Defy Gravity by Caroline Myss Book Review – The Paulymath Show Episode #11

Written by Paul Piotrowski - Thursday, March 24th, 2011

In this episode of The Paulymath Show I review a book called Defy Gravity by Caroline Myss.

The book was sent to me late last year for review by Hay House but I didn’t really get far enough into the book until recently to do a review.

This is one of those books that I couldn’t just pick up and speed-read through in a couple of days. It’s one of those books that I read a few chapters of, then put it down to let the information sink in, and then come back to it a few weeks or even months later to continue.

Here’s the video review:

Has anyone else read this book?

What did you think of it?

Hi Paul,

I have a copy of that book on audio CD. I found I like books like that one in an audio format because I listen to 10-15 minutes at a time while driving on errands and can digest the book in small nuggets, much the same as reading 5-6 pages at a time.

Caroline Myss comes across as a pretty cut and dry person and definitely does not mince words. I found the tone of the book almost a bit harsh at first, but what she has to say makes so much sense, it can be hard to argue with it, much as my ego may try at times!

  I know what you mean. She does not sugar coat things, nor does she “fluff” things up. It’s not a very “light” book but some of the concepts within it are not anything I’ve read before. It takes a while for the Ego to absorb and accept what she says before moving onto the next chapter.

A beautiful album “Stop making Sense’ by the Talking Heads. The title seems to say it all, as well.

Right. You don’t need to know the details of how/precisely why the doctor does what he does, but if you’re sick you’d better go pay him a visit… I’ve had a few people recommend Carolyn Myss. The part between my chin and the top of my head has led me astray more times than I care to count. I feel that if you open your heart (I hate to say “mind”) to the possibilities…and if they won’t kill you…then it’s worth a shot. Sometimes the best (more wonderful than you thought) solution is just a willingness to try the unusual or to listen more to intuition than your thinking mind.

Now that’s very interesting. I just wrote in my last article that it is my personal mantra that it doesn’t matter how something works. The only thing that matters to me is that it *does* work. Even if things look really weird and “out there” – if they bring results, then it’s good.

I’ve seen her speak live at a “you can do it” conference and I was very impressed. She’s extremely educated and like you said it takes a while to absorb her teachings.
