They ask about 4 questions in the beginning of the book; and then spend the other 300 pages babbling on and on about them. Surprisingly, the descriptions they offered in those 300 pages rarely met with my answers. So, unless I feel like doing some serious soul-searching over 4 questions, I was out of luck on it providing ANY insight at all.

Either my imagination is completely idiosyncratic, or they just couldn't find space during those 300 pages to put proper answer keys. My vote is the latter.

Don't waste your money on this. Try Kokology books instead.

I was very excited to buy this book. Someone from work had recommend it strongly & actually did the visualization with me. Once I received the book, it was the same steps that my friend did for me. It was fun, but you will only do it once for yourself & once for each of your friends. After that, the book is useless!

I came across it in a Kalamazoo all nite coffee shop that has since closed. I'll never forget the night I read it.

I can't give away the secret, but if you play this simple game, you may be able to learn something about yourself that you never would have otherwise.

It changed my perception in a big way.

Well, this is a fun game to play with friends and such, but there's not much to it once you finish the main "exercise." One of my friends said "This is like one of those quizzes you get on email," and I have to agree. Still, I won't give the "big secret" away...this would probably make a great gift for a teen or just a good friend, and there are worse ways to spend the money.

If you enjoy self-discovery, but don't take yourself too seriously, then you would like this book. I've been playing "The Cube" with people for the past several years.Of probably more than a hundred people, only four people didn't like the game. This book can just be a lot of fun, or you can really get a lot of great truths from it.

This is great for getting to know people or just having fun. I've used it for small parties, campfire conversation, and first dates. Kids can even play it. I can't go into more detail without giving it away, but it is worth more than the jacket price. I've enjoyed this book so much that I have given them as Christmas presents several times.

The book starts off... and you are doing all the stuff, and it might seem to take a really long time. But then, they tell you everything and you are like "Oh my God, that's so true!" It really does pin you pretty good. Must Read!

Fantastic for the late stages of a dinner party!
Everyone is amazed and fascinated by their cubism...a must for anyones bookshelf. Get a different result each time.

It seems superfulous to add another glowing review tothe others that have already been written. The Cube was amazing. I suggest playing it by yourself rather than in a group. What you find out might upset your friends. Thats as much as a will give away. I have been desperate to find another self-discovery book that was as accurate but ot no avail. The Kology books were a big dissapoinment when compared to the accuracy of the Cube. There is absolutely nothing like it. I wish I could forget the secrets and play again to find how my perceptions have changed, but once you know the secret that it. So, don't give into the temptation to read ahead in the book!

I played the game once years ago w/my parents--some pretty amazing insights. The key is to follow the instructions to the letter--don't read past page 17 until you have played the game. Perfect for intimate social gatherings, bridge club meetings, or even an alternative to game night with the family.

Spread the word, but keep the secret!

Play THE CUBE...

You know those movies that you can't really describe to a friend without giving the whole story away? Well this book is sort of like that. But here's my attempt at a "no spoiler" review.

The Cube is a little visualization/meditation "game" that you can play by yourself or with any other number of people. It only takes a minute or two to play, and once you learn it you can play it with others without referring to the book. The book has quite a few pages, but that's mostly because it's written rather poetically, with only a paragraph or so on each page. It's divided into 5 main sections: an introduction, the "game" (this part is widely spaced over about 15 pages), reflections on the game (this makes up the bulk of the book, and helps you interpret your results of the game), some interviews from a wide range of celebrities who played the game, and an appendix that can optionally help you along in your discovery.

I suggest giving yourself at least a half hour alone to play the game and start reading the main section. When you're done, sit down with your close friends, s.o., or family and play it. You're guarenteed to learn something about each other. Despite the fact that "you can only play it once", I still think the book is worth buying, and I flip through it on occasion.
