The Ego-Less SELF: Achieving Peace & Tranquility Beyond All Understanding

Roadmap for the disillusioned
I will read it again. There are a lot of deep principles and truth in this book. This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on the ego. It is one of those rare books where you don’t mind if it takes a week or two to read, because you know it will be hard to come across this type of experience again.I have always been fascinated about learning how to understand others and understanding humanity and it all seems to lead back into understanding ourself. This book addresses shame, worthiness, dualism, purpose, love and even collective consciousness.I felt it portrayed spiritualism in a way that is mystical but also felt true. Dogma and religion seems to suck the life out of me, but this book breathed new life into me.To sum up what I learned. My ego is a lie. It is my false self. I have listened to my ego for 20 years and have been a slave to my ego creating a lifestyle of success with a million dollar company only to learn I have done everything for the wrong reasons. I have been searching for worthiness and happiness in the wrong places. My ego has created a path that is unfulfilling. I want a different path now. I want to surrender my ego and the false self to allow room for the truth.A brief summary is: Love God, love ourselves and love others.... and enjoy the journey.

Love this book. Pure.
Great book on an important topic. Life gets easier on many levels when we learn to shed the ego and nobody does a better job of explaining it...except God himself.

The Ego-Less Self
I've long had a desire to explore the formation of the Ego and its influence on our personalities.I tried to get a handle on it on the Internet, but it was complicated by what I would call "psycho-speak" and information overload. This book takes us from the formation of the Ego, how & why, through its influence & desire to control,giving us an understanding which takes the mystique out of the subject. The author,although highly qualified, has the gift of explaining the issues clearly in terms that make sense to the interested layman.I found this book to be a genuine help in the quest for a happy & balanced life.

Its an okay book. It wasn't spiritually vibrant, for me it seemed like the material was more inclined towards being derived from the intellect. Probably I came to this conclusion because of 2 influential books that came to me as spiritually inspired and inspiring, Unmasking the Ego by Kim Michaels (5 stars) and Dissolving the Ego by Dr. David Hawkins (5 stars). When comparing these other two mentioned books, this book was not as 'hot'. Then again, maybe I have to read it a few more times, but I did not get the same magnetic pull and vibrancy as drawn form the two other mentioned books.

The value of the Ego
Great book!!!! - I enjoyed the references made to the bible. However, this book is not confined to Christian tenets. It is spiritually written. This makes it a good source of learning wealth for any one affiliated with any religious denomination and or lack of one. The author uses a very practical and easy approach - Brilliantly written in its simplicity. It looks at the power and hidden treasures of the ego as well as presents an easy approach to identify, understand and purge the ego's energy and power in order to get closer to the self. A most have book along your earthly journey.........at least this time around.Currently reading "Healing an Angry heart" by the same author.

Favorite quote: "I must be in action in this life, yet I surrender the results to God."
The Ego-Less Self is extremely helpful. Dr. Nuckols breaks down complex psychological concepts into reader-friendly language. This method of writing allowed me to use these basic building blocks to identify blocks to my healing. This book is packed with easy to understand, useful information; inspires a search for healing and growth.Laura Jeanne Happiness Is Possible!: Ten Simple Concepts to Transform Your Life

Incredible book!!
Incredible book!! Such specific and detailed insight, explaining and wisdom. Author's writing is amazing! I have read hundreds of self-help/personal/spiritual growth books. This one is by far the most thoroughly explained, in simple terms and actually practical! In the beginning of book, author shares in detail his personal spiritual awakening experience and I am truly grateful for the depth of understanding this gave me!
