Here is a recent review from Ninja Phoenix - http://ninjaphoenix.blogspot.com/
The title is just as alluring as what's behind the cover. After turning the page, what to expect is not what it seems would be in a book of this type. Some begin reading this book thinking it talks about some type of Ninjitsu, but in actuality it talks about the philosophical principals behind the old ways. This book is what allows me to achieve the things I want in life and anyone not reading this needs to be doing so because it gets you to see life in a whole different way.
I was fortunate enough to have found this book one day while searching on Amazon. In it you will find ways to live your life for you and not for anyone else, which is what so many of us seem to do these days. What do I mean? Well, how many of us have had the misfortunate of having family or friends who do not want you to go after your dreams, instead they want you to die trying and then when you're down, they want to be there to pick you up and say "I told you so". This book gets it! So you should too by reading it and realizing what your true potential is!
We all need to stop people stealing our energy. Energy which is ours to use as we see fit, ours to achieve our dreams - ours, mine, yours. This book gives you that energy back!
I realized that when we are born we live without nervousness and without the fear, and as we become adults that fear becomes part of us. So because of things we heard or were told as children, we begin to grow and take these negative reminders. We start to adapt them into who we are when this was not us. This book can show you how to be who you were and remind you of all that you can become.
The narrator is easy to follow with ways to get through life. The moment I started reading, I couldn't put down this book. I was so in tune with how I felt that it was only fair I write this post so others are able to achieve their full individual potential and become an even better person.
It should be your gut feeling after reading this book that everything that we are taught from birth is nothing but negative force from society and parenting. This book should be required reading for people who are going to be future parents and those who already have children. It teaches us how delicate the minds of our children are.
The most important lesson from this book is that everything that happens to a person affects them whether they realize it or not. It's amazing how many similarities I found to myself while reading it.
