Light Years Beyond Self-Help...... This small, concise, intelligent book offers tools for true and lasting transformation. I've studied and continue to practice the teachings and have found myself propelled into a self I'd only hoped exists. My sense of freedom, peace and contentment are all encompassing - and radiating! As the author states - life happens. It's our perceptions and responses to those happenings that are our experience of that life. I understood through Buddhist teachings that my suffering stems from my attachment. What I didn't quite `get' was how to let go of that attachment. Now I know and practice diligently what I've learned and continue to learn. This book has taught me the power of words, the power of my attention and of my intentions. If you have a longing for Truth and Freedom and to live as who you TRULY are give yourself the gift of these powerful teachings.

I say "changing" because the practices outlined in this book are ongoing, and self-transformation is constantly unfolding. Doing these practices over time has transformed my life. I no longer experience much anxiety, I feel ever freer from anger, depression, and negativity in general, no matter what the circumstances. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is truly looking for guidance in how to change his or her life in these very challenging times. Sylvia Bennett has given me hope for a beautiful future regardless of outer events. I'm learning to be true to myself, thanks to the wisdom contained in this book.

This is a great book -- very clear and concise. Not a lot of fluffy nonsense but practical and well written. It provides the reader with wonderful tools on how to live a conscious life. If you have any interest in quantum physics, meditation, living a more conscious life or just learning how to be true to yourself -- read this book.People who have read Ken Wilbur, John Perkins and Florence Scovel Shinn or even Carolyn Meiss would really like this. I'm re-reading it for the third time right now.great book!
