There are so many self-help books out there that it is sometimes hard to find one that stands above the rest.  This is one of those books.  The author’s simple, straight-forward approach makes change less scary and more manageable.

The author presents the topics in two sections of the book.  Section 1 contains chapters about why certain areas in our lives don’t work.  These chapters include subjects such as:  we create our lives, how we create and destroy love, accepting 100% responsibility and letting go.  Ferguson discusses the problem, the possible reasons or rationale behind them, and then ends the chapter with action steps to take to solve them. 

Section 2 of the book is about being free of the underlying conditions that sabotage life.  Topics in this area include:  healing core issues, facing the dragon, the healing process and the opportunity of life.  As with Section 1, Ferguson discusses the core issue and then gives action to take to create a solution. 

Ferguson’s simple straight-forward approach in each chapter, when delving into tough issues, makes this book very easy to use.  A good example of this approach is in Chapter 15, Steps for More Healing.  He discusses the topic and then gives steps to take when you get upset, actions to take when an area in your life isn’t working, being free of past hurt, keeping a log of your upsets, deciding if you want to your past hurts, spending time with a friend, and finally letting yourself be human.  If you want to make the changes, then turn to the final page of the chapter where he gives you action steps to take for more healing.    

I highly recommend “Get Your Power Back” by Bill Ferguson for someone who is looking for self-healing or to give as a gift for someone who is in need of getting their power back.
