When Ellen DeGeneres appeared on Oprah and spoke about the profound changes that certain Toltec principles have made in her life, Dr. Susan Gregg suddenly found herself a beneficiary of that marvelous book-selling phenomena, the Oprah effect. Dr. Gregg, author of two previous books on shamanism, was deep in the process of writing her latest book. Now in paperback, The Toltec Way is a book created specifically to bring this ancient wisdom to readers in a way that is easily understood and that makes it applicable to modern life. The gift of the Toltec is in being able to transcend ordinary human awareness and achieve personal freedom. Simply put, personal freedom is the ability to choose how to act rather than react to the events in your life. The three Toltec Masteries of Awareness, Transformation, and Intent are the key to transcending your limitations and experiencing yourself as the creator of your life. This book is about change and changing yourself. It emphasizes the need to take personal responsibility for the choices in your life. Included in each chapter are exercises and guided visualizations. And, because the wisdom to be learned is often best encountered indirectly, you will find that some of the most important knowledge is hidden in the parablelike stories that are scattered throughout the book.
This book has truly changed my life - it is practical and full of wonderful tools. I read all of CC books about Don Juan and loved the stories but was clueless how to apply the philosophy to my life - this book showed me how. But there is a price - you do have to actually do the work - this is not a book you simply read and put on your shelf - it is a book that will stay with you for a long, long time. I'm from Missouri and I am a show me kind of person - this book showed me how to let go of my limitations, my fears, and connect with myself in a profound way - the writing took time but as she says in five years you'll be five years older - how do you think you will wish you spent your time.Susan is a wonderful guide if personal freedom is your desired destination. I had a few questions and when I e mailed her she responded with gentle wisdom and warmth. I have already bought copies for all my friends.Give yourself a gift and while you're at it by one for a friend.

I just finished reading THE TOLTEC WAY, and I'm stunned by the vast amount of information that is packed into only 240 pages. It is a complete roadmap for anyone to transform their life completely. Of course, it is only 240 pages, however the journey may take years to complete. But, so what? It ought to be worth the effort to find happiness and freedom. Dr. Gregg has written a great book!

So many books claim they will help you change your life, this one really will. It made me feel things I hadn't felt in years. As I used the tools clearly outlined I changed the way I thought about things. I began to act instead of react to the events in my life. I am so grateful the author took the time to share her wisdom. At the end of the book she tells readers to feel free to contact her if they have any questions - and I know she means it - she answered my questions most graciously. Buy two or more books and share them with your friends or even better with the person that bugs you the most. I even sent one to my dad.
Wow - what a great book!!!!

I read don Miguel's Four Agreements and loved it but this book takes you one step further - it shows you how to change your life in ways that are unimaginable. The teaching stories really moved me and made me think about life differently. Dr. Gregg thank you so much for writing this book and sharing it with me.
