Partial Review as posted on my blog: www.energytappingonline.com


Tapping into Ultimate Success teaches the reader point by point how to use the tapping sequence for maximum effectiveness the book brings us to a discussion on the emotion of fear and why for so many fear is paralyzing, the reason fear is triggered by today’s society and how it hinders our success.

We learn that it is possible to eliminate fear using Tapping, the book also teaches the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset, we learn about the three different types of beliefs and the differences between them.

Tapping into Ultimate Success talks about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Thought Field Therapy (TFT) Meridian Tapping we see here a range of different energy modalities that are all encompassed under the Tapping routine, regardless of the name we use to define the tapping it is clear that using this modality to eliminate the blocks has a very high rate of success.

The information within the pages is comprehensive, Tapping into Ultimate Success has the potential to be the answer a lot of people are looking for to eliminate the blocks that often eludes them and keeps many from reaching their ultimate goals of success. It is an in depth analysis of what blocks a person from achieving their goals.

It is probably the most comprehensive book out on the market right now about the use of Meridian Tapping and targeting very specific emotions that are relevant to many which are often the main blocks to achieving goals to success.

As an EFT practitioner it has been my personal experience that the use of Meridian Tapping is a tool that everyone should have in their tool belt, it’s easily learned, can be implemented at anytime and anywhere and has such a powerful effect that it can literally transform any issue at hand.

Tapping into Ultimate Success is an incredibly well written book on the subject of Meridian Tapping and it’s use for attaining success in ones on own personal life, it is clear and precise with frequent use of real life situations to bring the reader to a clearer understanding of how the tapping can work to heal emotions that are often buried deep within the subconscious mind. It is written by two very successful authors who have a wealth of information to share with the reader, authors such as Jack Canfield, well known for his own personal success story.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who feels that they are stuck and need a fuller understanding of what is keeping them from moving forward to attain goals they have set for themselves, for those who are on the road to success but have not quite gotten there yet and wonder what they can do to speed up the process, It’s an exceptionally valuable book to own, to give to family or friends who may be on their own personal journey towards living a happier and more successful life.

I have read about EFT (emotional freedom technique) and have tried using it in the past, but never with much success. This book adds so much to the original technique. It walks you through which method of tapping to use for the emotional intensity you are feeling about any given obstacle you are experiencing in your life. The DVD shows different examples of tapping sessions, which adds to the words you just read. The techniques are very easy to learn and apply in your life. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to clear emotional baggage and improve their outlook on life.

I have clients that swear by tapping and dammit, I have to concur. Now, here, it’s a specific tapping method for specific goals and results. I don’t know about all that, but the method, reminiscent of acupuncture, seems a solid science. In my business It got tossed under the bus for years until some prestigious universities came out with some significant findings. I’m a huge Jack Canfield fan (The Success Principles was a life changer and is my forever go to as a rec for my clients that want to get the job done) but this isn’t his best work.

This is my first time to know about the technique used in the book that is considered as the center point of its content. From my limited background and knowledge in this aspect, I believe that there is no specific technique that fits everyone to be applied in order to feel empowered or to get rid of fear. In other words, the written technique might be valid for someone, but not for the other. Also, there are repetitive parts in several sections in the book. Finally, you feel empowered somehow while going through some parts, but I believe it could've been more attractive.

Loy Machedo’s Book Review - Tapping Into Ultimate Success by Jack Canfield & Pamela Burner

Placebo as per Wikipedia is defined as a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient.

And in today’s world you have enough and more crack-pot pseudo-science & claims to go around like Healing Crystals, Energy Meditation, Fragrances, Auras, Rekhi healing, Homeopathy, Praying and Spiritual healings. And to add to all this comes another crackpot theory & pseudoscience called – Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping. During these sessions, the client will focus on specific issues while tapping on so called “end points of the body’s energy meridians”.

Jack Canfield will all his success with Chicken Soup Series and then the Self Improvement Material, has started to do anything and everything to ensure he achieves his vision of becoming the Author who has sold 1 billion books worldwide. But at what price?

In this metaphysical book, Jack Canfield along with Pamela Burner have come up with this inordinate theory that tapping into different parts of the body will produce changes in your emotional states. And then to add even more value to this theory, they have come up with this DVD where they give you a live video based example.

Now though I have an open mind into learning new things, I experimented with this so called theory and found it to be absolutely futile. I mean what a bloody waste of time, money and effort into a claim that is as ridiculous and stupid as believing in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy and Flying Unicorns.

Jack Canfield in his quest to become a 1 Billion Books Author is slowly yet surely joining the ranks of so many one-time-famous authors like Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar and Tom Hopkins who are today a dying breed. There is no demand for their material and if there is, it may only suit beginners who have never read a single book in their life. In fact, what worked for these authors is no longer going to prove effective because people have realized a simple truth - Just because you have achieved success as a Businessman, Speaker and Author, does not mean everyone who purchases your stuff is going to achieve the same result. A sad attempt by a once big brand. And to add to the misery – other authors like Brain Tracy, Marci Shimoff, John Gray (can you believe – even him!) and T. Harv Eker have given their testimonials to help him sell the book – so that Jack Canfield can do them the favor in return.

To me, this book was an absolute waste of time and money and among the many books, I rate this one of the worst books of the decade. Please – Do not accept this book even if it came in for free.

Overall Rating
Zero out of 10.

This is not a book to read, but to use. So I skimmed through it, did a few exercises which actually released some old memories despite the fact that I have a hard time believing that tapping works!
So for now I have put it somewhere where I see it often so that next time it grabs my attention I know I have something that I need to let go of. Something where tapping can help me with.

This book gives some interesting details for advanced users of EFT. It includes using the 10 point scale to determine how you tap. It is a great book for people who are already versed in the basics of EFT and can take you a lot further in the specific ways to eliminate unwanted fear, anger, and depression. It is also an excellent guide to tapping on your specific situation.
