"By the time you finish this book, there will be nothing holding you back." —from the Introduction

Most people have a vision for their lives that they're not pursuing, half-heartedly pursuing, or pursuing with all their might yet somehow falling short. This vision can be modest or grand. It may involve breaking free of a destructive habit or finding a truly healthy relationship. It might have to do with making a real difference in the world or helping to lead a company to extraordinary success. In The One Thing Holding You Back, Raphael Cushnir, a leading voice in the world of personal and professional development, reveals that whenever people aren't living their dreams it's because they're not yet willing and able to feel specific emotions related to those dreams. Once we access and understand these emotions, our dreams can and will come true.

Cushnir asserts that mere emotional awareness, commonly referred to as emotional intelligence, is not enough. For maximum benefit we must directly and consistently connect with our emotions. In particular, we need to connect with the emotions we routinely avoid, resist, or attempt to dismiss. It's these emotions that possess the key to our greatest goals. And learning to connect with them is another rarely taught but essential skill.

The One Thing Holding You Back provides real solutions that can be implemented immediately and without external support and includes true stories of people who have put Cushnir's process to work and transformed their lives. Delivering a step-by-step program in accessible language, this landmark book will turn the obstacles in front of us into tremendous opportunities for achieving the life we always wanted.

Summary: Awakening to life
Comment: It's taken me some time to grasp the simplicity of what Raphael Cushnir is sharing. This "technique" is not about bringing up old emotions-- as another reviewer stated-- but more aptly about finally allowing the current emotion, and there's always a current (pun intended), to be experienced. And past issues emerge in the current moment, so as you meet each scary emotion, you are finally allowing the past its life--which includes its decline and death. I have, since reading his work and seeing him live, permitted myself to face the whorling/crashing/sledgehammering of emotion that at times takes me over and paralyzes me. I let it cycle through and then I open my eyes and it's like I have moved through the eery eye of the storm and survived. How clear the air is, how crisp the colors are around me.

My take-away is that I am able to expand what I am capable of experiencing so that I don't live by avoiding what brings up those emotions, emotions that I am too scared to really experience. Hello, life obligations that I feel incapable of meeting? Hello every creative technique of avoidance and procrastination that time and money will afford, hello guilt and self-blame. I have known them well.

I am in touch, in a sentient way, with the borders of my self. It's a kick if you are someone who is used to hiding out from your own self. And I say this as someone who has read alot, workshopped a lot, and searched alot for what would deliver me from my demons. I have learned immensely from all the modalities I've explored, but Raphael has helped to clarify and lovingly simplify. I finally sense that I can meet my demons (scary feelings) and sit with them. And they're not demons at all, just perhaps life as it was meant to be. Maybe the point of life is to know the contours of the human experience, and to do as little harm in that as possible--just a thought I play with. And it's all just one moment at a time.

We have been taught what to do ie, "feel your emotions" but few have taught us in detail just "how" to do that. This book is just that primer.
Thanks Raphael.

Summary: Connect With Your Self, Connect With Others
Comment: There are a number of self-help books out there, each of which purports to help you in a different way. In //The One Thing Holding You Back//, the solution is to take a closer look at how your body reacts when you experience certain emotions, and learn how to deal with your emotions through meditating on those reactions. The method is great for someone looking to solve some of their immediate problems, and it's a decent method for exploring problems that stand in your way of success. However, these methods may open a door to greater problems, even promoting breakthroughs, and the book doesn't help deal with greater underlying problems; it should not be used in place of professional therapy.

Used as a method to get in touch with yourself, //The One Thing Holding You Back// is a great book. However, it won't help when the deeper therapy is required. Also, for those familiar with visualization techniques, there is nothing really ground-breaking here. As a primer, there is a lot to recommend, but there is little advanced knowledge to offer.

Summary: EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique is better!
Comment: This book tells you to bring up old emotions (correct approach), but does not give you a viable way to resolve the issue. For instance, if you are afraid your book will fail, you get together a bunch of friends to say things like: "you really should reconsider being a writer; your writing isn't that good or interesting." Now, you have the emotions brought up, you are just suppose to deep breathe and process them. This is not sufficient.

I recommend that readers of this book search out EFT. EFT tells you to bring up the emotion and then you use accupressure techniques to heal them.

Summary: Another amazing book!
Comment: I could tell just from the title that this book would be powerful for me! Raphael Cushnir has the ability to describe what to do in terms that are easy to understand and implement. I have read "The Secret" and many other good books but this one has definitley given me the "how to" break through what was still keeping me stuck. How liberating! If you are unhappy, overweight, financially strapped or just at your wits' end, GET THIS BOOK!!

Summary: Raphael nails it again.
Comment: I recently saw Raphael. This new book really struck a cord with me. I started using the technique and got immediate results. I've continued with it. One of the best things I can say about his work is that he simplifies things I've heard before. He breaks things down and makes them easy to integrate. I've grown since I started using his earlier books, but this one addressed the areas in which I was stuck. I highly recommend this and his other books.
