the necessary information to complete my assignments. It's very easy to use but it is very basic information and does not go into enough detail in most places. I had to go and buy other books to get the level of detail that I needed, as did every other person on my course. I wouldn't recommend to buy this book as I don't think it's worth the money and just use a library copy if you really need it.

These are my first Doreen Virtue purchase. I needed something to help me SLOW the pace of life and take stock of things. I got these cards a week ago and I have found them to be really precise and accurate. The first time I used them I asked for help with a situation and the card I chose was totally relevant and I kept it with me all day and I followed the advice. I think they have helped me and now I use them before I go to work and It is something I look forward to. I like to look at the illustrations which are are beautiful. Plus the cards are a lovely size. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

Now i know what all my crystals are for. Would be nice if the index was made of mini pictures as I didn't know what my crystals were all called. The book contains info on all the crystals I have ever seen. (Thats lodes)

Me = Medical student, and this anatomy poster really hit the standard for me. I thoroughly recommend the Anatomical Chart Company's posters, which are very high print quality, at full anatomical detail (and split into layers such as muscular, skeletal and visceral). It's by Lippencott, so if you're a medic, nurse or someone who just really wants to know anatomy (as well as looking uber-clever with such posters up in your room) this is what you want. The print is clearly labelled, using standard anatomical terminology (no wierd latin), and is in full english (I bought another anatomy poster via Amazon which was a quarter English :-( ). The price is decent considering what you're getting, and the multiple views you get are really good. Happy customer, and more ... Read More:

Affirmations cannot be dressed up as antyhing else, and ever since the first time we heard "Each and every day I am becoming better and better, etc," this seems to have caught on. A daily spoonful of Louise's special medicine is going to make 2008 a better year. Having had a peep at what is in store makes me want to absorb it all in one go.

This is a very well researched book on the nature of reality. He shows scientific experiments to prove the existence of an underlying field of energy which he calls the Divine Matrix. Braden postulates that we all affect this 'Matrix' with our thought and emotion - we are all a part of this matrix - all interconnected (and he proves it!).
To the new comer and even those who have heard of this material before, the proof can be quite startling (and inspiring). We are this Matrix he refers to - this is the proof he supplies and not only that - but we can consciously 'connect' or become aware of this Divine Matrix in our own awareness - thought provoking stuff?
Another good guide to experiencing the truth of this divine matrix comes from the equally ... Read More:

Really all the word "God" means is "Good" as in "Positive Energy"! So there doesn't have to be anything religious about the term!
As always Doreen has produced a great work.
I do the morning and evening meditations daily if I can. The change it sets in motion is on a very deep level which you don't notice at first. Then you begin to notice little things happening all around you. Perhaps your mood or energy level lifts, your environment and the people around you are more positive, you find yourself in the midst of positive joyful experiences, you have a clarity of mind that you didn't have before. It is as if practicing a meditation like this one opens a floodgate somewhere and you become drenched in healing energy and light.
For anyone wishing to use essential oils to treat minor ailments this book really is the one to buy. The writer gives recipes for making your own blends. There really is a wealth of information in this well-researched and well-written book.

This book is an excellent introduction to an interesting but difficult subject. Filled with diagrams and colour dissection pictures I would highly recommend it as an accompaniment to a medical course in Neuroanatomy. At times the sentence structure could be clearer, but overall a very good investment for medics in their early career.
