Book Description
This is not another one–size fits all program with strict rules and baffling instructions. One of the leading voices for holistic living, Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out is an accessible, down–to–earth guide that shows us what our bodies and minds truly need and how to make the best decisions for our daily lives. Dividing the program into four foundational areas, we can isolate the issues we all face and start making the necessary changes.
Food: What we eat and drink affects every part of our lives, from our energy level to our body shape. First by distinguishing what foods make us feel and act our best, we can then learn how to integrate a flavorful yet super nutritious diet into of our regular life.
Exercise: Exercise not just to stay in shape but to stay connected to ourselves. By putting the emphasis on quality not quantity, we learn to nurture ourselves, stay grounded, and transform our mental, emotional, and physical state a little bit each day.
Home: Too often where we live echoes the clutter and chaos of the outside world. Learn how to make our homes a place where we can rest, recharge, and refocus, a haven for the balanced life we (and our families) seek.
Silence: In our super noisy world, bringing quiet reflection into our lives slows down the rush, helps us learn the empowering skill of observation, and ultimately can guide us into healthier habits and behaviors.

Useful Guide to Healthy Living.......2007-09-16
I enjoyed this book so much, I bought it for my friends as gifts and they've all really loved it. Being in my early forties with children, it is nice to have a book that helps you slow down and live a more peaceful and healthy lifestyle.
Great Book.......2007-07-25
This book is a wonderful book to read, talks about the women body and living healthy. I own RC Duct Cleaning an Air Duct Cleaning Company and I am always concerned with my health as well as that of people around me so I would definately recommend this book.
Healthy Living: Stop and Tune In to YOU.......2007-06-09
I recently had Mariel on my LifeBites Radio show. This book is a great reminder that all of us need to slow down and look inside. I think she does a great job of breaking it down into four areas - Eating, Exercise, Being Quiet and Home Environment. All of these areas affect how you live your life. I also appreciated her ability to be candid about her struggles in life. She doesn't claim to have all the answers, but inspires you to look inside.
Disappointed.......2007-05-28
I purchased this item and sent 2 as gifts after seeing Mariel on television talking about the book. It was not what I thought, filled with buddha images. Being a Christian it was sent to Christians with no knowledge these were in the book.
Healthy Tips.......2007-05-18
I picked up this book because I read a number of good reviews here and was intrigued. There are some good tips here undeniably but I was bored reading this book. Many of these things I've heard or read before. One of the bigger turn offs for me was her "candor" about her obsessiveness whether with food or exercise. I'm sorry I couldn't really get into this book.

Pragmatic, useful ideas to improve the quality of your life.......2007-10-11
I loved this book because it offers very simple, very practical ideas that busy, busy people can use to improve the quality of their lives without having to make significant behavioral changes or significant time commitments. This type of counsel is hard to come by and very valuable. The book itself is a quick, easy read -- perfect airplane reading.
Manage Energy - great insight........2007-08-23
We need to manage our energy to perform the most important things. We often take our energy for granted and are not aware of our ebbs and flows.
We need to do the most important things when we have the most energy. We need to eat and sleep to have more energy. It originally comes from a sports performance model, but has been adapted for executives. It is also important as we grow older. Truely a new insight for me that unified a few things I ahve been learning.
Push Past Your Limit To Grow.......2007-06-04
I felt this book's main premise was a useful idea, but nothing novel. Expanding past one's limit, followed by a rest period resulting in growth whether physical or psychological. I liked the informational nature of the book, however, I didn't care much for the examples of actual people written about in it. I understand it is used to help prove the points, but it appeared to be fluff to me and I would have liked more information to drill the point home and more sources to back up the info.
Those opinions aside, it is worthwhile, to the point and contains enough information to satisfy reading it once, but I don't expect to re-read it.
Not a silly self-help book.......2007-05-17
At first look, the subtitle "Managing Energy, Not Time" smells of another 'just do this and your life will be great' self-help book. However, this book avoids most of the simplistic approaches other books take. Outlined is excellent, yet straightforward guidance on how to bring into balance a work life that is out of control or at least a bit out of whack. The simple advice given (which regretfully requires some basic self discipline - I prefer to avoid self discipline) is both helpful and if followed, effective. The book is relatively careful not to imply that applying its principles or introducing self discipline is easy. It is, however, unapologetic when suggesting that making a set of changes in how one manages one's life will make a difference. The book also lays out a very helpful distinction between one's energy and one's time - and it is a very helpful distinction - describing a truth that I had not before carefully considered. The book includes numerous case studies of actual people with which the authors have worked. I think you will be able to identify with a number of these case studies. If you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and/or lack balance in how your work life, home life, and downtime function, take a look at this book.
Disappointing.......2007-03-21
Nothing new here. Eat right, get plenty of sleep and drink your water and you too can have more energy. I have to agree with other reviewers that state that this book is poorly written. Instead of providing a method for creating your own energy plan, the authors give simple hazy case examples.

Excellent book for Biology GRE Preparation.......2007-10-07
Although it's not marketed this way, Schaum's outline is a concise yet complete study guide for the Biology GRE subject test. Topics like the endocrine system, plant evolution and development, and nutrition, which are given short shrift in the Princeton Review and Kaplan study guides, are fully covered in this book. More diagrams are provided (although there are no color figures - ditto for PR and Kaplan), as well as handy review tables. The explanations are at an appropriate level for GRE examinees: there is not too much extraneous information. Occasionally, the authors will throw in a humorous aside or phrasing (see def. of sexual selection, parts of Ch.17, etc.), which makes you pay closer attention, but overall the tone is serious (no BS analogies or condescension here).
At the end of every chapter are worked problems in essay and multiple choice formats. These questions cover GRE material but aren't presented in the same style. If you're using this book for GRE preparation, you should also consider buying a book with one or more practice tests in order to familiarize yourself with the exam format.
This Book's Got It All!.......2007-01-17
I bought this book to prepare the DAT. It helped so much and I couldn't have made it without it. I do recommend it, it's way better than those common books dealing with how to prepare the DAT, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, they're just not as specific as this one. Totally worth the money, go for it!
Useful book for recalling established knowledge.......2006-11-08
Well organized, full text book with essential topics on biology. Excellent tool for GRE exams and anyone with basic knowledge on biology, who needs a quick reviewing.
GOOD Reference, LOTS to Read.......2006-07-25
My favorite chapters included Kingdom Fungi, Photosynthesis,excretory system and structure and function of chloroplasta. Like a previous reviewer, I used this book to prepare for the biology section of the DAT (Dental Admission Test). This is a good reference, it explains with examples that get the facts to stick to your brain. Yes, it requires studying, but then again what subject doesn't?
Another great book I totally recommend is "The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations". Volumes 1,2 and 3. It is written by Patrick Leonardi. It is an excellent review for the biology portion of the DAT exam..
Too much information... Just make it simple.......2006-02-27
I was looking to get up to speed to teach an intro bio class for community college. After reviewing bio texts, I bought this book thinking that it would be a great summary, review and offer quiz questions for bio. I wanted it to be to the point, revelant, and a pithy supplement. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This book didn't highlight or sum up bio. It went into in-depth discussions that might be of interest to grad students. I looked at Biology the Easy Way and liked it much better.

Customer Reviews:
Energy Bus.......2007-10-16
The Energy Bus provides helpful information in a fun and easy reading/understanding/applying way.
I felt motivated and encouraged to use the lessons and have already started using them at work and in my personal life.
I do notice a positive difference in both.
Ride the Bus with Joy and see the difference in your life too!
The Energy Bus.......2007-09-23
A simple story with a powerful message. A wake-up story for all our lives.
Don't underestimate the powerful message in this small book.......2007-09-06
Jon Gordon is affable, upbeat, ampy and committed to changing the world with his message of positive energy. He is a speaker, a coach, and a consultant to companies large and small.
What the heck is positive energy? According to Jon, "No one goes through life untested and the answer to these tests is positive energy. Not the rah, rah, motivational, cheering kind of positive energy, although there certainly is a time and place for that as well. But rather when I talk about positive energy I'm referring to the optimism, trust, enthusiasm, love, purpose, joy, passion and spirit to live, work and perform at a higher level; to build and lead successful teams; to overcome adversity in life and at work; to share contagious energy with employees, colleagues and customers; to bring out the best in others and in yourself; and to overcome all the negative people (I call energy vampires) and negative situations that threaten to sabotage your health, family, team and success."
In The Energy Bus, Jon teaches us how to have the things he talks about above through a man named George. George is having a crappy time of life. We quickly learn that his life is a direct result of his choices-no surprise there. George happily plays the victim which allows him to wallow in his familiar misery complaining all the while. Everyone and everything is against George the way he sees it. But readers of The You Revolution know better. The people in George's life are frustrated and ready to pull out or kick him out if something doesn't change. Then George is forced to ride the bus to work for 14 days while his car gets repaired. Lucky for George his life is never the same.
Jon based this book on a true encounter he had with an airport shuttle bus driver. It seems Jon was not always The Energy Guy or positive about much of anything. This person started a change in Jon that he was inspired to share with others and the book really is a gem.
Don't be put off by the simplicity of the concept. Jon does a great job mirroring real life through real people. The books strength lies in the simplicity of his style and story. His lessons for George are summarized in his 10 Rules that make it easy to zero in on the ones that speak to you so you can put them into practice.
Regardless of where you are on the continuum of positive and in control regardless of what is happening in your life vs. life isn't fair and I'm going to eat some worms The Energy Bus is a quick, uplifting read. If you are sure you create your life and no one can throw you off a positive track then read it and just enjoy hearing how one man got his life back. If you are not sure that there is anything you can do about all the "stuff" that seems to "happen" to you and you feel beaten up by it all, then by all means read it and be open to the message. I'm going to let you in one a little secret. Jon Gordon has based this book loosely on himself. It seems Mr. Positive Energy was not always like this. He was a negative guy who felt like everything bad that could happen would happen to him. But he learned a few things along the way. He learned because he was at rock bottom but he was open and wanted something to change.
Although the book uses a business model for George and the concepts it is valuable for individuals as well as teams.
Sometimes something so simple comes along and we might dismiss it for that reason. Give this book a second look. You may find you are recommending it to a co-worker or sig other.
"Get onboard this bus!".......2007-08-23
Wow! This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is perfect for schools and educational themes. I encourage all principals to read it and think about using the bus ticket theme with their staff. Susan Bechtol, High School Principal
A fine parable for modern times.......2007-07-27
Readers of 'business fables' may find business secrets easier to absorb when they're embedded in the 'fable' format - and THE ENERGY BUS: 10 RULES TO FUEL YOUR LIFE, WORK, AND TEAM WITH POSITIVE ENERGY is no exception. It tells of a frustrated manager forced to take the bus to work - there to find a new breed of character in the form of bus driver and patrons who discuss everything from the effects of negativity on project management goals to cultivating the habit of building positive energy. A fine parable for modern times, especially for frustrated business managers seeking new pathways for team development, and for the libraries catering to them.

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.
Very Interesting.......2007-03-07
It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Not the book to buy if you are looking to learn Reiki........2007-09-22
I was disappointed in this book, since I was hoping it showed Reiki technique. I am sure it is a good book if you are already a Reiki practitioner, but if you are wanting to learn Reiki to help your pets, this book will not help you.

I was so excited to receive this book only to discover that "each Reiki student should find the Master Teacher who resonates best with her philospoply and way of being in the world. ... If you have not learned Reiki, we hope this chapter has given you a starting point for talking with a prospective Reiki teachers about Reiki philosophy and practice."
This book lead me to believe that I could learn and practice Reiki on my pet. According to the back of the book, "Whether you're a newcomber to the field of energy medicine, . . ."
This book, I am sure is great for a Reiki master but it is not good for someome that does not know Reiki.
Horses an Reiki.......2007-05-12
As I am just starting into the animal Reiki area and this book by Elizabeth is a real god-send. I have had horses for over 35 years and the insight into the animal's mind/body by using Reike is whole new experience and I love it!
A Life Changing Book!.......2007-04-03
I was attuned to Reiki Level 1 and 2 back in 2001. Although I knew it was primarily used on humans, I wanted to utilize Reiki on animals. After several disappointing experiences with them, however, I gave up.
It wasn't until I "happened" across this book one day last year that I decided to try again. I ordered it from Amazon.com and read it from cover to cover in one sitting! I started applying the techniques in the book to the animals around me with miraculous results...I'm talking jaw dropping experiences!
Needless to say, this book has completely altered my path in life! I also started offering Reiki to animals in shelters and have now started my own Animal Reiki practice as well!
I do know that I would not be where I am today without this book!!!
Thank you both for a fabulous piece of work! Your souls shine through on each and every page and I cannot thank you enough for sharing yourselves and this invaluable information with the world!

Book Description
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHAKRA SYSTEM?
Many people focus on a single chakra - like the Crown Chakra for Spirituality, the Brow Chakra for Psychic Powers, the Heart Chakra for Universal Love, the Solar Plexus for Power (especially for those into the martial arts) and so on - each chakra's special attribute. And some people try to repress the 'lower' chakras as morally bad. BUT the real importance is to understand the chakras as The Energy System of the entire Mind/Body/Spirit Complex.
WHEELS OF LIFE presents the Chakra System as a Formula for Wholeness and a Template for Transformation - actually a Map for the Journey through Life
At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers called chakras. Swirling intersections of vital life forces, each chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives. Together the seven chakras form a system of modeling that consciousness that enables us to better see ourselves - in mind, body, behavior and culture. This system is a valuable tool for personal and planetary growth.
Chakras are centers of activity for the reception, assimilation and transmission of life energies. As all our action and understanding arise from and return to points within ourselves, our chakras, as core centers form the coordinating network of our complicated mind/body system. . . . The chakras are the master programs that govern our life, loves, learning and illumination. Like a rainbow bridge, they form the connecting channel between mind and body, spirit and matter, past and future, Heaven and Earth. As we spin through the tumultuous times of our present era, the chakras are the gears that turn the spiral of evolution, drawing our attention toward the still untapped frontiers of consciousness and its infinite potential. (from Chapter One)
Wheels of Life is a system about a system - journeying the reader through the seven major chakras with theory, example, practical application and experiential exercises to accomplish the great work of personal transformation. Each consciousness is a unit in the evolutionary process moving us from what we are to what we can become, and through that process we realize ourselves as magicians, healers and visionaries.
Wheels of Life takes us through each chakra to fulfill its potentials and then transforms and makes us whole.
The journey is taken step-by-step, with each step bringing practical advantages in the development of inherent skills and abilities to meet the increasingly critical challenges of life in our times. Your life is filled with meaning and purpose. Its destiny is Enlightenment. Now, you must take the first step.

Should have been called Anodea's thoughts on Chakras. .......2007-10-15
I bought this book , after reading all the reviews written by Yoga teachers on this page. I was kind of disappointed with the quality of information in the book in quite many ways.
This book preaches a lot of good and useful things , right from diet to exercise to visualization. I liked the concept of balancing of chakras for kids and would help guide new or to-be parents. Also the fact presented in the book that women are ignored in most yogic scriptures which explain self realization.
But, there are some major doubts on the main subject being discussed in this book.
1. The author has suggested that use of LSD or Marijuana might be good to get a glimpse of what to expect when higher chakras get excited. There is no mention of which research led her to conclude the same. Please Do not believe this!!
2. For every Chakra the author mentions the Tarot Suit, Sephira, Archangel names. But there is not mention of why is there this association.
3. There is no or very less reference to Kundalini power. I would have expected a chapter dedicated to this with detailed references to the Nadis in the appendix. Any serious book on chakras would do that.
4. Too much visualization and imagery , and a lot less information of
Mantra Yoga ( Chanting Yoga used to steady the mind ).
5. Well , Jogging a aerobic exercises have been suggested to help balance the chakras. I agree , aerobic exercises and weights are excellent workout ( I myself am a kettlebell fan ).But these activities actually
increase excitation and the author seems to have left out important information on Pranayama. Seems strange for a PHD and Yoga teacher.
6. Kapalabhati and Mool Bandha, Ashwini Mudra are for the first 3 chakras, the author mentions them only for the 3rd chakra, and that too with no mention to their sanskrit names or their meanings.
Well, I would suggest anyone who wants to seriously understand chakras , to look elsewhere.There is a wealth of information on the internet.
No book may give you all the knowledge, but atleast take care that it does not give you incorrect information. Every person find's his or her own way to self realization.
I dont believe, that to understand eastern philosophy, the author needs to mix it with western philosophy and vice-versa. They are different schools of thought and both of them can co-exist independently. A person wishing to understand either of them just needs to gain a better understanding of the perception of each philosophy before diving into the details. I am going to go further in my study to understand and realise the chakras, but I am done with this book.

barb's thoughts.......2007-08-11
This is an excellent introduction to the chakras. It is clear in it's instruction and it is detailed enough that it can be used as an excellent reference book through out your life.
A User's Guide to the Chakra System.......2007-03-24
I have been using this book as a learning tool in a class that is designed to help me with aligning my Chakra's. I am impressed with the various tools such as exercises, stretching and information. It is full of flowing information and each Chakra lesson fits nicely in with all of the others. My teacher has used this book for many years and hers is full of marked pages. I hope mine will be as lovingly used as I continue with learning about my Chakras.
Great Book.......2006-03-22
I used this book as a reference for a class I taught on Chakra Healing and Balancing. Wonderful info. from the Chakra expert Anodea Judith.
Great Reference Guide.......2006-03-09
This book is loaded with tons of useful information. I just purchased the book and have not finished reading it, but this is definately a book that I will always keep and use as a reference. The information is written in an easily understand manner and is very detailed with regard to each chakra.

good information.......2007-08-23
Don Colbert is an excellent source of spiritual and nutritional advice. This book is loaded with both. If you want to improve your health spiritually, mentally and physically, you want to read this book.
Good Info.......2007-08-13
This book has a lot of good information but I have to keep second guessing Dr Colbert because some of this is from left field. The book also made me feel very paranoid about everything consumed by the body, whether it's light, liquid, solid or air. I want to live in a bubble.
Good Theme, But Overdone.......2007-08-11
I purchased and read this book at the recommendation of a good friend. While I agree with Colbert's basic assertion that we need to eat healthier and avoid added chemicals, he goes off the deep end with a myriad of recommendations for organic food, juices, and other products to add to our diets. This title would have been MUCH better had he kept things simpler, not overwhelming the reader with so many radical changes.
Colbert's work here is definitely Christian in content and tone, but I deeply appreciate that perspective. In fact, the best part of the book is the final section "Detoxing Your Whole Person," which gives detailed instructions on the many benefits of spiritual fasting. I plan to keep the book in my library simply because of this important section.
This title isn't for everyone. If you're looking for some new, unashamedly Christian insights on improving your diet and taking care of your body however, you'll find something of use here.
Supergreens is = to 6 servings of veggies. In terms of KILOBYTES........2007-07-01
I have been fasting, on water alone, for 17 days now, and I plan to withdraw to consumption again when my body tells me I should. On every page, the wealth of Colbert's ignorance astounded me. What he has written is secondhand drivel from health books popular in the 80s, which advised readers not to drink water during a meal, because it would "dilute the digestive enzymes and interfere with digestion." Anyone who has opened a middle school level Biology book knows otherwise. How is this guy a doctor?
He is FUNNY, however. I often found myself laughing out loud reading this. He appealed to the Bible and yet obviously prefers juice fasting in almost all cases, and even prohibits absolute fasts (which I've done dozens of times).
None of the fasters in the Bible "juice fasted." Many of the spiritual leaders in the Bible did "absolute fasts," which Colbert expressly prohibits, even if God calls you to it. So I wish Colbert would make up his mind. Why does he advocate fasting? Because of science, or religion? He seems to fill the book with both (watered-down forms of each), but NEITHER support his juice-fasting dogma, as far as I can tell.
Three times he wrote, "Supergreens is equal to 6 servings of vegetables." Huh? Equal how? In calories? In antioxidants? In fiber? In phytonutrients? In KILOBYTES? In toxins?
He leaves it to the reader to make of it what the reader likes.
If you want a summary of what science has to say about fasting, better look elsewhere. If you want anything concerning religion, better fast and pray before reading this quack. He's just telling us what his grandma told him what Benny Hinn told her what Jesus told him what the Father told Him.
Clear & easy toxic relief manual.......2007-02-18
If you wanted to juice, know how to combine juices for optimal health, were curious about how to get rid of the toxins in your body, this is the book to read. Dr. Colbert writes in a very clear and easy to understand method the how's and why's. He also makes it very easy, with no strange or weird foods how to acheieve your goals. I personally found some great juicing combos that I use practically every day. I highly recommend this book.
Book Description
Everyone has had luminous moments in their lives. It's the "a-ha" moment when one experiences the beauty and grace of life, whether it be when looking into the eyes of a newborn child or watching the sun set over the ocean. But those moments are usually too brief. Too often, people walk around in a fog, feeling vaguely frustrated, resigned, and cynical and asking all the wrong questions about how to make life better. They miss the purpose for being alive: to wake up and become oneself, to allow others to contribute to them and to, in turn, contribute their gifts to the world. This book gives readers specific methods for allowing luminosity into their lives on a consistent basis, allowing them to view the world with much younger, more vibrant eyes.

A Luminous Life Within Your Grasp.......2007-09-19
There are just so many books that promise the earth but then do not deliver.
This one is a notable exception.
It is full of original and practical insights about ways in which we can each of us begin to realize our full potential, to live the life we were born to, whatever adversities may confront us.
As the book publicity says, "Everyone has had luminous moments in their lives. It's the "a-ha" moment when one experiences the beauty and grace of life, whether it be when looking into the eyes of a newborn child or watching the sunset over the ocean. But those moments are usually too brief."
I go much further: these brief moments usually vanish like the morning dew, leaving us with a sense of loss and yearning. How many people have returned from a camping trip, a retreat or a weekend seminar, only to catch the Monday morning syndrome: a crash back down to earth that can leave us depressed and disillusioned. Yet it does not need to be like that. There are dozens of ways of staying with and growing from these experiences. The trouble is that most of us have only been taught to try and hold on to experiences, rather than allowing them to help us grow and change. Have you ever run to a yoga or stress management class, and after a few meaningful minutes run straight home again? Have you ever felt worse after one of these classes or a weekend away?
That is where these novel and innovative strategies and approaches come in. You have only to accept the time-honored truth that your Inner Light is the fundamental basis of your life and that radiance and luminosity are the natural expressions of that Inner Light.
Then follow the very practical advice and exercises that shine through on every page. This is a wonderfully insightful book and it is clear that much of what it contains has been won the hard way.
It might, perhaps, have been nice if Maria could have avoided the word "energies" in the title. We never learn what she means by them and the rest of the book is so pure in intention and clear in expression that I would imagine that the term was introduced in production! This is only a small distraction in what is otherwise an outstanding book that I recommend very highly.
Richard G. Petty, MD, author of Healing, Meaning and Purpose: The Magical Power of the Emerging Laws of Life
Excellent guide to organizing and accessing what works in life .......2007-08-01
Dr. Nemeth's use of personal experience and metaphor make some really complicated and big ideas seem simple and easy to follow. This book will be extremely useful to those who are making (or want to make) changes in their lives -- especially if they are tired of learning things the hard way or learning the same things over and over again! Even if you opt to skip the short, simple excercises in her book, you will find yourself doing them anyway in your daily life. A mind expanded can never return to its original size.
Practical Advice.......2007-07-30
This second book from Maria Nemeth is more practical advice rather than rah-rah motivational encouragement. Where Tony Robbins and Brian Tracy and Jim Rohn may motivate and talk about the qiualities one needs to excell in their life, Master Life's Energies speaks to the practical steps you can take. This book outlines a mental process that anyone can apply and get lasting results. It is not psychobabble or analysis. It is more a guide to acknowledge what your 'blocks' are, to expect them and then take action depsite those 'blocks'. The title can be off putting if you are wary of the etherial and "new age-like blather in this field but don't let that throw you off. There's meat here. Read it, take the steps outlined and see lasting results.
Divinely Inspired.......2007-07-07
I thought this book was great! It has really given me new ways to approach how I want to live my life. As I did the different exercises they really helped me take action toward creating and living the life I want. I especially love the "Standards of Integrity" exercise in chapter 6. That really got me in touch with what is important to me.
This book has given me easy and clear steps to start living from my internal harmony. Now,as the author so eloquently puts it: I am living my life with more "clarity, ease and grace". I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to live a more fullfilling life. This book is best read one chapter at a time, taking time to reflect and do the exercises that help enhance your self awareness and offers you clarity on how to persur your heart's longing.
Thanks Maria for this truly Luminous work!

Book Description
Looking for a whole new approach to weight loss, health, and beauty without necessarily going all raw or strictly vegetarian? Welcome to Raw Food Life Force Energy
According to top nutritionist Natalia Rose, everyone is entitled to a beautiful lean body, youthful radiant skin, abundant energy, and a state of natural bliss. The secret is tapping into the ultimate source of well-being—Life Force Energy. If we can properly harness and increase our Life Force Energy through simple dietary and environmental principles, and therefore cleanse and bring our bodies back to their natural, harmonious frequency, we can experience radically improved levels of health, beauty, and happiness.
Raw Food Life Force Energy is entirely compatible with the principles laid out in Rose's previous book, The Raw Food Detox Diet, but presents her diet-lifestyle in an excitingly progressive framework that reminds us that we are not just physical bodies, but dynamic beings who thrive on harmonious high vibrations and Life Force Energy. Rose presents four fundamental energy principles and practical applications, leading us to the best sources of natural energy—such as raw fruits and vegetables, sunlight, and fresh air, to name a few. These principles lay the groundwork for Rose's comprehensive 21-day program, followed by more than seventy original, mouthwatering recipes that range from healthful cooked fish dishes to raw vegetarian soups, entrees, and desserts to accommodate all levels of raw food energy dieters.
Rose offers a new vision of how to honor and revitalize our bodies and become powerfully attractive inside and out. Raw Food Life Force Energy shows us how to break out of our destructive, energy-draining patterns of poor eating, unsuccessful dieting, and stressful living to lift ourselves to a whole new stratosphere of well-being.

Lost 23 lbs!!!.......2007-10-14
I bought Natalie's book over 3 months ago. While I'm still new in applying her concept, her eatng concepts are so fantastic!!! I'm not a vegetarian nor do I follow some of the other techniques of her book. But applying her concept of eating ligth to heavy and combining certain foods and not combining other foods has totally changed my life!! I feel sooooo much better!! The energy level has dramatically risen. I bought a Breville Juicer so for breakfastes I have a fruit and veggie drink.. about a quart of each. Then for lunches I have a delicious avacodo salad with almond butter (which I make from almonds using my Vitamix) and jelly on top of my Kumut bread that I make... it's sooo filling and soooo good!! Then I love her concept on dinners. I enjoy cooking and by applying her concepts I can eat whatever I want!!! Mind you... I don't eat a steak everyday like I use to. But I now have 2-3 days where I go meatless.... then go 2-3 days with a seafood meal and I usually have a nice steak for a treat only once a week. While this may not be a perfect way of eating, it is much better then I use to do.... and I truly do feel so much better... and friends are noticing not only a difference in my weight... but also my complexion!! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested not on going on a diet... but to learn of a new way to eat each and every day!!!
very infomative for newcomers to live food.......2007-09-26
Love this book. Easy reading, very informative and gives introduction information for transitioning to raw food. Very good book.
Feed Your Mind.......2007-07-31
This was the first book written by Natalia Rose that I have read. And, I thoroughly enjoyed it. But, be forewarned, this is more thought provoking than the usual food book. Some will find the author's discussion of the vibrational frequencies of foods to be anything from bizarre to unsupported (adequately) scientifically. I found the discussion though provoking, recognizing yet again how little we really do understand about the full impact of food on our body and mind.
Here is the context of why I enjoyed this book so much. I am a huge believer in the impact of what we eat on our physical and mental health. As such, I enjoy reading books that build my knowledge as to what exactly are the optimal foods and combinations of foods. Although I believe that the fundamentals of good nutrition are well understood, I believe that there is much that still is not understood. Hence, my enjoyment of reading on the subject, especially books that feed my mind by stretching my thinking.
I have no idea as to whether Rose is right that vibrational frequency is the key. I am at least open to it being one of the keys. I personally believe that micronutrients are another important key and I was surprised at the dearth of treatment of what many scientists believe to be an important element of food. (This is the major reason I gave the book a four star ranking rather than a five).
Read this book along with Eat Right, Live Longer (Barnard) and Super Foods (Pratt and Mathews) and you will have a plethora of good information from which to build your own philosophy as to optimal food for YOU.
Of course, the underlying message of every one of these optimal food books is the same: we need to choose carefully what we eat. To do so, I - for one - believe I must be better informed about the latest thinking on the subject. I am grateful to the author for advancing my thinking and doing so with her easy to read and to comprehend style of writing.
Finally...a raw food lifestyle I can live with!!.......2007-07-25
I have to say how happy I am with this book. Natalia Rose spells everything out in this book. I would suggest also picking up her "Raw Food Detox Diet" as well (if you haven't already). For a really picky eater (like me), the recipes are easy to incorporate into my daily life. Both of these books will be a part of my life for many years to come.
I highly recommend!!
Good book.......2007-06-23
I highly recommend this excellent book. Natalia is the real deal. My only issue with this book is the issue I have with most of the raw diet books on the market-you have to have time to prepare food daily-at least 45 minutes to an hour. This is why I didn't give it 5 stars. As someone who would LOVE to eat an 80-90% raw diet and eat healthily ALL of the time, but who works upwards of 50 hours/week, diets like this are barely do-able. Basically, I would like to see Natalia consider the busy schedules of her constituents, and figure out a way where folks are able to prepare most of their week's meals on one weekend day. Am I alone in this? I have found one book that does this; it's Alissa Cohen's raw food diet book, which I also recommend. However, I like Natalia's recipes better because they don't rely on heavy nut recipes like Alissa's. Anyway, this book is absolutely worth the money. I like the recipes better than the first one, too. I just wish she would make it more do-able for those with very busy schedules.
