Dear John, I absolutely LOVE your book! You've done a masterful job with it! I wish it had been around when I was teaching high school. Thank you for thinking of me and for sending me the additional copies. I am going to recommend you teach a class here and suggest that we carry it at our Quiet Mind Bookstore. Richest blessings, and congratulations! Love, Reverend Greta --Email correspondence

Hi Johnny B,. How ya doin'? I'm lovin' your book! I showed it to a Thai shrink that I go to every once in a while, and he totally believe the benefits of writing and envisioning etc... His take on it is that we build own own future/destiny, and that writing kinda cements what we want/desire. I especially liked the envisioning part in your book. I have tried it in my classroom, and I'm just beginning, but I found the immediate benefit is that it changes me, not necessarily my students. That is good in on a stressful day. It seems to make the day bearable when I am reaching my limits on patience and energy; kinda like a boost. It is good to be writing again. I was blocked for long time. I have a secret spot that I go to and have a coffee, and write...good stuff. Thanks Bro! Steve O. (High School Teacher, Chiang Mai, Thailand) --Email correspondence
