Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Under the spell of quantum physics, Bach and his wife Leslie are catapulted into an alternate world in which they exist simultaneously in many different incarnations. " These little homilies can either be uplifting or mightily boring, depending on the reader's point of view," wrote PW.

Review
"[One] is a superb adult fairy tale as well as a fine offering of Bach's philosophy. It is a joy to read and the 'music' of its lyrics will linger on"-- Abilene Register News

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderfully inspiring!,
By A Customer
This review is from: One (Mass Market Paperback)
I think I read this book at exactly the right moment in my life. It was when I was ready and when I needed this type of inpiration and insight the most. It was a time in my life when I felt like things were going downhill faster than an avalanche. It was this choice I made to read this book that changed my life. Because I read this book, I am much more fully aware of what I do and how it might affect my life as well as those of others in the long run. Thanks to this book, I am much more mindful and aware of my life and feel like I am "living" in the fullest sense of the word! Another book I really like now is "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is a theoretical book on human nature and consciousness in general but it is truly inspiring! I am absolutely sure that my life would not be the same without these books.

Unlimited possibilities of a Parallel Universe,
By Arlene Millman "chyron24" (Huntington, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow, how thought provoking to consider a parallel universe. Our choices are a world filled with unlimited possibilities. Our lives can be lived on many different levels, and in many dimensions. Re read this book several times, to get the true message. Needs to be digested gradually, and savor every word.Arlene Millman author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY

Boring, but somewhat inspirational,
By dasn0wman "dasn0wman" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all, I like to congratulate all the readers that read this book more than once. That is quite a feat. ONE time is more than enough. This book is so boring for a fictional read. It reminded me of the movie, "Solaris", which is about going back in time only it added another twist: if you could change the past, would you? Anyway, that movie is just as boring, but I must say it is better than this book because the actress is hot. I thought the author's concept of "One" is quite confusing. For instance, the chapter when Leslie encourages her younger self to pursue playing the piano, a path she had not taken, this will affect her life and what she is now. In any case, I don't think one decision can totally change a whole person's life as some readers suggest. If this was the case, we would all be in deep trouble. There are always exceptions, such as deciding to buy that lottery ticket and winning, but usually it takes many decisions to shape one's life. I don't buy this decision-making plot or the plot that everything is "One". But two stars for the nice self-help pieces littered throughout the book and for the nice cover.
