Interesting Insights

There is a lot of truth to the Cube, the game has existed a long time. My son and I frequently discuss the cubes of others we have done, the game shows off all kinds of personality trends, and has never proved false. If there were a little more detail on how to analyse to cube's answers, it might be nice, but it's kinda cool how so much is left up to you, after the basics. Besides giving insight, it's very often funny to cube someone, especially if you know them pretty well. Cool for cats.

Really lets you decide what it means...

I loved The Cube not only because it helped me understand myself a bit more, but because it pushed me to take an active part in interpreting the results. Though lots of aids and examples are given to help you make sense of your results, you really are encouraged to decide what they mean to you. This helped my husband and I think a lot about where we are in our marriage and in relation to each other. It's a wonderful book and I look forward to cubing my friends and coworkers! :)

dead on accurate

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!

Simple, excellent mind journey for your own self-discovery

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.

Very scary, very awesome!

This is very very interesting. I have cubed a lot of people, and they all say it's incredibly accurate. It's frightening to some people how much you can find out just by a few simple images from their mind! This book has provided me with hours of psychoanalytic fun.
