Product Description

In this teaching fable, mega-author, Richard Bach returns to his main themes: love of flight and a profound interest in metaphysics. In the course of this slim volume, Bach tells the story of a no-nonsense veteran pilot, James Forbes, and his encounters with a woman named Maria trapped in a plane without a pilot, a flamboyant hypnotist and the hypnotist's deceased wife. Like his previous books, the story is a vehicle to explore various spiritual and philosophical issues. In a sense, Bach asserts, our world is a result of one hypnotic suggestion after another and the secret of a meaningful life is learning to control those suggestions. This is what Bach says about the significance of this work: "We've had the power all along to change our hallucinations and therefore the real world! This power has been known by many labels: Positive Thinking, The Law of Attraction, The Secret . . . We do not create our own reality, it suggests, we create our own appearances, and this book shows how every one of us does it, and has done it, every day of our lives." "While it mines the same territory as The Secret, Bach's book is far richer, raising provocative questions and striking the perfect balance, providing answers without implying that they are the only - or necessarily the right - ones."

Hypnotized by his writing... Again!
Just finished reading this little gem and yet again Mr Bach comes up with the goods. One of his other titles "Jonathan Livingston Seagull: A Story" has been gently shaping certain areas of my life for many years now and I can already see that this one is not going to behave dissimilarly.

Pushing boundaries to their perceived limits and beyond. The story itself is engaging and well written, with twists and turns to keep you guessing. Underlying the story are some directions for a path of enlightenment.

Not wishing to give too much away, but if you like the way Mr Bach writes then you certainly won't be disappointed here. If you also would like to be inspired, with a new perspective on life and what it's all about, then this will definately provide some food for thought.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it has me thinking about all manner of life events, with several 'oh yeah!' moments.

Bloody Brilliant
As always form Richard Bach this is a fantastic story that puts together all of his knowledge of life
