Product Description
Review
"What Does That Mean? is engaging, thought provoking, and quite simply a great read!"-- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
Product Description
An old saying asserts that the value of a book is not in what it says but rather in what it does. What Does That Mean? is one of those books that will have a lifetime impact on all who read it. The book squarely faces the many inconsistencies held in our systems of belief, from the sciences to psychic phenomena. Eldon Taylor is willing to speak out without reservation, and without avoiding any so-called sanctities. The result is absolutely thought-provoking at every level, as this work addresses the meaning of life and the ultimate "humanness" of the human being. If you have ever questioned the nature of life, the power of the mind, unexplained events, and other mysteries, you will find this book totally riveting.
Throughout these pages, Eldon shares life experiences that will lead you to revelations about your own life. Perhaps this book's greatest value is that it assists you in remembering who you really are and thereby places you firmly back on the path to personal enlightenment. English writer Joseph Addison, said, "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." If that is the case, then this book is the perfect workout to enrich your thinking. You may not always like what you read, but you will always find the depth of thought wholly provocative.

This book is badly written and relies on spurious reasoning throughout. I could tell almost immediately that it is a spin off from another book, written in haste and not researched. At the end of every chapter is asks the same question "What does this mean?" but it gives no attempt at any answers, nor even any intelligent speculation. I felt patronised and talked down to. This book is a platform for the author's own views and a show case for his own experiences. It is the first book I have ever put in the bin. If you are a serious seeker after truth do not waste your money.

I bought this book after listening to the CD of the same title. If you're looking for answers this book will not provide them, it raises more questions than it attempts to explain as the subtitle says, "Exploring Mind, Meaning and Mysteries" with the emphasis on exploring. The anecdotes will certainly engage your mind.
It's a very interesting book like the author's other books, Choices and Illusions' and 'Mind programming'. I can recommend it to anyone who questions their beliefs and ponders over the uncommon events that we sometimes encounter in our everyday life.

Excellent read - makes you really think about who you are!

I LOVED this book. It is so very different to Taylor's previous books but at the same time, it is the natural progression. In Choices and Illusions and Mind Programming, Eldon shows us how other's can (and do) manipulate our thoughts and choices. In What Does That Mean he provides numerous examples of common beliefs we all have that make absolutely no sense. It is hard to deny the value of his previous books once you have read What Does That Mean? Who am I if my beliefs are not my own and make no sense at all? This is an invaluable addition to my library.

Don't Miss It!

Wow--what a read!!! The idea of a book as an experience is not new, but this experience is! Just when I thought I was comfortable with "knowing" a little about myself the shutters were thrown open by "What Does That Mean?" and the light nearly blinded me. Sometimes the intensity was so great that I felt like throwing the book--but I didn't, I stayed with it and I do not regret that decision one tiny little bit. This book will provoke you, it will cause you to cry, it will bring laughter and joy to you, and much more--but what it won't do is allow you to remain status quo.
Eldon asks over and over again throughout the book, "What does that mean?" When you have read it all, perhaps even twice like I did, you will find that the answer is all about you. He paraphrases time and again the idea that we should know ourselves and he writes in such a way that it is difficult, if at all possible, to avoid looking squarely at who we are and how we became that.
In the end, the read is inspiring, absolutely uplifting and full of hope. There are miracles and moments that just cause your skin to bubble with goose bumps. This is a great read--don't miss it!
