Hilarious and, naturally, enlightening

Isabel Losada explores the many means through which people try to attain physical, emotional and spiritual growth and healing, often taking a hunorous slant on her experiences. She goes wholeheartedly into each new adventure and expertly gives her reader the step-by-step process she experiences, how it feels, if it worked, all while making you laugh out loud! My favorite was the colonic cleansing! Hilarious!

Made me laugh out loud and it's life changing too...

Not many authors can do this. Fantastic stuff.

I found myself becoming the author both mentally and spiritually- I felt all the...

Coming Alive

It's a funny thing, but the person you are probably least likely to know is…yourself. Isabel to the rescue: this marvellous book is about achieving self-awareness through taking life-changing seminars—some run by batty spiritual specialists. In this hilarious book, she runs the gamut from a Tantric Sex weekend to a Goddess workshop, from earthly encounters with Angels to a spot of Rolfing. While being skeptical about all these...
