This book is not an academic account of Chinese beliefs; but rather a light-hearted representation of some of the fantasies and superstitions in which these beliefs are shrouded. It is hoped that readers will enjoy the interesting text and humorous illustrations.

Using the book's index; I was able to zero in on the areas the resonated with my core. Focusing on those chapters; the book helped me pin-point the very things I'd been unable to conciously identify and verbalize on my own. It also armed me with new tools to erradicate the error-thinking that had been causing me to get in my own way; to block my own progress. With those blocks removed; I'm happily moving toward the realization of goals.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Compelling Explanation of What Influences Success or Failure in LifeBy Patricia A. ToneyWhy Am I Stuck? offers a vivid and compelling explanation of how our beliefs; thoughts and feelings determine whether we will succeed or fail in whatever we choose to pursue. The author; Ehryck Gillmore illustrates with compassion and intensity how being "stuck" is the resistance; pain; disappointment and paralysis we experience when we "subconsciously" hold hidden assumptions that alter our perceptions; behavior and achievements.With visually and emotionally stimulating imagery Mr. Gillmore shares amazing stories that are so enlightening and empowering that you will begin to pursue goals you may have otherwise considered improbable; if not impossible. Understanding what beliefs hinder positive outcomes will help you challenge ingrained assumptions that limit your capabilities and prevent progress. You only become "unstuck" when your thoughts; beliefs and feelings are driven by your conviction; passion and confidence that whatever you desire will unequivocally be yours for the asking.Why Am I Stuck? offers a simple but yet powerful approach to identifying specific thoughts; beliefs and feelings that will either destine you for success or guarantee you will experience failure. If you have ever felt that a goal was not possible; or that you are not capable of attaining it; or simply felt deep within that you did not deserve it....this book is for you. This poignant self-help novel explores the reasons for failure and imperfections in intimate relationships; family; friendships; and careers and raises your level of consciousness by exploring the realm of what is possible.
