Doesn't do what it says on the tin - By: wannabe, 30 Mar 2008 
From the title, I was expecting the usual format of a self-help book. However, this is more in the form of a biography, similar to the books of Doreen Virtue; but lacking the 'ah-ha!' moments & insights that I often find in those. It also lacked the more in-depth science I was hoping for. There was some interesting information; but it wasn't everything I needed to know, & by the end I didn't feel good.
A misleading title but an excellent book - By: N. Betts, 01 Oct 2007 
Am motvated to write this in response to the first reviewers comment. It would seem she has been mislead & therefore disappointed by the book. It is not your usual self-help book, rather a journey with candace pert whereby you learn of some interesting organisations, amazing theories on health & 'bodymind' & the struggle of one woman trying to cure AIDS. Having read her previous book 'molecule of emotion' - i found this far more accessible, maybe as a reaction to the over scientific nature of 'molecules'. This book doesn't give a 'happy' formula, it does totallly open up the narrow definition we have of science & its applications, with some mind blowing facts along the way.
everything you need to know about me, me, me - By: A. Reader, 11 May 2007 
I was looking forward to reading this book, having heard much about Candace Pert as a feminist scientist, & its title seemed to promise so much ... but I found the style almost unbearable. I've read many self-help books (as I have recently been ill), & most of them - from Louise Hay to Deepak Chopra - are motivated towards the reader & are compasionate & giving in their advice. But this book was about the author not the readers. It followed Candace as she gave papers, did book signings, met friends for coffee & flew on planes, alll the time reminding us what great work she had done & how her audience loved her. I'm sure this is true - but this was not how the book advertised itself. I was hoping for insight & sound advice - what I got was a self-absorbed & meandering disappointment. I've not written a review before - but I was motivated to write this one to save other people from wasting money when there are so many other books that offer so much more.
