I think this quite possible where Stephen Russell officially started going down hill, and basically took the "any discipline will do" ethos.
He claims this book is the practice of Wu Wei. This I cannot see, and maybe thats a fault of my own.
I have to echo the page filling bluffing of calling upon loads of other spiritual systems like Tibetan Buddhism etc when it comes to the affirmation side of things.
I really cannot abide this wooly patchwork of "taking all the best bits of other systems and putting them all together" kind of ethos, and then claiming it's a new system of sorts.
With reference to to other mediocre new agers that do this kind of thing all I can say is Dr Frankenstein, the rest is obvious!!!
Stephen seemed in his early days to write about Taoism in an accessible beginners way encouraging many to loo into this discipline. However he never went beyond that as I feel his own understanding may be slight in this area, and never got based first base.
This book shows no development in his intial cursory attempts to elicit understanding of the Tao, merely Stephend's fancy, I fancy.
If you're interested in Taoism please buy a book on Taoism not this please. It's New age for Sun readers.

I've read Barefoot Doctor's books before and in my opinion this is a re-hash of everything he and other self-help 'gurus' have written. Half the pages just contain an affirmation or quote, and let's face it any of us could come up with an affirmation. It seems Barefoot Doctor is cashing in without coming up with anything new. Read work by Catherine Ponder instead.

There's so much to take in here, but never is it heavy going. If one idea doesn't grab you then keep reading and the next one will. Cleverly written so that EVERYONE can get something (in fact quite alot!) from it. I'm off to re-read & practice some of the techniques, as those I've tried so far have made a difference to my life already. Read this book - don't miss the opportunity to improve your enjoyment of life. :)
I love this man!! May 23, 2004

What an excellent book! Barefoot Doctor tells it as it is, warts and all. This is the most down-to-earth book I have read on getting everything you want out of life - and believe me, I've read a few!!
Barefoot makes you realise that what you have in your life right now is what you want, and if you want more, you do have the power to get it - so stop making all those excuses. I love this man and his glorious attitude to life. He writes as he talks. This man is a genius. Thank you Barefoot.
