Product Description
From Amazon
Psychotherapist and TV-featured business coach Robert Holden believes that you can shift your life if you learn to open up, let go of old baggage and are prepared to go all out for in-depth happiness. His incisive book aims to show you how, with examples and case studies.
Fear lies behind every stress, angst and anxiety. "At a certain level there are no problems, only fear; there is no illness, only fear; there are no conflicts, only fear and there is no devil, only fear. Heal the fear and you rediscover your freedom", he says. And the way to clear your life of fear, he suggests, is to confront it by aiming for higher thought and God's help. So who or what is God? Although contemptuous of "churchianity" Holden often advises turning to God who, he says, does not believe in atheists. "God is your immeasurable Self--your unconditional 'you.' When you reach to God you are simply reaching to the highest in yourself", declares Holden.
Like the proverbial optimist whose glass is half full, not half empty, Holden argues that there are no problems only opportunities. He also insists that both sacrifice ("martyrdom always ends in tears") and independence ("'I' strain") are obstacles to happiness. An independent person is too scared to ask for help and fears intimacy. A checklist enables the reader to see whether s/he is dysfunctionally independent on Holden's terms.
Subtitled "Powerful Ways to Transform your Life", this is a sharply written, exceptionally readable book, organised in short sections. It is, however, inspirational rather than practical. Few would be strong enough to achieve much of what Holden advocates without face-to-face help. --Susan Elkin --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

An important book to heal yourself and human kind,
By
This review is from: Shift Happens!: Powerful Ways to Transform Your Life (Paperback)
This is one of the most important books along with Happiness Now that I have ever read. For anyone who has suffered from self doubt or self criticism this book can help you find your true self again. Self acceptance and love are the powerful tools Robert has used to support many people in their healing process. This is true for me as well. I loved this book and use it in my daily practice to connect with spirit.

A delightful surprise,
By A. Babcock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shift Happens!: Powerful Ways to Transform Your Life (Paperback)
I picked this book up in the library and was surprised to find a wonderful resource. Every few pages, I stopped to write down a quote - there would be a tidbit of wisdom shining a light on another emotional snag from my past. Robert Holden nails it! It's like having a 6-month psychotherapy session with a gifted and insightful therapist. If you read self-help books, this is a must-read! Although the themes are familiar, the perspective is fresh and life-changing.

You say you are feeling down and glum and need a shot of inspiration...just enough to get you over the hump? This is a little gem of a book. It has snippets of inspiration to make you stop and think. It gives you a little jolt of happiness..and if needed, you can always dip in for more.
