Summary: READ THE BOOK;CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Comment: Positive Directions is brilliantly simple. Ryder treats you with intelligence, a droll sense of humor; his absolute belief in his discoveries makes YOU believe. If you are impatient, as I was,you can jump around, choose from the the Master Keys; for ex. 7-The Flow and Exchange of Energy. Once I mastered it, if it was a day I didn't want to read or study, I could simply look at the chapter heading, and my day and attitude was improved. As I am a performer and acting coach, I'm describing emotional recall-one of the reasons I describe this book as brilliantly simple. In other words, take it one step at a time, use the excellent charts, and you will be working from your deliberate mind. If you think you've read all the "self -help" books you can stand, please realize that Positive Directions is in a class by itself.

Summary: Positive Directions
Comment: TRIBUTE TO A TIMELY WORLD PSYCHOLOGY


POSITIVE DIRECTIONS by Dr. John Ryder is a really engaging read,

devoted to developing successful change in our lives through eliminating

stress and elevating happiness. I have concluded that his messages and

methods work extremely well, as they have helped me immensely with my

professional global endeavors.


Located in Midtown Manhattan, I am a professor of world culture and

communication, UN representative for world social development, and

currently creator/chair of a special world conference Sophia 2010

Women and Wisdom to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria May 2010. Constantly,

I encounter diverse communication dynamics of cultures that think and

act based on polarities. It can be challenging and exhausting. I have

applied his approach to understanding the complexity of polarities to my

work,successfully reducing stress. Furthermore, I share his wisdom to help

others, including my students, worldwide.


As a professional who also helps people with human relationships,

I realize that Dr. Ryder's vast education and extensive global experience

have enabled him to integrate the best contributions Eastern and Western

Civilizations have to offer to create a new world psychology. I recognize

that he has addressed a quite complicated subject and explained it clearly

for all of us to understand. He narrates moving anecdotes as examples to

which we can all relate compassionately. His messages and methods provide

insights and solutions to balance our own lives and to move freely forward

on our life journeys. He profoundly believes that our ability to change

is connected to using the golden keys he offers, that we actually all have

in our hands, to unlock the prisons in our minds that harm and hold us

from achieving our dreams and goals.


Do read POSITIVE DIRECTIONS, and may it change the direction of your lives

positively as it has mine.

Summary: great book, fantastic read!
Comment: I just started to read this book and what I learned in the third chapter about the triplex mind helped me so much to understand myself, my reactions to people and/or situations, that I already feel i got a tremendous amount from this book and I didn't even finish it yet! Everyday now I think twice before I say or do something, I try to use my deliberate mind, my higher self. it's a great read, you can learn so much about how the mind works, I'm loving it!
