Vision Quest in a Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
What I particularly like about this book is the variety of approaches to self discovery it offers. Readers are invited to construct a puzzle from their dreams, daydreams and personal visions to discover the larger messages coming from their unconscious. Joan Mazza always gives the power to her readers, not offering advice as much as inviting them to find their own path. If you're in the mood for a mini vision quest, this is the perfect book to get you started.

In Dream Back Your Life, Joan follows her Dreaming Your Real Self with yet another journey to our disovery of the restorative processes and the understanding our dreams have for us. Easy to read and comfortable as a close friend, Joan moves us through steps, ideas, and methods for us to take charge of our dreams and learn from their messages.
a refreshing approach to dream interpretation

I totally enjoyed this book! I tend to skim self-help books rather than read them completely, but Joan Mazza's style really drew me in. I found many practical examples of how to utilize each concept presented, which for me is very helpful. What really drew me though, was her overall approach. "This book is about making friends with your mind" says the author, and that is just the type of approach I find so valuable in letting go of some of the denial/defensiveness we have been raised with that makes it hard to truly look at ourselves. And the nice thing about exploring your dreams is it is totally personal, you re not making yourself vulnerable to others, it is a fascinating journey of self discovery. I recommend this book to anyone who wants more tools for effective self exploration.

Joan's dream and life improvement book is truly unique in a market flooded with similar material. The first thing you'll notice is her tone, the voice of a good friend speaking directly to you. What I found most fascinating was the chapter entitled "When I grow up." Here, Joan asks her readers to get in touch with their creative subconscious by remembering childhood games, hobbies, Halloween costumes and more. Rich with content and packed with helpful exercises and very insightful read!
The perfect tool to enrich your life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Whether sleeping or waking, everyone dreams -- and those dreams are an untapped source of creative personal growth. Dream Back Your Life offers clear suggestions for making use of this less-than-conscious material to help develop more fully, recover from past difficulties, explore future options. Mazza is a gentle guide, always supportive and compassionate, asking numerous thought-provoking questions and sharing her own inner life in an enlightening way. Unlike the authors of some pop dream-analysis books, she doesn't tell you what to think or what your dream means -- she leads you toward greater understanding of your own life and dream symbols. I find Mazza's approach psychologically credible and personally insightful. Whether you're in a major life transition or just dealing with "ordinary" stress, you can learn something from your daydreams and your sleeping journeys. Mazza makes the learning fun and easy.
