Šią knygą gavau dovanų iš "Savigudo knygynas". Dėkoju!

"John Demartini is considered one of the world's leading authorities on human behavior and personal development." - Wow! - Tiesa, tai rašoma jo paties tinklapyje. Visada įdomu, kaipgi ir kodėl gi būtent taip elgiasi žmonės, todėl perskaityti sutikau. Šiek tiek nepriimtinas man asmeniškai pasirodė amerikietiškas pozityvizmas visame kame ir juntamas nuolatinis "tu gali, nes tu super" požiūris. Jau senokai pajutau, kad man tapšnojimo per petį ir "judinimo" lyg ir nereikia, todėl ši knyga labiau praverstų tiems, kurie ieško tiesioginio palaikymo ir skatinimo iš šalies. Yra šiek tiek "vandens" - dieviškųjų patirčių, tobulybių ir pan. bet gal esu per daug racionali ir knyga stengiamasi pakutenti ir dvasinius sluoksnius? Teko sutikti kelis žmones, kuriems Demartini tikrai yra vienas iš mėgstamiausių autorių ir sektinų pavyzdžių. Sudėtingos būtybės tie žmogeliai.

description

Už ką galiu rašyti + - knygos tapimas beveik vadovėliu. Yra užduočių, verčiančių pasigilinti į save ir savo tikslus, vietos užrašams, kryptims. Džiugu, kad autorius daug kur remiasi savo paties patirtimi, kartais net iš šeimyninio gyvenimo - visos mintys ir užduotys tampa šiek tiek aiškesnės ir suprantamesnės kasdieniniam skaitytojui. Atsiranda suvokimas, kaip autoriaus technikas galima panaudoti praktiškai. Yra daug "teisingų" minčių - buvimas čia ir dabar, tikslų kėlimas, koncentracija, atidumas, nuolatinė veiksmų, žmonių analizė. Bandoma pakeisti žmogaus mąstymą afirmacijomis, meditacijos patarimais. Autorius yra dirbęs su daugybe žmonių, gerai išmano psichologiją.

Linkiu kiekvienam patirti proveržį ir sugebėti išlaikyti jo teikiamus privalumus kasdien. That's way harder, believe me.

Demartini is so far ahead of every other present day teacher that he's come full circle to see the positive in the negative and the negative in the positive. Is he nuts? Well he would say he is, but the flip side is that he's also a genius (and he applies his wisdom daily). Let's just say he's embraced the yin/yang of perception and that has made him balanced. With love and gratitude in his heart and certainty and presence in his mind, Demartini has written this book to introduce you to the "Great Discovery". This Great Discovery is an experiential state that transcends time and space when realized and it surpasses any depressed or elevated state when fully embraced. Demartini's wisdom may be over your head until you've had a chance to let his material sink in, but in time you'll realize that the truth he shares has always been within the light of your own understanding.

This book was transforming. It will be added to my list of books that have impacted me greatly. I truly experienced a 'breakthrough' experience on my outlook on life. My most powerful take away -with the bad comes the good, with the good comes the bad - that's life, embrace it.

I think you'll enjoy this book more if you've seen Demartini at one of his speaking events. I also think reading this book will help you gain more from his talks. I don't know which one should come first. Otherwise, the book does a great job of communicating his philosophy.

Labiausiai sujaudino autoriaus vaikystė, tai juk berniukas, kuris niekada neišmoks nei skaityti, ar rašyti, arba tai bus labai sunku. Ir pažiūrėkit, tai žmogus, kuris veda seminarus, rašo knygas, padeda žmonėms, ir keliauja po pasaulį. Knyga, proveržio patirtis, nustebino dar neskaitytom, ir negirdėtom asmenybės transformacijom. Nors knygų skaitytų šią tema yra nemažai, šį paliko didžiausia įspūdį. Verta perskaityti kiekvienam, kuris nori kardinaliai pakeisti savo gyvenimą!

Mini psichologijos vadovėlis ieškantiems kelio į asmenybės transformaciją, trokštantiems atrasti savo gyvenimo kelią ir džiaugsmą jame bei išlaisvinti savo mintis.

„Proveržio patirtis“ – praktinė saviugdos knyga, kuri padės geriau suprasti, kodėl mes gyvename taip, kaip gyvename, kokie yra efektyviausi ir naudingiausi būdai pasiekti visišką pilnatvę ir pusiausvyrą gyvenime bei kaip nukreipti savo mintis teigiama linkme, siekiant savo tikslų ir svajonių.

Autorius John F. Demartini knygą parengė pagal savo seminaro „Proveržio patirtis“ programą. Tekstą papildė savo asmenine gyvenimo istorija, žymių saviugdos mokytojų citatomis bei pasakojimais apie realybėje sutiktus žmones, kuriems padėjo jo paties sukurtas metodas.

Demartini'o metodas – religijos ir mokslo sąveika paremtas metodas, skirtas atrasti arba suprasti savo gyvenimo tikslą bei pasiekti visišką vidinę pilnatvę. Šis metodas padeda identifikuoti savo iškreiptas mintis ir jausmus, juos suprasti ir nukreipti tinkama linkme, siekant savo svajonių. Nes tik keisdami mintis, mes keičiame savo gyvenimą.

Iš pradžių į šią knygą žiūrėjau skeptiškai. Nesumeluosiu sakydama, kad dabar kone kiekvienas sėkmingu save laikantis žmogus aiškina kitiems, kaip reikia gyventi, kaip elgtis ir ką mastyti, dažnas ir knygą parašo. Tad paėmusi šią knygą į rankas, galvojau, kad taip ir bus – turėsiu dar vieną įtikinėjimo ir moralizavimo, kaip reikia teisingai gyventi, pamoką. Bet, mano nuostabai, „Proveržio patirtis“ buvo visai kitokia knyga nei iki šiol mano skaitytos knygos saviugdos/savipagalbos tema. Gerąja prasme, žinoma.

Labai nustebau, kad autorius nemoralizuoja ir neaiškina, kad turime gyventi, elgtis ir veikti pagal kažkieno nustatytas taisykles taip ir ne kitaip. Priešingai – visas dėmesys skiriamas suvokimui, kad savo gyvenimą lemiame tik mes patys, kad viskas užkoduota mūsų mintyse ir, jas nukreipę tinkama linkme, galime ne tik atrasti vidinę pilnatvę, bet ir pasiekti visus savo tikslus bei didžiausias svajones. Tuo mane ši knyga tikrai sužavėjo, nes nėra taip lengva identifikuoti mintis, trukdančias pasiekti užsibrėžtų tikslų ir jas pakeisti tokiomis, kurios ne stabdytų, o padėtų judėti ten, kur reikia.

Ir nors iš pradžių labai apsidžiaugiau pamačiusi, kad po kiekvieno skyriaus pateikiami pratimai, padėsiantys labiau įsisavinti tame skyriuje pateiktą medžiagą bei aiškiau suprasti, kaip veikia Demartini'o metodas, juos išbandžiusi, likau kiek nusivylusi.

Ne visi, bet koks trečdalis buvo tokie, kurie man asmeniškai nedavė jokios naudos. Supratau autoriaus norus ir tikslus, bet, deja, ne visų skyrių pratimai suveikė taip, kaip jis tikėjosi. Nesakau, kad tai blogai, nes, jeigu man nepadėjo ir nepasiteisino, dar nereiškia, kad nepasiteisins kažkam kitam. Tikriausiai tame ir yra šios knygos esmė – atrasti sau tinkamiausius ir veiksmingiausius būdus.

Ir visgi, nepaisant to vienintelio minuso, ši knyga man tikrai patiko ir galiu drąsiai teigti, kad bent kol kas ji geriausia iš mano skaitytų saviugdos knygų. Tiek gerų minčių ir citatų iki šiol dar nebuvau radusi jokioje kitoje knygoje! Supratau, kaip veikia šis metodas, atradau sau tinkančius būdus ir, tikiu, ateityje tikrai vadovausiuosi Demartini'o metodu, siekdama išgryninti savo mintis bei nukreipti jas savo svajonių ir tikslų link bei atrasti vidinę pusiausvyrą, pilnatvę ir gyvenimo džiaugsmą.

„Proveržio patirtis“ puikiai tiks ieškantiems savo gyvenimo kelio, sunkiai valdantiems savo emocijas ir jausmus, išgyvenusiems sunkią netektį, kenčiantiems nuo priklausomybių ar tiesiog ieškantiems būdų tobulėti. Ši knyga tikrai nepadarys jūsų laimingo, bet padės rasti būdų, kaip tą laimę ir džiaugsmą susikurti.

Senseless book. Author even has said himself in the book that he has no qualifications and just started proclaiming to be an international motivational speaker one day.

Stories are superficial and would not work in the real world. Author believes to be right about everything and continuously down talks any beliefs of anyone else. Again without any experience or qualification or studies.

Not a great read and book irritated my soul.

One of my all time favorites. I keep it close as occasional re-read when I need a shot in the common sense arm. My wife and I also read it aloud together. Thanks John D.

The family that I work for gifted me this incredible book. They have attended his seminars, workshops and have even completed a few of his courses. I honestly never heard of him, but was told he was similar to Louise Hay whom I adore.

I would love to start off this review like the others: with a few quotes that resonated with me... But, there were too many to actually remember, much less add.

For so long I wanted to understand Freud's philosophy deeper. The theory that what we hate/love in other people is really just an illusion and projection of ourselves. I feel like Dr. Demartini really answered that longstanding question for me. I finally was able to grasp it in a more 'factual' approach, if that is the correct word to explain it? You're able to apply the method, which is great to fully comprehend and gain insight. However, that was not the only thing he spoke of. The book dragged on in the first few chapters, hinting what the method was... Which became annoying to me. But, I overlooked it because there was so much substance. There's hardly any repetition.

Definitely a new favourite of mine and a must read for all.

The basic premise and idea behind the book are solid. Dr. Demartini is clearly a spiritually enlightened individual, and his passion for sharing what he believes to be true is evident throughout. I read the book from cover to cover and found several parts that I wanted to highlight for later reference.

However, I do have a concern about the book's overly preachy tone. Additionally, many of the stories from people he has worked with seem either unrealistic or at least embellished. This includes his own experiences. The narratives often come across as theatrical and almost formulaic, typically concluding with everyone hugging and crying. I also struggled to believe parts of his own story as he narrated it. I could attribute this skepticism to my own cynicism if I didn't read about his encounter with Wayne Dyer.

While I find that most books like this are mostly intended for marketing purposes, I appreciate that, in this case, Dr. Demartini, while promoting his program "Quantum Collapse," provides all the necessary steps for the entire process. He even includes forms, questions, and exercises that enable readers to engage with his concepts independently.

Keep an open mind when starting this book: re-read some of the information given in this book, until you understand it’s full meaning, it’s a really powerful read, keep a highlighter and pen with it, so many things will stand out that you will want to remember, I know I will be coming back to this book time and time again as a guide, so enlightening and uplifting. Five stars well deserved ⭐️

Be prepared to be awakened

This book is by far the most practically engaging book I've read on self actualization and awakening. In order to reap its benefits to the fullest, you have to be open minded and already embarking on a journey of self discovery. One of my all time favourites.

Fabulous book and lots of tasks to get the mind expanded. One of the best when it comes to personal development. Have just completed the Master plan for life course with Dr Demartini and had tears of gratitude as I answered some of the questions during the course. I think this book will be on my yearly list to read.

Skaičiau daug saviugdos knygų, ši būtų viena iš geresnių. Metodas negirdėtas, mintys nesikartoja, daug pratimų ir praktikos. Šio metodų galima išsigydyti arba kitaip pažiūrėti į savo traumas, pamilti ir atleisti savo skriaudėjams, apgaubti save meile ir žiūrėjimu iš širdies. Daug meilės. Knygoje viskas taip pat remiasi į Dievą.

it’s a work book

You are not just reading inspirational words, you have exercised to help you become who you would like to be.
Some parts repeat themselves but it’s good, we imprint them in our minds so we can scratch the big fining of a great change.
Thank you.

Great book !
Its quite different from all other law of attraction books in market. Its worth reading after reading all other law of attraction books. Its more focus on the technique called quantum collapse, which help in realizing / thinking beyond most people think.
