"In this hope-filled offering, Orloff (Emotional Freedom) posits that the only way to live a powerful, successful life is to surrender to it. Blending neuroscience, energy medicine, psychiatry, and the art of intuition, Orloff, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA, addresses major life issues by breaking them into 12 different "surrenders," including "redefining true success, power, and happiness"; the "four vital insights into power and letting go"; "cultivating impeccable communication"; and "exploring the divinity of your body and sexuality." With a compassionate and empowering tone, she counsels others not to micromanage life details, but to be in "flow" with them and to look for the lessons in all situations as well as to refuse to live a life governed by fear. Self-assessment quizzes allow readers to measure their level of involvement in self-defeating behaviors; helpful and non-judgmental suggestions provide strategies for overcoming these negative mind-sets. Orloff demonstrates her own adherence to these principles by unflinchingly sharing her own experiences in the spirit of teaching others." --Publishers Weekly
