Disappointingly TheoreticalI've tried to use this book on and off for nearly seven years now. Its concepts are great and everything appears to be laid out. However, I've never gotten it to work at all. Perhaps it's something about me, or perhaps it has to do with the book. I can really only say that I'd probably have more luck with something more substantial and rougher going. The exercises were way too spaced out between various bits of theory for me, so that I found myself skipping around a lot through the milky masses of Buddhist concepts, trying to find actual traditions. If I were writing the book myself, I'd divide it into two parts, theory and practice. However, if that were done with this book, the theory section would take up 85%-95% of the book.
I think that teaching yourself lucid dreaming is probably only accessible to people who are highly visual in the first place, or who have cultivated their visual sense, like Hervey de Saint-Denis. Westerners who study Chinese for many years tend to be able to maintain awareness while experiencing hypnagogic states, in my experience. So, I can't wait until someone translates the Saint-Denis book or reissues the French ed. in full.
I gave the book 2 stars because it still contains some practical tradition. This includes sleeping posture, visualization, and breathing exercises. The number of pages used for writing about these things is equivalent to a short essay.

Masterful Beginner Yoga BookI first found this book working in a used book store. I weighed 200 lbs and couldn't stretch past my ankles; I now weigh 150 lbs and can put my feet on the top of my head when I bend backwards. Needless to say, this is an amazing book. It starts with very easy routines and builds you up to a set of 3 1-hour long routines that you cycle on a daily basis. It teaches you in a step by step, day by day, manner that is perfect for the beginner who may find it intimidating to go to a studio with practiced yogis. This book works all the classic poses like triangle, bow, the ever impressive HEADSTAND!!!, and many more. If you're looking to become more fit, get more energy in your daily life, or help center your inner forces this book will help you achieve all three! I cannot recommend this book enough. This is the fourth copy of the book I've bought; I keep giving them to friends so they can start up and get the same amazing results I've found!

| Real life writingI know this book was written for teachers, but as a newspaper columnist, I am often asked to conduct writing workshops for adults and teens who want to become writers. Not only do DiPrince and Thurston give hundreds of prompts for on-the-spot writing exercises, many of which help the writer practice and identify good writing techniques, but they also give 50 examples of how to get started writing in "the real world," which is what most adults in these workshops want. For years I'd done my own research and shared my own experiences concerning good places to start out writing, but this list tops anything I ever did on my own. Also, as a substitute teacher, I sometimes find I have dead time to fill and these prompts are fabulous both as fillers and as full lessons for those times teachers leave no plans. There's something in here to cover all bases and as the title implies, this book provides exercise all areas of the brain.
