Introduces a new way of thinking and living
I read (and reread) this book after beginning reverse therapy. While I am finding the therapy very important, reading the book has given me a great foundation for understanding the process, and provides reminders and support between sessions. Applying the principles described in the book is life-changing, and not just for people who have CFS. Anyone wanting a healthier and happier life can benefit from the mindset and strategies described here.

Helpful, but not magic
I read the book a year ago, and I've been going to Reverse Therapy sessions for about 6 months.I'm about 10 percent better, and I will persevere as that's more benefit than I've gotten from anything else.I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about trying Reverse Therapy, and I would recommend it to anyone with CFS to have as a tool.Reading it in conjunction with John Sarno and Freedom From Fibromyalgia (Selfridge and Peterson) will help.

Well worth the read
Whether you go ahead and work with a therapist using this approach or not, just the reading alone can be enormously helpful.It was for me.I think with this view I am finally getting to the root of why the CFS took hold and what causes the various symptoms, and this education/perspective is helping me get going so the symptoms can loosen their grip, not only for CFS but for other sub-optimal reactions my body has developed over the years that lessen a full experience of life.

Life-Changing
In a word, this book was life-changing.I thought I was recovered from CFS, but I have made great strides since reading, and internalizing, the smart tenets of this book.It's a quick read, and Dr. John Eaton makes all the concepts simple and easy to understand. A must-read.

The best book ever written on CFS/M.E.
I suffered from CFS for 13 years, but now I am recovered. Reading Dr. Eaton`s book gave me very valuable and vital clues about the process of recovery. The book is almost sufficient to treat the condition by yourself and I would recommend it to anyone suffering with CFS/M.E. or fibromyalgia. It gives a detailed overview of Reverse Therapy and how it developed from earlier theories of eminent psychologists and therapists. In addition to giving a good theoretical basis for understanding RT, this book gives a lot of practical information as well. The book gives you a good understanding of Reverse Therapy, but is a bit lacking in instructions on how to treat the condition by yourself. But I assure you: you can get well with the help of this book. I used some additional sources to learn about the process, but I would say that if you read this book, you only need a bit of outside support to get well. Which is not to say that the therapy is useless, ofcourse. If you have a chance, attend the sessions, but by all means, read the book first!
This book is THE BEST book ever written on CFS! Dr. Eaton has done a wonderful job. Thank you for your invaluable work!

Product Description
Remarkably enough, there is a scarcity of modern commentaries on the Psalms for the more general reader, though after the Gospels, they are probably the most widely read part of the Bible. Clergy read the Psalms in rotation as part of the daily offices, the Psalms are a regular part of the church's worship, and the "Book of Psalms" is a spiritual classic in its own right. This commentary is addressed to the widest possible readership and is informed by John Eaton's pastoral concerns and his commitment to environmental issues. He examines the authorship of the psalms and their use as poetry and songs, as well as in worship. Eaton provides his own, modern translation of each of the 150 Psalms and provides a commentary highlighting the relevance of the psalms to the modern reader. The inspirational discussion of each psalm ends with a related Christian prayer, either from the tradition or written by Eaton himself. ... Read more

A must-have for Octave users
While maintaining the no-excess-verbage style of the previous version of the Octave manual, the Version 3 manual is greatly expanded and much more useful.For example
the chapter on statistical computations has been expanded approximately ten-fold.

Many, many new features are described, such as the more-Matlab-compatible graphics commands and the Packages system for expanding Octave's capabilities.

Unless you're opposed to books on principle (an online version of the manual is available), I would highly recommend purchasing a copy of the Version 3 manual -- it comes at a bargain price, part of which helps fund Octave R&D. ... Read more

Product Description
"The Wheel of Life" is the spiritual autobiography of John Blofeld (1913-1987), a world-renowned British scholar and writer who devoted his life to the study of Eastern traditions, especially Buddhism and Taoism. With wit, honesty, and humility, Blofeld portrays his search for wisdom and his discovery of a genuine spiritual path. He describes in vivid detail his life in Peking and his travels in Tibet, Mongolia, China, India, and Burma: the worlds of remote mountain monasteries, the sacred inner chambers of sages and yogis, and the inspired lives of simple, ordinary people. The book is particularly valuable for its sensitive picture of a world that no longer exists. As Huston Smith remarks in his Foreword, "Blofeld encountered Chinese Buddhism and Taoism at a very special moment in history, the final moment before they came under Communist onslaught. To have his intimate glimpse into what they were like as still-living traditions is historically important." ... Read more

Great book
I'm interested in Asian culture and Buddhism. I found the author's experience very interesting and entertaining. It was fun and easy to read.

The diary of a Buddhist pilgrim
John Blofeld's autobiography, giving account of his long travels in Buddhist Asia (chiefly China), is an inspiring and honest one. It is probably more inspiring, because of his reticence. Few Western Buddhists - writing books of this type, have detailed the deeper aspects of the Buddhist life. Despite evident inspiration, Lama Anagarika Govinda, Madame Alexandra David-Neel et al, actually said relatively little about peak experiences. In fact, few Asian Buddhists have left biographies, detailing their inner life. Dogen's account amounts to a few lines - where 'peak' experiences are concerned. Hakuin is an exception to this - detailing all sorts of psycho-spiritual changes. The Ming Master Han-shan gave good account of his experience of meditation. Hsu-yun (1840-1959) touched on some of his experiences, but modestly, for a man who lived to be 119 years of age, 100 of them in the Sangha.

Admittedly, there is a kind of unfulfilled yearning in J.B.'s autobiography, made that much more poignant by his expectat-ions and an impending sense of coming in sight of his goal. The first edition of WOL left it open ended. The sequel, added to later editions, did, in some ways, lend a dispiriting tone to the end of the book. Still, it is worth remembering that J.B. was in China - in the years leading up to the civil war and the eventual triumph of Chinese Communism. Such events shook up the foundations of Chinese Buddhism - and, the foundations of Buddhism in Tibet. John Blofeld re-settled - out of necessity, in Thailand, at which time, there was little room to feel optimistic about the fate of Buddhism in China and Tibet. He had been cut off from the people and places which had inspired him,in his youth. What he had to say, about his years in Buddhist China etc., therefore constitutes a precious account.

More travelogue than spiritual autobiography
The subtitle of this work is "The Autobiography of a Western Buddhist". Unfortunately, that is not really an accurate description. The author, whether from humility or reticence, tells us little of his spiritual development and practice.

Still, his life has been remarkable and he describes a spiritual world in China and Tibet that is gone forever and can only be vicariously experienced through books such as this.

The author is a modest man, perhaps excessively so. I believe that he has left out much that would be of interest to his readers. The result is more a spiritual travelogue than a true spiritual autobiography. Yet, this book is so evocative that I am grateful to accept however much he is willing to share about his extraordinary experiences.

A Western Dharma Pioneer
ven. Huston Smith's comments are right on.Having used and admired Blofeld's edition of the 'I Ching' for some time, I always wanted to get around to reading this book, and now am very glad I did!ven. John Blofeldgives us an honest account, free of self-conscious editing, of a Westernseeker attracted by the fragrance of Dharma while still in grade school,who then pursued it to pre-Mao China and met many great sages from amillenia-old tradition.On my sagging particle-board bookshelf, I put thisbook lovingly next to ven. Anagarika Govinda's 'The Way of the WhiteClouds' and ven. Lama Alexandra David-Neel's 'Magic and Mystery in Tibet'and and ven. Kawaguchi's 'A Stranger in Tibet', and ven. Bhagavan Das's'It's Here Now', (and while we're at it, next to ven. Friedrich Nietzsche's'Thus Spake Zarathustra' as well! :).Namaste, y'all! ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Joy, despair, faith, doubt, hate, love, frustration, patience, turmoil, peace, insecurity, trust - the book of Psalms covers the range of human emotions.In Psalms for Life, John Eaton explores the poetry of the Psalms as a never failing source of challenge, comfort, and encouragement. Beginning with Psalm 1 and continuing through to Psalm 150, he provides a short reflection on each psalm, distilling and explaining the poet's essential message, and ending with a brief meditative prayer. As a distinguished biblical scholar who has studied the Psalms all his life, John Eaton writes with warmth, clarity and authority. As a Christian, he sees the Psalms as prophetic of Christ, revealing vital and often little-known facets of his life and character. As a sensitive and skilful teacher, he draws out the full significance of these ancient songs as a source of wisdom and insight for all who live the Christian life today. ... Read more
