Dedication

I lovingly dedicate this book to all those who have attended my lectures, my staff at Hay House, all the wonderful people who have written to me over the years, and to Linda Carwin Tomchin, whose help and input into the creation of this book was indispensable. My heart has grown so much just knowing each and every one of you.

Contents

There is a great deal of information in this book. Do not feel you have to absorb it all at once. Certain ideas will leap out at you. Work with those ideas first. If I say anything that you disagree with, just ignore it. If you can get just one good idea out of this book and use it to improve the quality of your life, then I feel complete in writing it.
