4.0 out of 5 stars
Simply put, a good book,
By "danceuponamoonbeam" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Of Your Other Hand Revised (Paperback)
I picked up this book while going through a phase. I was trying to tap into my more artistic side which had been easy for me up until about three years ago, with real world concerns pressing in and working at a job that didn't spark my creativity I found it harder and harder to distinguish what I really wanted to do compared to what I thought I should do. This book I was hoping would help-and it did. It has many, many exercises to help you get more in touch with your more spontaneous, child like side. Many of these exercises were uncomfortable for me at first for me because they involved giving up the control I held so rigidly to.In fact I found it very hard because giving up control would mean I would have to trust in myself. I didn't know how to flow anymore and this book is all about flow. Some of the exercises involve drawing pictures with your non-dominant hand and others involve getting in touch with different parts of yourself you might have left behind for some reason or another. I find Lucia Cappachione an author who's style is very warm and the personal stories she tells in the book set her apart from self help guru's who just preach and preach and give nothing of themselve's in turn. This book is never boring and is like a kid's activity book for adults.

2.0 out of 5 stars
art involves the whole brain,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Of Your Other Hand Revised (Paperback)
I believe that the author is sincere about her claims that drawing with the other hand can lead to well-being. However, it is very common knowledge now that artistic creativity involves the whole brain, not just the mysterious right brain. Using one hand or the other does not just use the right brain-- in fact, if you saw someone draw while hooked up to brain scan, many parts of the brain would literally light up.I give the exercises in this book 5 stars and I think it is great way to discover your creativity and experience parts of yourself that are otherwise untapped (although that it "heals" is yet to be proven-- it would be great to see the studies that prove this claim). It is the theory that the author is basing her claims on that is the problem. Artistic expression, even with a non-dominant hand, is a little more complex than the "intuitive" part of the brain or the right brain doing all the work. This idea has been proven incorrect for the last 10 or 15 years, it is time the author caught up with the literature in order to give her readers the best possible information on why art expression is a way to health.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a GREAT BOOK!,
By Eve Hogan "Author of "Intellectual Forepl... (Kihei, HI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Power Of Your Other Hand Revised (Paperback)
Lucia's work, and this book specifically, showed me how to access my own inner wisdom and thus have a never ending supply of assistance, whenever I needed it. Dialoging with my inner wisdom in writing allowed me to recognize the voice of wisdom within so that I was able to hear it, and decipher that voice from my thinking mind, my inner child and other sub-personalities, all of the time. (IF this sounds strange, Lucia does an EXCELLENT job of explaining it in this book...) Writing with my non-dominant hand also allowed me to access my creative voice.....and I have hence gone on to be an author myself, and advisor for others.I can not recommend this book highly enough...totally changed my life!
