A Gentle Path Indeed

I found this book extremely helpful, insightful, humerous and basically my new reference book for daily living.

Stop Beating Yourself Up!!!!

As a motivational speaker, I have been reading self-help and motivational books for years. Never before have I found a book that contained the "basic" highlights of every book I have read. Tina provides a gentle blend of psychology, science, common sense, and life experiences in a "gentle" to read style that informs rather than preaches. Her chapters on "self-talk" are so intuitive that you have to put the book down occasionally to let the information marinate in you mind before proceeding. I look forward to reading this book again and again.

"Gentle Path" is a Gem of a Book

This has become one of my favorite books. Bernie Siegel, M.D. put it succinctly when he said "This book can be a great help to those ready for transformation." Well, I am always ready for transformation; who isn't? The beauty of this book is that it is simply written and easy to understand. After having read it -- I gobbled it up voraciously in two days -- I now go back and re-read certain sections that help remind me of how to meander upon my own "gentle path."It was an easy read, even while dealing with deep and emotional issues. Tina Thomas has a clear, no-nonsense, down-home style which goes right to the heart of the matter. This is one of the best books I have read about improving one's attitude and eliminating all traces of the negative. It also makes a wonderful gift for friends and loved ones. After reading it, I obtained ten of them for my best buddies!

Very powerful book - it has changed my life in many ways!!!

As a therapist myself, I find it rare to discover a self-help book that really says anything new or useful. Not only does the author do both but she also has a delightful conversational style and inspirational examples. Her explaination of the brain and how to reprogam are brilliant. I also enjoyed her deeper understanding of the positive intentions of emotion - very insightful. I had the opportunity to meet the author at a workshop she gave and was also impressed with her congruency - clearly she is a woman who LIVES her message! She is dynamic and enthusiastic yets exudes peace & compassion. Reading her book is like being at her workshop, or better yet, like finding a dear wise friend.
