Format:Hardcover
There's so much to take in here, but never is it heavy going. If one idea doesn't grab you then keep reading and the next one will. Cleverly written so that EVERYONE can get something (in fact quite alot!) from it. I'm off to re-read & practice some of the techniques, as those I've tried so far have made a difference to my life already. Read this book - don't miss the opportunity to improve your enjoyment of life. :)

What an excellent book! Barefoot Doctor tells it as it is, warts and all. This is the most down-to-earth book I have read on getting everything you want out of life - and believe me, I've read a few!!
Barefoot makes you realise that what you have in your life right now is what you want, and if you want more, you do have the power to get it - so stop making all those excuses. I love this man and his glorious attitude to life. He writes as he talks. This man is a genius. Thank you Barefoot.

Format:Audio CD
having read the book, i wanted the cd to listen to in bed so i can do the meditations (and be guided through them) when relaxed and comfortable.
the major bonus is that thankfully Barefoot does not suffer from an American accent some of which can be very annoying to listen to, so much so that you end up focusing on the annoying accent rather than the content.
his voice is gentle, soothing and like the book, he doesn't take himself too seriously.
I have always liked the way he writes and find it makes for pleasant and amusing reading as well as listening.
Barefoot makes the subject matter practical and do-able and isn't hung up on his ego.
the book and the cd are well worth reading/ hearing.
another Barefoot success

3 audio Cds that sound very similar - how to visualize and brainwash what you want into your life. The Cds keep looping round and round until you stop them. Read more

Easy to read style which is quite amusing but I'm just very unsure about all this manifestation stuff.

I think this quite possibly where Stephen Russell officially started going down hill, and basically took the "any discipline will do" ethos. Read more

I've read Barefoot Doctor's books before and in my opinion this is a re-hash of everything he and other self-help 'gurus' have written. Read more
