How do you know if a book is good for you, or not?

Hi Shari,

 

I know that Donna and David also gave good kudos to Rose and her

books, especially at the last " colors & aura " seminar.

 

And I have her books, and I HATE THEM! I can't get past the first

few pages. (I've 3 of her books).

 

So, what is it about her books that you approve of?

 

I guess my point is, " how do you know if a book is good for you, or

not? Or, if a book is good for others, or not? "

 

I'm asking this question so I can " turn on " my own convincer

strategies enough to know that reading and studying her materials is

important for me to do.

 

One of my friends, Richard, recommended a book to me one time, so I

got it. Boy was it lousy. So I emailed Richard and asked him " why he

thought it was a good book? " Richard's answer, " I didn't read it. A

friend recommended it to me so I knew it was good " .

 

In other words, Richard's convincer strategy is so simple that, " if

someone he likes recommends something, then it must be good " .

 

On the other hand, my friend John says that for a book to be good

for him it, " Must be on topic, it must cover a bit of history, and

bit of 'why it's important to study from him, and why he's the

expert', exacty HOW to do the drills and to get the skills, stories

about people that have done the skills to get the drills, studies

from reputable people about the veracity of those skills, and how

else one might use those skills " .

 

That second strategy drives me forward to study and experiment with

a passion.

 

I find people's convincer strategies amazing.

 

I still remember my first Donna Eden 2 day seminar from 9 years ago.

The entire first 2 hours was her doing unconscious convincer

strategies for having the audience with her and believing her.

 

Amazing beyond belief.

 

I think I took more notes on those convincer strategies of hers then

I did on the actual energy drills. Just kidding, they are in the

book.

 

Sincerely,

 

As I search through my 3 big library of books, book shelves, and

crates of books, looking for them...again;-)
