"There are three levels of change in human growth: self-improvement, transformation, and transmutation. Self-improvement is based in changing what we do behaviorally. Transformation occurs when we... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have read no other book that so clearly and poignantly offers a completely new philosophy of psychology and modality of healing, while also being cogent and unapologetic in its critique of existing work. "There's no such thing as a negative emotion" provides a new perspective on the nature of the human condition and the causal base of suffering. The underlying paradigm (philosophy and value system), its metaphysics and their application of any healing work will ultimately determine its efficacy. This book presents a convincing case for the nature of the human emotional body and it's primary role in human suffering. As such, it also presents a remarkable healing path. At its least this book is a fascinating philosophical treatise on the human condition. At its most it is a new foundation for a healing modality that redefines what it means to be a human being living a divinely authentic life. In my opinion, this book lays that foundation as a beautiful ray of light in a dark room. I encourage anyone interested in healing work to judge for themselves.

This book just talk about what everybody deep down is searching to understand. And all the process of our life. A process so confuse now, and maybe always, a process in wich is involve all the Search of the Human Being to understand ourselves and each other. A process in which is involve all Traditional and Modern Spirituality. A book that is a bridge between all the Western Path of Psichology and all the Easter Path of Human Potencial. A book, that for first time, talk about what everybody goes but nobody say. Our most intimate confusion, our most intimate fears and our most intimate longing. Daniel Barron, his author, is an authentic man. Thanks to him.
Wow.

There's No Such Thing as a Negative Emotion is a brilliant and masterful challenge of virtually all research and practice of psychology and a straightforward and well-organized presentation of the premises of Emotional Body Enlightenment (EBE), the healing modality Barron created based on these premises. Barron has truly brought something new and succeeds in making it very clear exactly how and why that is so. He is unabashedly bold and exacting in his presentation yet humble in his offering. This book is for intelligent, psychoemotionally hungry people who can think paradigmatically and are willing to momentarily set everything they hold to be true aside to taste this view. The style in which he writes alone precipitates internal shifts and openings in the reader, a small but unmistakable glimpse of the power of emotional body enlightenment practice. It is important to note, however, that while the map this book offers is ingenious, mind-expanding and bewilderingly beautiful, it is not the heart-opening territory. Emotional Body Enlightenment occurs through walking the path with an EBE facilitator, where the self-validating truths offered by Barron become alive and embodiable in the abjectly terrifying and ineffably magical territory of the actual work. The content of No Such Thing is not to be believed, nor adopted as a philosophy, nor used as a guide for behavioral modification; it is to be lived into as a series of possible questions in process. The truth is not out there anywhere, it is in your heart, waiting for you to find it. Barron offers a map and a method to lovingly deconstruct the many layered defenses between you and your heart, so that you may listen to, feel, and become your truest, most authentic, and open-hearted you.
