Description

New Age. Psychology. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:A New York Times bestseller, Emotional Freedom is a road map for those who are stressed out, discouraged, or overwhelmed as well as for those who are in a good emotional place but want to feel even better. Picture yourself trapped in a traffic jam feeling utterly calm. Imagine being unflappable and relaxed when your supervisor loses her temper. What if you were peaceful instead of anxious? What if your life were filled with nurturing relationships and a warm sense of belonging? This is what it feels like when you�??ve achieved emotional freedom. Bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff invites you to take a remarkable journey, one that leads to happiness and serenity, and a place where you can gain mastery over the negativity that pervades daily life. No matter how stressed you currently feel, the time for positive change is now. You possess the ability to liberate yourself from depression, anger, and fear. Synthesizing neuroscience, intuitive medicine, psychology, and subtle energy techniques, Dr. Orloff maps the elegant relationships between our minds, bodies, spirits, and environments. With humor and compassion, she shows you how to identify the most powerful negative emotions and how to transform them into hope, kindness, and courage. Compelling patient case studies and stories from her online community, her workshop participants, and her own private life illustrate the simple, easy-to-follow action steps that you can take to cope with emotional vampires, disappointments, and rejection. As Dr. Orloff shows, each day presents opportunities for us to be heroes in our own lives: to turn away from negativity, react constructively, and seize command of any situation. Complete emotional freedom is within your grasp. Includes a bonus PDF with a quiz, worksheet, and meditation guides… (more)

It's ok. Not very many ah ha moments. Very hippish ideas. Some good ones. Doesn't explain how to cultivate "intuition" or where it comes from and (in my opinion) is a off on how to tell the difference between intuition and wishing. She tends to bend religious and philosophical ideas to fit her own.

This had some great ideas in it. I listened to it mainly in the car so I couldn't take notes. I might have read a physical book instead. But it was good. Good examples. I had several ah ha moments listening. I will implement some of the exercises.

Let me start by saying, I'm not a big fan of self help books. I've read a few in my life that had interesting and helpful points, but wading through the unrealistically positive twaddle is hard to take. This book was very different. She gets right to the heart of human nature and paints a beautiful

picture of the path to recovery from the human condition.

If you are introspective and want to grow, read this and you'll be glad you did. If you aren't introspective, you probably need to read it even more, and your life will be significantly enhanced. :-)

The scientific foundation of the book could have easily stood on its own, but I really appreciated her including intuition. Some times the reading went a little slow, seeming to belabor a point, but I appreciated this on the segments covering what I most needed to improve. It got the point across.
