Review
'Christopher is one of life's true teachers.' - Normandie Keith, You. 'As life becomes more hectic, it's important to stop and think about the way we are living. Christopher's book is the best possible starting point.' - Kathy Phillips, Vogue. 'THE TIBETAN ART OF LIVING is an exceptional and essential book for everyone's library. It's absolutely brilliant.' - Carolyn Myss, author of ANATOMY OF SPIRIT. 'Christopher Hansard has written an eloquent yet practical guide to a soulful integration of all aspects of our lives. He contributes a wise and powerful voice to contemporary spiritual thought.' - Marianne Williamson"

Product Description
In the ancient Tibetan Bon tradition, the secret of serene, successful living is to have no fear. But in our demanding society, where stress is the norm, fearfulness can become a way of life. In this inspiring book, leading Tibetan Bon practitioner Christopher Hansard explains the 'twelve types of fear' believed by traditional teaching to affect our lives. He shares with us age-old techniques for facing and overcoming these fears, and shows how without them we can better connect with our deepest selves, transform relationships and find increased peace, humour and confidence. Drawing from his deep personal knowledge of Tibetan teachings, and with easy-to-follow exercises and inspiring case studies, Christopher shows us how we can stop living with our fears -- and start living our life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, 3 Sep 2008
By Nobody Famous (The West Country, UK) - See all my reviews
The author makes some pretty impressive claims about the success of his techniques. But then he also claims to have been chosen out of the blue by a Tibetan monk to receive years of training in Bon meditation. Whether or not the claims are true, I don't know but I found them hard to swallow.

But I wouldn't want to judge the book on this. My 2 stars are based on the lack of practicality of the techniques it explains. They are in the main just standard meditation and relaxation techniques, with a religious twist. The religious overtones ensure that the techniques are less adaptable and usable than they should be and I gave them up in favour of much more sensible help to be found in plenty of other self-help books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Obvious and Shallow, 18 Aug 2008
By N. A. Osborne (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I started to read this book last week and found the first few pages readable and reasonably interesting, although the personal story of Hansards education by a Bon master you take with a pinch of salt. I then flicked ahead beyond some of the meditations and read snippets of other parts of the book and have been disappointed.

It seems to be the sort of book that anyone could write with a basic grounding in eastern religion and research into other self-help books. I have found much of what is said as obvious and the discussion of most of the points shallow. "Every one of us feels lonely at some point in our life" and " So many people are searching for love, that special connection with another person" are two examples of Hansards style. There is little depth, little to hold the attention.

When we buy a book we take it on faith that the publisher has checked the authors story. I don't think they have. I would recommend you stay clear of this title and opt for writing whose provenance is established.

Cheers
