Instant gratification junkies seeking self-awareness are bound to find the title of Ariel and Shya Kane's book extremely attractive. And seductive it is: who wouldn't like to discover enlightenment in a moment? The key, explain the Kanes, is getting to the moment: being fully present in the here and now without trying to manipulate or change what you see. According to the Kanes, "all problems are a projection towards the future of possible realities based on the past." Consequently, inhibitors to living life directly include the inability to let go of one's history--to forgive people and events from the past--as well as resistance to the circumstances of one's life, and repetitive, mechanical thoughts and behaviors. The essence of transformation is "a non-judgmental witnessing, viewing, or seeing of yourself and how you interact with your life," which stands in direct opposition to therapy's approach of working on one's history to bring about change. Here, awareness of a prejudice or pattern of behavior is--simply and immediately--enough to transform it. Principles of awareness, self-realization, and enlightenment, of course, are nothing new, and the Kanes are careful to point this out. Some readers may wonder, then, why the Kanes refer to themselves as pioneers of a "revolutionary new technology," and whether Instantaneous Transformation(R) really requires a trademark. Nevertheless, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work is warm, anecdotal, and conversationally written, and includes general suggestions and pointers for the reader rather than rules to memorize. All in all, it is a gentle and potentially powerful invitation to enter a new and liberating state of mind. --Svenja Soldovieri
Product Description
The acclaimed, life-changing book that shows you how to stop �working� on yourself--and start living in the moment . . Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to go through your life without stress or self-doubt? To have a real sense of inner peace and fulfillment? Now you can--through the three simple principles in this book. Just as they do in their world-renowned workshops, Ariel and Shya Kane teach a refreshingly natural approach to living that is easy to do yet dramatically transformative. The three simple ideas that form the foundation of their approach are: . . - What you resist persists and grows stronger..
- You can only be exactly as you are in the moment..
- Anything you allow to be exactly as it is completes itself.
. . Once you grasp these three straightforward but enlightened concepts, you can stop �working� on yourself and start living the life you've always wanted--free from your old perceptions, and open to world of possibilities for discovering the ins and outs of who you are. . . �Working on Yourself Doesn't Work has much to offer to anyone who wants a more meaningful and spiritual life.�
. --New York Spirit magazine . This may be the most profound and life-transforming book you'll ever read. If you want a life filled with excellence, well-being, and happiness, read this book now!"

I laughed out loud the first time I saw the title of this amazing book. As a person who had been working on herself for 30+ years, I knew there was truth within the pages of this book, just by reading the title. Ariel & Shya Kane's 3 simple ideas have truly transformed my life. What a relief! I have found satisfaction in who I am. My life is excellent. It's amazing how easy the lifestyle of living in the moment truly is. I have found well-being by reading this book.
If you're ready to see just how easy enlightenment really is, I highly suggest reading "Working On Yourself Doesn't Work, 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life". Next you should check out Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. This is another book by the Kanes that will transport your life into the moment. Their #1 internet radio show called "Being Here" on The 7th Wave Network channel on Voice America.com is another fun avenue to discover the magic of the moment. Check it out!

I love this book, inspiring and beautiful, it's also easy and practical to use in my day to day life. Before I read this book and started working with the Kanes I spend most of my time worrying about the future, thinking about how I did things wrong and trying to hold things together. Working on Yourself Doesn't Work showed me a complete new possibility. With the help of the Kanes' three simple ideas, their amazing clarity, humor and empathy the loud chatter in my head calmed down. Worries, fear and guilt dissolved and life became peaceful and fulfilling.
I never thought it would be an alternitve, but a magical life truly is a possibility, it lives in the moment, beautiful and simple.
If you're looking for more magic in your life or simply feel there must be more...read this book!

This book is beautiful, insightful and amazing. So simple, so practical. It really helped me to stop judging and criticizing myself and start living the life I want to live. With their three principles of Instantaneous Transformation Ariel & Shya Kane gently and brilliantly took me through the process from living the painful life I used to live, to living a life full of enthusiasm and joy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who finds that they spend too much of their life living in their thoughts, and would like to spend more of their life living through their hearts...

I remember when I first read this book I was struck by how peaceful it made me feel. I can't access that peace all the time and so I'm learning to be ok with that. The book may appear quite simple compared to the intensive work that others might give you. I'm a huge fan of Martha Beck, Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle--but what the Kanes have created here is a way to access your life as the "work" for you to do. Just live it and keep in mind the principles of how life unfolds: what you resist persists (watch and you'll see how it appears in your life), no two things can occupy the same place at the same time (so why waste a moment with complaint?), and anything you allow to be exactly as it is will complete itself (try it, the moment can't last forever so let it be what it wants to be--or else it persists).
I'm grateful for having found this book and the Kanes. Truly magical.
