It is easy to read and apply the techniques. I don't know how it works but I have been helped tremendously. I was able to break through barriers and check myself on the feeling level of 1 to 10 with any emotional problem I addressed because of the material in this book. If you have an opportunity to meet Jane and Phyllip personally it will be a treat. They are gentle and careing with many years of experience in the field. If not, then you may find the video's helpful. I have attended their review/booksigning and workshops and find it benificial to have both the book and video. The video lets you see "how to" and refers to things in the book. The greatest thing I was impressed with was how easy it is to do and the positive results.
