2.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Mumbo- Jumbo- Unsatisfactory, 14 April 2009
By A. Taylor - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book very frustrating and unsatisfactory. It mixes scientific fact with New Age Spirituality and a mish mash of ideas based very loosely on Hinduism and various other Eastern philosophies, none of which are credited. The lack of clarity or acknowledgement of the source of the ideas makes me dubious of the whole book. Some people will like this book because it talks about things like the unborn baby's base Chakra developing in week 13, but for me it was a big turn off.
