Being You, Changing the World Paperback – March 7, 2013

I bought the printed version of the book when it first came out and just recently got it on my kindle too. I remember the first time I read the first 2 chapters of the book. I just cried with relief. I really didn't know there were other people out there who felt as 'out of place' as I did... and I just loved the way Dain could candidly talk about his life and changing it with such vulnerability and humour and kindness. There are so many cool tools and questions in this book. For someone who has learned reiki, bowen therapy, theta healing, gone to heaps of 'psychic' and spiritual things just trying to find something useful to give me some kind of way to be in the world and actually enjoy my life.. this is jam-packed of awesome stuff. I like the style of writing. It's different and fun, and always totally genuine. I had so many 'lightbulb' and 'aha' moments about why things weren't working the way I'd like.. and even better - there are always a bunch of questions, tools and things to put into practice right away to change things - and they are simple and easy and don't require you spending ages mulling over your drama or trauma... you can just change it.One of my favourite things that Dr Heer talks about is 'Interesting Point of View" - I will say this to myself a lot when I am getting upset or really irritated with someone or something. By the time I say 'interesting point of view I have this point of view' for the 3rd time in my head, suddenly the person stops being cranky or irritating, or something else just happens and there's no longer an issue. Can't really explain it, but I have tried it out even when dealing with the most obnoxious people in my life... and stuff changes. It's very cool. Now I have 85% less things to get upset about... must get a new hobby! ;-) Thanks Dr Dain for sharing your story, and for helping us different people know that we are not alone, and we are not messed up and that living here can be magic and fun... and not just survivable.By the way, I have read a lot of self-help books, and I always felt I walked away with very little in terms of things I could actually DO to change my life that actually were fun or inspirational. This book is both - it's fun, it's inspirational and useful. OH, and Dr Dain and Gary Douglas (founder of Access Consciousness on which the tools of Dains book are based) actually have an online radio show too- Access Consciousness, on Voice America which is very out there and cool, recommend a listen to hear these tools in action by the guys themselves!

Wowza! First, some background: I have taken Bars class twice, and have dabbled in Access for the last 5 years. Even though I knew it was awesome and light for me, I put it on the back burner while finishing college. I'm beginning to practice more and take more classes. I'm also reading more books and using night loops.Now for this book: It took me 8 months to finish it. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, but I kept putting it down. It was a lot of awareness to handle at once. I decided to finish it on a plane trip. It is my new favorite book! I'm so glad that I hung in there and kept picking it up until I was ready to complete it! There are so many tools here! Dr. Dain introduced sooo many possibilities that I had never considered. The chapters on death and abuse are truly the most valuable to me. I am so grateful for Gary, Dain, and this modality called Access consciousness. They have truly changed my life, and I'm so very excited to see what shows up for me now, what choices I can make, and how I can continue to the Earth.This book is a great addition to the library of anyone who knows that there is something more out there, but is not wrote sure how to grasp it. I will gleefully read it periodically for continued and deeper clearing. How does it get even better than this? What else is possible?

I find it so interesting that I felt annoyed by Dr. Dain for so long. He was too happy. Ironically, I've learned that he felt the same way about happy people during his past. Thank god he chose to share his truth even knowing intimately what a judgemental lot we can all be.Despite devouring hours of content I loved from him on YouTube already, throughout this book, I wanted to disagree with him and fight back with "logic" or "sense". But that moment never came. I have continually had my mind and my life expanded in such a profound way over the 2 weeks of slowly digesting this book everyday. Everything has felt light to me. The things I've been in judgement about have been melting away.The entire book is a comprehensive clearing. I don't think it's possible to read it without having some sort of transformation take place. And the best part, is that I can literally clear massive emotional charges that are rocking my world, with one clearing statement, repeated one time. I've never encountered a tool that effective, because I had subscribed to someone else's opinion about what is possible.I attended a seminar 2 days ago and I had someone tell me that I had profoundly changed their world, even though we had only spoken for a few minutes. He even came over and thanked me afterward, expressing his gratitude again. The beautiful, ridiculous thing about it, is that all I did was look straight into his eyes and acknowledge his valuable presence and how it made me feel intuitively. I didn't hide that I'm empathic, I didn't feel embarrassed afterwards and quite frankly, being myself was the easiest and most fulfilling thing I've ever done. And look at how wonderful that was for my new friend also. Who knew? 😉

Great product! No marks or water stains visible. The book arrived before the expected date.
