[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would recommend this book to any healers, people interested in self-sustainability, or people who are interested in the dozens of areas this book covers, from acupressure to yoga, color zone therapy to self-hynopsis. The book's 496 pages contain a startling amount of information in, yes, small print. Old-fashioned format, selections culled from a variety of other sources, could easily lead to a more in-depth study of any of the areas. One of the aspects I most appreciated was the emphasis on practicality for self-healing.
