"As a young man, Nirav had been a member of est, Werner Erhard's personal transformation seminars, later known as the Forum, or Landmark Education. On June 7, 1973, at the age of twenty-one, he attained enlightenment. "But I don't make a big deal out of that," he writes in an online bio. "It was and is a very 'so what' phenomenon." Since that time, he's divided his time between a tree house in Maui and this beach hut in Koh Phangan. He writes books about growing durians, organic gardening and other subjects, including a project on one-word affirmations called Switchwords." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"An underlying message in the ads was that the medicine would bring about a sort of personal transformation. Those who swallowed the pills would enjoy the good life. They would be more lovable. They would be envied by their neighbors. These tacit promises made by the drug ads were not unlike those made by the promoters of any other consumer product. "The purpose of publicity is to make the spectator marginally dissatisfied with his present way of life." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In this framework, suffering can be an opportunity for personal transformation in the face of a natural process rather than an inexorable struggle against a villainous adversary. I am actively trying to integrate this concept into the stories of my patients. AD leads to a loss of self -> Brain aging creates a change in self We owe it to those who have aging brains not to reduce their humanity to one organ. All of us constantly change across our life span, and the late stages of brain aging are part of that continuum." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Once we abandon the old myths we have inherited that depict old age as a descent into an abyss of hopelessness, frailty, and mental lethargy, we can begin to view aging as a dynamic process of personal transformation in a new life stage. Some neurosis will likely always surround our mortality. We can either choose to let this neurosis terrify us or put it to work for us and let it motivate us to: •Treat our loved ones better ?Reaffirm our relationships with those who give our lives meaning ?Take better care of our bodies and minds ?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Once that need is gone, you will finally understand that transformation comes only from within; that it is through nutrition, lifestyle, changes in belief systems, changes in mental energy, changes in the language you use and powerful daily habits that result in your personal transformation of appearance. That, of course, makes the whole message that appearance is everything completely obsolete. You will be absolutely immune to it." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"He is the host of a weekly radio program called "Inside Wealth," aired in the San Francisco Bay area, addressing issues of wealth creation and personal transformation.

After twenty years of being in the game, I was achieving my professional goals." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"Such affirmations help with the process of personal transformation and the clearing of negative thinking that blocks goodwill from coming our way. Each of us has a person of unlimited potential and joy hidden inside. We just have to let it out. Clearing negative energies, washing those chakras clean of negative messages and memories is a life liberating experience. A little unconditional love goes a long way! Global Implications The gift of unconditional self-love we give ourselves is the same medicine we need for healing the world, it's just on a smaller scale." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"To be a fisher of men, on the other hand, is to undergo a personal transformation. That is the Christian vision of renewal—not the socialist. A renewal that calls for changing the way we are, first. A renewal that transcends the public spectacle. There was a hymn we used to sing at school: And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, And one was slain by a fierce wild beast.... They were all of them saints of God; And I mean, God helping, to be one too. But life is not school. In real life you never know when the tests will come or what form they will take." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Stretching Reality The matrix is the frame on which the canvas of reality is stretched, allowing us to move beyond healing and into personal transformation. It is, in fact, a way to reconstruct our reality. Such freedom, so many creative ideas! Hogwarts School of Magic for adults! Unified Field Theory I don't need to know anything. All of my past education and paradigms need to be restructured to make use of this experience. Realizing that, I create every facet of my reality through the medium of intention and choice." - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)

"No transformation happens overnight. personal transformation, especially in the area of health, takes time, and it certainly takes effort. Be skeptical of any product or service that claims to transform you into something you are not without any real expenditure of effort on your part. Also, check in with yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror once a week, and truly check in and ask yourself where you are now, how you're doing and where you want to be in the following week. Defense against false flattery The next mind hack is false flattery." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"What does personal transformation mean to you? Deepak Chopra: I am glad you asked the question like you did, referring to the structure of consciousness. Like many people of my generation, I was exposed to Vedanta in India during my growing up years. We were brought up with a vocabulary that laid out a map for the transformation of consciousness. In that sense, what I say in this interview is not original at all. When you study physics, you've got to learn the vocabulary that physicists use. The same is true if you want to understand the structure of Deepak Chopra, M.D." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)

"We must each learn what calls us to such potential for greatness and good, and to such potential for self-destructiveness. personal transformation is more than a work about individual happiness or individual enlightenment. It is Richard Moss, M.D., received a Doctorate of Medicine in 1972 from New York Medical College. After a few years of general practice, he realized that he was called to serve life in another way. His work has been of value to countless individuals in many arenas of life and also has inspired changes of consciousness in healthcare, business and teaching organizations." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)

Crucial to this, I feel, is the birth of a new kind of community of exploration, a new quality of association of sincere individuals. Both Eastern mysticism and Western (or modern) science have the power to lead us to a vision of oneness, of the inter-connected wholeness of ourselves and all things, and we need this." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)
