A true fountain of knowledge - By: R. E. Russnak, 05 May 2008 
I suppose the true value of a book emerges over the years. I have been delving into this book time & time again. After the initial yourney of self-discovery, recognising the signs of my own issues & that of the people around me, it has become a constant companion. What better recommendation is there for any book?
Excellent book for growth - By: Mrs. Jan Snaith, 20 Aug 2006 Wow - what a fantastic read. A book that you will read & read again. You go on a journey.
Not your usual new age drivel - By: , 04 Apr 2006 I have to be honest, when I first got this book, I expected it to be either an onslaught of tasteless commercial new age jargon, or a polarised attempt to assert the superiority of eastern over western philosophy. Once I started reading, however, I was immediately drawn in, if not captivated, by the author's balanced, intelligent & insightful style, & her ability to relate the eastern chakra paradigm to western systems of developmental theory & personal growth, from Piaget to Maszlow to Jung. I am presently about 300 pages into it (in chakra 5 of the 7) & reading it has been a genuine journey of self-discovery for me. I can enthusiastically say that this is one of the most fascinating & soul-stirring books I have ever read & I can already feel the reflections emerging from it have had a life-changing impact upon me. Not a "how to" book, but a true "make you think" book. This one stays on my shelf, & I will buy many copies as gifts for others.
This is an excellent read. - By: , 17 May 1999 From a beginner to the advanced person this book is a great teacher.
Bringing Eastern & Western Philosophy together - By: , 09 Feb 1999 This is an extraordinary book, succeedingin bringing Eastern & Western psychology & philosophy togetherin a comprehensive, down-to-earth, understandable way. Anodea Judith presents the chakra-system as a personal ladder to spiritual & emotional growth, almost analogue to the stages of developmentin the model of Erikson. What's unique (or at least, special) is the well-succeeded integration of Eastern & Western models of child & adult development. Hats off to Anodea Judith!
