Title: Not just how, but why you can reach your total potential Review: Dudley Wolford packs at least a hundred gems and a lifetime of thought and research into 186 pages, and ends it all with a personal guarantee of satisfaction. The first half of the book presents the reader with an amazing summary of the history of the earth and the human species, including thought-provoking capsules on evolution, biology, human history and development, psychology, the environment, and mental development. The second half of the book deals with individual potential, and leads the reader through examples, research and exercises to provide practical tools that foster postive change. The self-improvement concepts require concentration, and the reader needs to look past a few self-publishing rough edges. The book is rich in information and instruction, and the lessons are not only lasting, but effective. Dudley Wolford is a generous and effective teacher. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: A Top 5 Book on Stress Relief - rigorous yet approachable Review: I've studied a wide variety of holistic stress-relief methods over a decade, including meditation, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, reiki, plus pilates, diet, aerobics, etc. I'm also a big reader and have gone through about 40 recommended books in these areas. Meditation as Medicine makes it onto my Top 5 list (maybe top 3) as a 'keeper' for destressing. It's power is in being rigorous - not just a few points with lots of fluff - as it covers breathing variations, specific positions for specific conditions, subtle techniques like mantras and body/hand/positioning, as well as the medical support for its approaches. At the same time, it's an approachable book that any human spirit with holistic growth & destress needs can understand. Essentially an intro to practices plus a guidebook you'll want to go back to for years. Highly recommended! Is the review positive or negative?
