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!, Jan 7 2010

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!

What Does That Mean is full of amazing stories and insights regarding the meaning of life. Eldon's intriguing questions will have you looking inside yourself for the answers. Once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down!
