Book Description
"There is never anything to change but our own perspective." Karen Casey Thirty years ago best-selling author Karen Casey (Each Day a New Beginning) wandered into a support group and learned there was only one thing she could change--herself! She found a group of people who had adopted this concept--and she joined them. The result? Change so profound Casey has dedicated much of her life to teaching others about it. Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow offers a dozen simple principles to live by. Each principle makes up a chapter. Each chapter includes meditation-style essays to help readers access peaceful, life-changing responses to just about any situation. It really is as simple as changing our minds. This little book will show you how.

 Unsure ( summy777 )
Some of the points in this book were good. I didn't mind the references to God or the 12 step program. What did bug me was that the author went on and on about keeping your nose out of other peoples business, even if its a friend who needs you.

 Small book with huge life lessons ( jwages@frontier.net )
This book was given to me last Christmas and in 2007 I've given it to all my friends and all have in turn given to people in their lives. It has such a simple message of acceptance for oneself and that in turn allows tolerance of others. Everyone should have this book!

Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow: 12 Simple Priciples
I originally bought this book for a friend who needed to take a new approach to her marriage. I found it so compelling as I breezed through the pages before wrapping it, that I kept it to read first! It's a lot like "The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People" in that it gives you simple (actionable) ways to find peaceful solutions to every kind of problem.

The 12 simple Principles work
I like self help books but they often are too complex for my liking. This one is great! It is in plain simple english.
I fully recommend it to anyone who wants to live a more peaceful life.

Helpful perhaps to religious people ( truthteller )
Karen Casey has overcome some adversities in her life and she claims these are the 12 principles she has disccovered or, as she freely admits, rediscovered.
The problem I have with the book is that it is, in many ways, a non-denominational religious tract. While I don't hold religious people in disdain, I myself am not religious. Thus the endless references to literally putting yourself in the hands of a "Higher Power" and allowing your life to be guided by said power don't do anything for me. Her core advice is sufficient: the invitation to simply "have faith" I think will actually harm some people who will come to believe that they merely need to believe that they will somehow be guided to make the right decisions, rather than invest the will and energy to change their own lives.
I think Karen Casey does well at putting her message forth and that many people, especially those with religious beliefs, will find comfort, solace and encouragement in her words, even if I do not.
