This insightful book
translates timeless truths, exposing the unworkable
beliefs that we often hold. And Ms. Alexander’s
provocative and rich chapter titles are well worth the
price of admission.”
James Wanless, Ph.D.,
author of Intuition @ Work, and Voyager Tarot
“The fifty-two chapters comprising Chandra Alexander's
Reality Works: Let It Happen provide brief but explicit
lessons on how to live with a grounding sense of wonder.
Suited to being the foundation of a weekly study
throughout the year, the issues covered range from
loneliness, relationships, and learning to leave things
along, to paying attention, and living a richer, more
authentic life regardless of circumstance or background.
Very highly recommended for self-help, self-improvement
reading lists and reference collections, Reality Works:
Let It Happen is witty, inspiring, motivating,
thoughtful, occasionally challenging, and thoroughly
reader friendly.”

“This is a book for people who want clear, gem-like
insights into the art of personal transformation. I
enjoyed the concise writing style and the direct appeal
to the reader's innate sense of wholeness. The author
speaks to the psychological as well as the spiritual
aspects of wholeness and the need to approach life with
attention to the mulit-leveled nature of every
individual. It is one of those books that you can open
anywhere and find something that brings wisdom to your
present situation.”

"I have to confess to being a bit of a self-help (books,
tapes, systems, seminars, etc.) junkie. Over the years,
this trait has (hopefully) given me some perspective on
the genre and some ability to separate the same tired
old cliches from the fresh and original. Reality Works
falls soundly in the latter category. At a compact 119
pages, every page is packed with sharp insights
expressed in a clear and concise manner. I would
especially recommend this book to anyone in the middle
of, or on the verge of a significant life transformation
(e.g. changing careers, starting/ending a relationship,
relocating...). Chandra Alexander is a strong advocate
of listening to your inner voice and having the courage
to follow it, especially at times when you may be
tempted to remain in a comfortable rut rather than
venture into uncharted regions. Of course, in an
important sense every day is a kind of transformation,
so the advice given here is always relevant. The title
of one chapter is a good example of the book's wisdom --
"The space between the old way not working and the new
way not yet found is where consciousness expands --stay
in the gap!" (yes, all this is really the chapter
title). In other words, don't be afraid of being in a
place where you aren't certain of everything. Reality
Works is filled with such gems. I've read it once and am
already looking forward to going through it again."

"'If You're Bored With Your Story It's Time To Change'.
The title of this review is the first chapter of a
reading adventure. An adventure that can inspire you to
live with greater clarity and aliveness. I buy a lot of
books. I read a bit here and a bit there in each book. I
see another book that looks great...the cycle repeats
itself. I'm looking for something. I want to read them
all. I'm too busy. I picked up this book, began to read
and didn't stop until I reached the end. I couldn't
believe I read the whole book in one sitting, even
though it has 52 delicious bite-size portions. I
continue to use it as an oracle. It's filled with
metaphors that reveal new meaning with each new
attention. Reality Works doesn't give a prescription. It
somehow serves as a catalyst to call forth the
experience that I'm looking for in all books. Buy it and
read it!"
