The Intimate Enemy: Winning the War Within Yourself March 9, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Self-development expert Guy Finley and psychologist Ellen Dickstein teamed up to write The Intimate Enemy: Winning the War Within Yourself. Their book is intended for people who are tired of struggling and wish to sign a peace treaty with life.pFinley and Dickstein explain that we each have, and operate from, a false nature that is a jumble of our memories, conditioning, and some tempermental qualities. That false self responds to everything that happens to us, and its response is usually negative or defensive. We then find ourselves caught up in the same kinds of situations again and again, and nothing ever seems to be resolved in a new way.pThey call the false self an intimate enemy and say that we are our own worst enemies when it comes to finding true happiness.pTheir book devoted to learning how to recognize the intimate enemy and discover how to rise above our own present psychology.pOur false selves blame events outside ourselves for our unhappiness or see neutral events as threats, with the result that we are contantly battling to control external circumstances. Only when we become aware of the True Self within do we learn we are a part of a world of truth and light where all battles are non-existent.pThe authors use short stories and examples to show how people misunderstand the world around them. They explain how to become aware of the fallacies the false self continually attempts to foist off as truth, and how to determine what is real and what is deceit. They say that understanding that we are a multiplicity of selves is critical to recognizing, and ultimately defeating, the intimate enemy. pThey emphasize self-study as the primary way of overcoming the false self. Self-study involves rousing ourselves from psychic slumber and becoming aware of our thoughts and internal actions. They offer specific tips for achieving greater self-awareness.pThe Intimate Enemy is for anyone who wants more from life than a daily battle against unseen enemies.

It is very hard to focus on the now but when I have accomplished it strange things have happened. Once I saw a blue meteor go across the sky and another time I noticed a tiny bird perched on a tree limb staring at me it was a perfectly gorgeous little bird ordinarily I neverr would have seen it.

The Truth shall set you free. October 22, 1999
After studying the principles Guy, Ellen and others have shown me for a few years, there is a joy that wells up inside me on a regular basis. The Truth shall set you free, and this particular effort by these two individuals left me with new insights that struck chords deep within me that recognized them as the Truth each time I turned the page. They explain why our outer and inner worlds are filled with so much proverbial darkness and outlines ways individuals can help to move them toward the Light mostly within themselves.

A life-changing book! February 10, 1999
15 out of 15 found this review helpful

The Intimate Enemy is a self-help book and more. For those who have been searching for real help in understanding themselves and their lives, this book is what you've been looking for. Written in an easy to understand, step-be-step fashion, you will learn how to detach yourself from what has been preventing you from realizing your potential as a human being. I have read all of Finley's books and have been working with his concepts and exercises for several years. There is no question that applying the principles found in this book can change one's life for the better!

A Most Aweome Book November 9, 1998
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This book is tremendous, it is filled with such practical insight. There are many books out their on the self-help shelves, but this work is not in the same category. Unlike all those other books which only seem to keep you running around like a dog chasing it's tail, this book not only tells you, but shows you how you can be free of any fear or limitation. In fact The Intimate Enemy shows you the only thing that has been holding you back has no more substance than a shadow. Sound unbelievable? IT IS! Don't believe me, test REALITY AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. I also recomend The Lost Secrets of Prayer (by Guy Finley). I have met Guy Finley in person and I can honestly say he is as Genuine as his books. Enjoy! Cousin Vinnie NY
