Remembering Wholeness: A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21st Century Paperback – May 1, 2003

I can't say enough good to do it justice. This book Is the most influential, powerful, thought provoking and restorative book I have ever read beyond the scriptures. For me it was the most liberating ahah that I have ever come across. I have lived a life of abduction, trauma, abuse, and suffered from PTSD due to certain experiences I fell into, and after escaping, decided to study psychology and become a therapist as my lifelong experiences drove me to learn and understand people and their motives for either good or evil towards others. I also studied the law of attraction and have been very drawn to positive psychology. I realize that there are going to be people who have a hard time with a few concepts, who have not had my experiences or learned some things I have already been privileged to find out and read and discover. Many will have a hard time with the idea of manifesting what you think about, or choosing the trials and problems that would happen in ones life. As a religious person, and also LDS I have understood the scriptures and revelations that we came to earth with a plan that both our father in heaven provided for us in order to progress and that we also chose to experience and accept. We came to earth to discover for ourselves our own faith and tenacity to overcome the lowest points so we can uncover the highest potential, creative children of God with the opportunity to become literally as he is. We couldn't have done it without each other, the good or the bad. And how else could so many things have been prophesied if they were not already scripted out and written in advance? The good and the bad? All those near death experience stories I've read and Prophetic discourses and scriptural forshadows all combine in a complete tapestry for me. It has made so much sense that I can suddenly understand and be completely free to forgive everyone who ever hurt me and realize that some of us chose to play a role, and some of us chose to just come and experience but not receive higher potentials. But it's all okay. Faith and agency is what it is all about. No more do people need to remain in a victim mentality, but the complete opposite. Suddenly I am free to be rid of vengeance, anger, grudges, and resentment. I realize that I have the potential of creating anything I want to have or become as long as it benefits others and God's plan for me. I now know my purpose in life and understand many questions I had about myself and the things I was meant to do or drawn to help people with. This book is the bridge that takes my faith and my understanding of the law of attraction and combines them so it all makes sense and I can never look at life the same way again. I am eternally indebted to Carol for enlightening me and giving me my final piece of the puzzle and peace of mind.

Arguments against this book are well written, but are akin to saying that modern medicine and any kind of psychotherapeutic work to heal is not in harmony with God's plan because doctors and psychiatrists make money from their labors, attempt to take the place of being healed by God, and what is written in their textbooks is not specifically duplicated in the scriptures. There would be no LDS bookstores if this were the case. To all those who have spoken so strongly against these writings: We are encouraged to judge everything in this world by this one doctrine - that which is of God invites and entices to do good continually, so then, everything that invites and entices to do good, and to love God, and to serve Him, is inspired of God. This is the doctrine I personally keep in mind with EVERYTHING that I read. For me, this book fit the bill. I read this book as a person who desires to serve God. Carol's perspective helped me, personally, to deep down, actually have faith and trust in myself - that I was not beyond the love and help of my Father in Heaven, the opposite being a stumbling block I had deeply internalized. Sometimes people get stuck - Sometimes people suffer abuse at the hands of someone wrongly wielding religion as an emotional combat weapon to justify themselves and their fearful, unfaithful desire to control unrighteously. So much collective hurt and abuse has been done in the name our Lord. It messes with your ability to trust that you are worthy of the love of our Heavenly Father and the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, even if you logically think you can be, sometimes this child-like faith is damaged when one is a child. "Remembering Wholeness" is full of clearing thoughts and tools to help people like me get "unstuck". It is merely a tool. How you wield it is up to you. It was not intended to be a replacement for the Scriptures, the Priesthood, the Holy Ghost or anyone's religion, even if people make the mistake and do so.I highly recommend this book for those who are seeking good books to learn from and who may feel "stuck" emotionally in a place they no longer wish to be. The author often refers to her own religious background with zero judgment against the uplifting beliefs of others. It is refreshingly concise.

This book is for those who do need some inspiration from elsewhere. In a world of increasing pressure for success, causing stress and anxiety, sadness and loss, and disappointment from all directions many of us need support from a higher level. One has to be tuned in to the fact that there are higher means of help. Carol Tuttle is an extremely logical, honest and thoughtful woman who has written this 'handbook' well worth reading. It does what she says, it supports us with words of goodness, positivity, and encouragement. I am three quarters the way through this book and finding it extremely positive stuff which has been very useful and i shall keep it as what is says it is ' a handbook'.The book has been written with feeling, which has proved to be thoroughly helpful. I have used some of her methods from the book so far and my goodness things are certainly brightening up for me already.I now know how not to be afraid, and I will be able to conquer health problems and personal anxieties with Carol Tuttle's wonderful book. I highly recommend Remembering Wholeness.

The book has many pages that are underlined, ringed etc, so this is why the star rating is so low, happy with the content of the book.

This book is one of the best things I've ever bought, it is now treasured, because that's what it is, TREASURE, and it now sits by my bed. I couldn't put it down when I started reading it and I constantly refer back to it, and will continue to do so, even when it becomes dog-eared! Thank you for writing it and a special thank you for sharing all the practical points, Carol.
