Lissa Rankin is a true scientist in the sense that she follows the data even though it challenges some of what she wrote in her best-selling first edition of this book. In this new edition, her delightfully personal and engaging writing style brings to life her journey of discovery regarding not only the minds power to heal... but also the fact that there are parts of many people that fear or arent ready for healing. The inclusion of a step addressing this constraint makes her program comprehensive and fully effective. Its a beautiful and important book!
