Book Description
Real people, real transformations!
"Absolutely amazing! It completely shifts your paradigm for life. One of the most wonderful things about it is that the results are immediate. My whole perception and relationship to money has undergone a major, substantial change."
—Chris Attwood, writer and teacher, California
"I've spent most of my life trying to figure out what's true and what's real. I have to say I now have a clear glimpse into what it really is."
—Tom Hill, Colorado
"Before Busting Loose from The Money Game, I was very unhappy and frustrated in my life. I was driven to find more ways to make money. I changed jobs, cities, countries, went back to school, read books. Financially, the stress was causing anxiety attacks and migraines so severe I stayed in bed. The joy I feel now is priceless. Money is there when I need it, in the amount that's needed, no matter what occurs (car repairs, unplanned trips, etc.). It's absolutely amazing!"
—Suresh Thakoor, Texas
"As a retired professor on a fixed and limited income, I always lived from a tight budget and felt compressed by it-especially at the end of the year. I don't use a budget anymore and have opened up new streams of income that were always closed to me in the past."
—Howard Rovics, Connecticut
"It opened a whole new dimension for me and shifted my perspective on life completely. I especially love how practical it is. The application is so simple, so effective . . . and fun!"
—Doris Kahle, Hagen, Germany
"I'd had a lot of success in the corporate arena, made a ridiculous amount of money and lost a ridiculous amount of money. But I was caught in a cycle of making it, losing it. I needed to break that cycle-for myself and my family-and this gave me the keys to do that. Busting Loose from The Money Game opened a window I had no clue even existed. This is very cutting-edge, a revolutionary approach to unwrapping yourself from limitations. If you're not satisfied with where you are financially and you're concerned about your future, get this book!"
—Ben Coleman, Texas

This book has NOTHING to do with money. Don't waste your time or money.......2007-09-30
This book has nothing to do with money. It is a book full of vain philosophies, none of which are backed with any proof whatsoever. If you are looking for good books on managing money, getting out of debt, or building wealth I would recommend books such as: The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey; Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki; Multiple Streams of Income by Robert Allen; and Money, What Financial "Experts" Will Never Tell You by Alan Williams, Peter Jeppson, and Sanford Botkins. Also check out the website and resources found at [...].
Is Comfort Important To You?.......2007-09-28
Like others have said, the idea is the world, including the human experience is holographic. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I'd save a lot then expect to lose it over the course of a year or more it would take you to cross the mental point where you 'bust loose' and really convince yourself that life and money aren't real. At the very least, do not owe anyone money. I just could not vibe with this book for long. I'd rather save, invest and get stuff I want.
Try the library. I never read it now.
An Amazing Book.......2007-09-20
This is an amazing book that really helps the reader to eliminate the sources of dissatisfaction in his/her life if one is willing to commit to The Process. After just a few short days of using The Process I have had some incredible personal breakthroughs and I eagerly look forward to what else I create within my life experience.
My inspiration to buy this book came largely from the few really negative reviews written on this site. Thank you to all those who shared their fears in the form of attacks against the book and its author. I have been clearly shown again that there is tremendous value in that which stirs up so much emotion as people keep their death grip on obsolete views of the nature of life. The world never was flat just because people believed that to be true, acted as if it were true, and invested their lives in protecting those beliefs.
In the pages of this book you will not find strategies on how to earn more money or to protect what you already think that you have, however you will find a strategy to recover all of the energy and power that you have given to your life situations. As you recover this power you will have the capacity to act more boldly to pursue the unique authentic life that you came here to live.
If you have any inclination to buy the book, just go for it. Then give yourself the gifts of reading it with an open mind and applying its wisdom to your life.
Whether you liked the book or not - HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
Author FAILS to prove his thesis, to put his money where his mouth is. .......2007-08-19
The author proposes that money is an illusion (agreed)and that you can create all the money you want by fully transcending the illusion. He gives a primitive method to eliminate negative beliefs and emotional charges about money --(Psycanics offers a more precise, faster, less painful and more powerful technique.) The book is well written and interesting, even plausible. The reason I fail the book with 1 star is that, at the end, the author states that it is possible to have an infinite abundance of money (one way is writing "magic" checks that are always good). However, the author apparently has never done this. He says he still has multiple streams of normal income from books and businesses and speaking engagements. Until the author proves his thesis by eliminating all human income sources and actually lives wealthy by the means he proposes, this book is just a FANTASY.
Not about the money.......2007-08-11
Overall good information relating to life...but a bit far fetched to grasp. Nothing is real except your consciousness. Not a money strategy really, more of a mindset of just not caring cause nothing is real.
Customer Reviews:
Incredible book.......2007-10-03
Has helped me and so many people I know to really individualize as adults and to understand the dynamics and patterns that are created and that we live by with our adult parents.
Changed my Life.......2002-09-08
I have NEVER been a person who believed that a self-help book could change your life. But this one changed mine! I read this book years ago (I am buying it now for a friend). I was in my 30's and I was still intimidated by my mother's manipulation. This book made me slap my forehead and say to myself "why on earth have I put up with this for so long???!! If ever a book liberated me, this book did. It showed me that it takes two to tango. If I didn't like the way my mother acted, there wasn't much I could do to change her behavior. However, I COULD change the way I responded - I could refuse to "dance the dance." For any adult who feels intimated or bullied by a parent, this is the book to read. Highly recommended!
Parents of adults are themselves adults, and should act it........2002-07-09
Parents of adults are themselves adults - so making excuses for their obnoxious or hurtful behavior does not to me create an incentive for them to change it.
Understanding the causes for that behavior is good and compassionate. Yet there are times when, to preserve the "inner child" the author refers to, a parent will do something which is actually destructive to a child, such as being a toxic in-law or undermining their child's sense of self-worth.
Sometimes it's not about love - just control.
At this point you must draw a clear line. My compassion ends where another person's assault on my well-being begins. I advocate compassion and understanding in so far as they help an adult child begin to end the pattern of being a willing partner in an unhealthy codependent relationship.
Loving yourself means not giving people the permission to harm you or hold you back in life. Certainly not your parents, since that contradicts what their very role in your life was supposed to be.
For this reason, I believe parents should be held to a higher, not lower, standard of behavior in this regard.
People who claim to love you should not habitually cause you pain. That contradicts the meaning of love.
I posit also that attempting to create dependency in an adult by subtly trying to make that person feel incompetent and inadequate is a form of emotional abuse - and one of which not only parents are guilty, of course - friends, lovers, other family members may all have a stake in your inadequacy or dependency.
Such are false relationships. Someone whose love for you is real and unselfish rejoices in your competency, growth, happiness, and the fulfillment of your dreams. Or, is contrite when they realize they have not been doing so, and makes the effort to do better.
Simplified solutions.......2001-08-24
The book was very complete since it included mostly every parental abusive situation from moralistic parents to unavailable to self-centered and controlling. However, the solutions given for children to address the damage done to them is over-simplified and puts the responsibility of understanding back on to the child. Every chapter has an explanation of the type of behavor and goes on to indicate how it is the child in the parent who is really reponding to his/her child or adult child. To solve the hurt and enmeshment with the parent, the adult-child must now see the child in the parent when the dysfunctional behavior takes place and everything will be okay. Also, Halpern chooses a parent for each behavior. For example, the unavailable "father" and the controlling "father." Perhpas the domineering, controlling person is the "mother." This adjudication makes it harder to see since I must substitute one for the other throughout full chapters.
Learning to understand.......2001-02-25
This book has hits the nail on the head when explaining why a controling,manipulative,self destructive parent behaves in the manner that they do. It also attempts to explian why and how the child participates in this song and dance. It also gives good advice on how to break the cycle and move forward to a more productive parent/child relationship or the reasons when and why you should end the relationship. All this is clearly written and easy to follow. What I liked most was the compassion and point blank honesty that is directed at the parents part and the childs part. I AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR THAT THE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE PRESERVED YET NOT TO ALL COSTS.

Read carefully.......2007-03-08
This book was excellently packaged and shiped in great conditions. The only problem was that I didn't realize I had purchased the loose paper version of the text book. That was a mistake on my part so I had to return it.

Book Description
Lois Pryce was working at the BBC in London, firmly set on the career track. But unbeknownst to her coworkers, Lois was leading a parallel life as well, that of a biker babe with an overwhelming case of wanderlust, one that couldn’t be satisfied by a weekend holiday. Her days in a cubicle were numbered, and it wasn’t long before she was back on her bike and looking for adventure.
Armed only with the Spanish words for “caution” and “cheese,” Lois set off to conquer America---both Americas, actually. Starting in Alaska and working her way down the Pacific Coast, she rode through snow, desert, and everything in between to reach the southernmost tip of Argentina.
Lois tackled every type of fellow biker imaginable and endured everything the continents could throw at her with quick thinking and a vibrant sense of humor. Whether bribing her way through Central American borders, spending the night in a Mexican brothel, or crashing her bike in Patagonia, Lois’s bright, funny travelogue will charm anyone who longs for adventure and a stretch of the open road.
Customer Reviews:
Lois on the Loose.......2007-09-15
Lois certainly puts together a good story of her trip across the Americas. Her sense of humour shows through constantly even when faced with problems caused by "officialdom" She was prepared to undertake her "expedition" against advice that her bike was too small and would not "hack it". She has certainly proved that sometimes one should go with what suits you (and gut instinct) not always what experts advise. A book I would recommend to all my friends on two wheels.
What an Adventure .......2007-08-26
For me a good author is one who gets me so caught up that I don't notice anything but the story. Lois accomplished that completely. I think her trip was successful because she's obviously an upbeat person and tried to make the best of even the worst circumstances around her. She dealt humorously with people that would have had me reaching for a baseball bat. Keep writing Lois, it's your outlook on life that's so entertaining -- don't feel like you have to kayak alone around the world before starting your next book!
The USA was a blink on an eye..........2007-08-18
A really good book and an easy fun read for anyone who likes travel and/or mororcycles. I wish she'd written more about the US. It sounds like she just took the I'5 down to Mexico.
One of the best.......2007-07-10
My passion for long distance motorcycling is not entirely embraced by my "Pillion in a Million" but occasionally I had her a book and say she might enjoy it. She read this book from cover to cover in two sittings and pronounced it "A cracking read" and is waiting now for Lois's next book. For myself, having read many books by blokes, I really enjoyed the view of long distance travel from a female perspective, especially as it seems to be entirely her style, without any nods to the many previous writers who have written about this trip. A great book for those NOT of the motorcycling persuasion as well as those who are.
Give Us More!.......2007-06-13
This is a quick and easy read. Lois's amazing 20,000 mile motorcycle mega-transect from Alaska to Argentina is an entertaining and witty tale. The author has a good sense of humor and her descriptions of the people she meets and places she roars through are light, loose (pun intended) and a lot of fun. Not only that, her scathing portrayal of life in a cubicle for the vaunted BBC may be the best part of the book. What wankers her immediate supervisor and his boss were. Anyone familiar with the drudgery of modern office life can certainly relate.
I've long dreamed of navigating the Pan-American Highway but fear it may be too late, even in a 4WD vehicle. Lois's story relates just what a grueling and demanding trip that would be; definitely an undertaking for a youthful bum and spine. How she managed to do it on a high-pitched 250-cc trail bike made this reader shake his head in wonder. The border crossings of Central America alone were enough to dishearten even the most determined traveler.
As an American I was glad to see there wasn't any Yank-bashing, despite the fact that Pryce must have had plenty of ammunition. Whisking through southern California had to have been tempting fodder. A French woman who tags along for a portion of the trip is described as having "anti-American sentiments" and one bloke in South America, while berating an American biker for his lack of cooking skills says something along the lines of "No wonder the world hates you," albeit jokingly. That's about the extent of it and, all in all, we don't come out looking any worse than the other nationalities, including a maniacal Canadian cop who goes ballistic on her for riding without insurance.
An inkling of just what an undertaking this was is revealed toward the end of the book, in the far reaches of southern Argentina. A peasant woman with whom Pryce is staying looks blankly when told the trip had started in Alaska. When she's made aware that Pryce passed through Santiago, the woman says, "They have come all the way from Santiago! SANTIAGO, CHILE!" As isolated as this woman was, in deepest Patagonia, she could only absorb so much.
If I have a complaint about the book, it's that some sections are glossed over a bit too much. It left me wanting more detail. Having just spent a few days in the redwood country of northern California, I was disappointed at how Lois breezed through that and many other gorgeous sections of the West Coast. Maybe she saw so many beautiful places that it blended together after a while. Also, I've been to most of the countries she traverses and was looking forward to more vivid descriptions. I can imagine that a trip like this was exhausting. I'm sure it was a major chore to make notes at the end of every riding day.
Finally, I can't help mentioning that most readers will relish the karma-like comeuppance that befalls a particularly bitchy companion, Amalia. I will not reveal the end but greatly enjoyed how the story turned out. Diplomatically, Lois reserves judgement, at least in print.
I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast but still enjoyed this traveler's tale. I look forward to a follow-up after her recently completed journey through the length of Africa. More power to you, Lois! Where will you be on the loose next?

New edition.......2006-09-07
This is a new edition. Disregard the other reviews about the older, outdated edition.
An excellent book........2006-05-18
I was one of the few people in my medical school class that liked this book. I used it as a supplement to my class notes and pharmcards to study for pharmacology. I used it in addition to FirstAid to study for the boards. I found it to be excellent. I like the outline format. I found that it hit upon the pertain side effects and interactions, and I liked the organization. Mechanism of action descriptions were adequate for nearly all questions I was asked. Most in my class used the Lippicontt Illustrated Reviews Pharmacology book. But, they weren't #1 in their class for both Pharm I and Pharm II in medical school. I was. It is a good book. It is a little old now, and is certainly over-due for a new edition. I hope they come out with one. This book presents the facts concisely without a lot of fluff. Give it a shot. And, its cheaper.
Do not use (any more).......2005-12-22
This is a way outdated issue. I am surprised that thery haven't renewed it. It is from 1998, so the data in there are probably from 1996 or 1997. Some things are simply wrong today (such as the use as Phenytoin as major anti-arrhythmic drug). Try to get a current review, not one that is almost 7 years old. Additionally it is a hard read.
Good review of pharmacology.......2000-03-06
I used this text in my pharmacology course in phar. school. It was very helpful in understanding the broad picture. Although little is written in detail, Rosenfeld offers a good summary of such a complex topic.

Clean Cut.......2002-11-18
Very well written, easy to understand and a great format. I learned alot.
Very User-Friendly.......2000-02-17
Yes, the book has many additions to the text. I found them very useful and insightful, and they assisted in offering a connection between the text and the real world in most cases. I am taking correspondance courses, so this book is all I have, and I think it's great. The authors speak in a way that's easy to read and understand. I don't like reading much, but this book made it easy.
Too much junk.......1999-02-07
I love business, the class I have is fun, the teacher is funny as hell, but the book just stinks. However, there is a study guide that you can buy to go with the book, I strongly recommend that. Helped me study tremendously
Book Description
This is a compelling story of the experiences of three young women who attended the University of California at Berkeley and became caught up in the tumultuous changes of the Sixties. Sara Davidson follows the three--Susie, Tasha, and Sara herself--from their first meeting in 1962, through the events that "radicalized" them in unexpected ways in the decade after the years in Berkeley. Susie navigates through the Free Speech Movement and the early women's movement in Berkeley, and Tasha enters the trendy New York art and society scene. Sara, a journalist, travels the country reporting on the stories of the sixties.
The private lives that Davidson reconstructs are set against the public background of the time. Figures such as Timothy Leary, Mario Savio, Tom Hayden, and Joan Baez are here, as are the many young people who sought alternatives to "the establishment" through whatever means seemed worth exploring: radical politics, meditation, drugs, group sex, or dropping out. Davidson's honest and detailed chronicle reveals the hopes, confusion, and disillusionment of a generation whose rites of passage defined one of the most contentious decades of this century.
Customer Reviews:
Enjoyed it Even More the Second Time.......2001-09-10
Sara Davidson's "Loose Change" is a brilliantly-written account of the Sixties as experienced by three young women coming of age. I bought this book when it first came out in 1977 and loved it. Recently, I came across "Loose Change" in a used book store and just couldn't put it down.
The Sixties were a time of great social upheaval, and I remember many of the major events. I went though college in the late 60s and early 70s. Even though my background is somewhat different -- Blue collar, conservative, Catholic, male, short-haired, Pittsburgh, and definitely never inhaled -- it was interesting to see the female, radical point of view. Like many others in that period, Sara, Susie, and Tasha search for life's meaning in a turbulent time in which the old values they grew up with have withered away.
You are there in the historical events and movements of that period -- the Antiwar movement, major student protests at Berkeley and Columbia, the bloodbath at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention, the music of Woodstock, rural communes, free sex, and the terror of the Altamont Concert.
This book seems to get better over time because there is a greater contrast between today's world and the 1960s. The Antiwar, Womens' Liberation, and Civil Rights Movements changed the country and the world for the better, and drugs have changed things for the worst. And the sexual revolution.... well, you be the judge.
I like Ms. Davidson's rich writing style, as she places the reader right there, feeling and experiencing life with Sara, Susie, and Tasha, "warts and all." She's gutsy enough to talk about sexuality, a formerly taboo subject. Sara, Susie, and Tasha follow their sexual drives and suffer many bad love affairs, for which both the men and women share the blame.
I've also enjoyed a few of Sara Davidson's other articles and her biography of Rock Hudson. "Loose Change" is now historical, and it's so alive you can hear the music and the protest marches. This book is definitely worth five stars and I would recommend it to almost everyone, even my own daughter.
All the elements are here..........2000-09-22
It takes a lot to make a book excellent where all elements are concerned, but Sara Davidson has managed to accomplish that with Loose Change. The characters are very vivid, and easy to picture. What really made me enjoy this was that it was based on the actual lives of the three main characters. I thought that the sixties was covered here in great detail, with images that seemed to jump out at the reader from the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would love to read others that were similar to it. Highly reccommended!
Familiar if you are a baby boomer.......1999-09-10
When I first read this book some 10 years ago, I quickly identified with the characters, even though I am Jewish girl from NYC. Ten years later, I often think about the characters and wonder how they turned out. I ffound the book to be true to "us" and how "we" really felt as we went through the 60's, Vietnam, drugs and free love. You had to be there. The author captures the moment. Why not write a follow up to Loose Change? You could call it Dollar Bills.
At worst, irritating. At best, tedious........1999-07-15
I thought I was going to read thoughtful, personal accounts of the sixities as experienced/described by three thoughtful, incisive women. Unfortunately, what the author chronicles is how she and two other self-absorbed irritating women move from stupid, annoying man to stupid annoying man during the era of free love. Every so often, one of the women manages to witness a Pivotal Event (tm) of the '60's. When the women are not witnessing pivotal events, they are whining about stupid, annoying men.
This book pales in comparison to other, superior chronicles of the '60's such as Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem or White Album. Do not bother with Sara Davidson's tripe.
In 1978 it inspired me, in 1999 it was bittersweet........1999-07-10
I saw the miniseries on TV in 1978 in a college dorm with my girlfriends. It so inspired us, that as we tearfully said our good-byes at graduation, "Loose Change" became our anthem to describe what we expected as our futures unfolded. In 1999, I saw an article about Sara Davidson in People magazine, and I remembered how much the story had meant to me twenty years before--so it was time to get the book. The book jogged memories of the issues and choices I faced in the '70s, and also reminded me how much those '60s trailblazers did for their younger boomer-counterparts. I think it's time for the author to do a follow-up on these women today. In the meantime, I'm sending this book to my old college girlfriends.
