Essential reading,
By Jane Raffen (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Body Doesn't Lie (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first of Dr. Diamond's books that I read, and it's easy to see why it became a best-seller. Dr. Diamond looks in detail at some of the aspects of our lives that affect us negatively, and gives simple, effective ways of overcoming these stresses. I have incorporated Dr. Diamond's suggestions in my normal working day for many years now, and I have found them to be enormously beneficial.

Practical and inspiring - essential!,
By Michael Garber "PhD, scholar of songs" (South Salem, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Your Body Doesn't Lie (Mass Market Paperback)
I first read this book in the early 1980s, and I have referred to it ever since for its highly practical suggestions on ways to reduce stress and enhance creativity. I have also used Diamond's discussion of "Stress and Cerebral Balance" as a text in teaching communication in college courses. While I understand that the use of kinesiological testing by those not professionally trained has turned out to be a more difficult and complex matter than suggested in this early work, the results of Dr. John Diamond's research are as relevant today as they were when this book was first published in 1979. This book truly laid the groundwork for Dr. Diamond's wonderful subsequent writings, which have developed and refined his work. And here, as always, Dr. Diamond's prose is wonderful reading -- robust, down-to-earth, and entertaining!

This review is from: Your Body Doesn't Lie (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book full of groundbreaking research, but you can really sense how 'dated' it is and steeped in 70's pop culture self help promotional style. Much work has been done with behavioral kinesiology since publishing this book- most remarkably Dr. David Hawkin's work on conciousness via B.K.. I would reccomend going right to his work since it's more current and uses this knowledge to explore spiritual grounds. That being said, it's a fun, easy read with some good basics in it. Thank you John Diamond for all the work you've done!
