Code to Joy: The Four-Step Solution to Unlocking Your Natural State of Happiness Paperback – March 5, 2013

I don't tend to write reviews of books, but I feel compelled to write one for this book.I had the opportunity to watch a video with one of the authors some months prior to purchasing, it really wasn't anything special, but he (George) had an air about him and I have realised through the years that one can not pretend confidence, and he had it. I have had my series of books of this nature and most are well and fine and I've incorporated good techniques and so forth, but none ever hit the heart of me, if you will.What did it for me in this book was the list of 'core issues', prior to even going through the list I heard my subconscious offer up mine and then I looked at the list and was so amazed at the feelings arising that I had to put the book down. Sometimes you are ready to hear what someone has to say and this was the case for me.Just simply understanding this core issue, applying it to many of the areas of my life has given me permission to see what was needed (by my deeper self, if you will), and is giving me a sense to be decisive in what I yet need and what actually brings me joy.This is not a small thing, I must say. In all the years I have been through counseling (re-contextualization as I like to put it), or receiving various healing sessions (more than most), none have done what this book has, and for that I am deeply grateful.My recommendation would be to start at the book slowly, and really get each chapter prior to moving on to the next. There is no magic bullet, and for me, I needed to walk through a bit of what is not joyous prior to setting my mind on what is, if that makes sense.I will continue to utilize the information in the book and would heartily recommend it to anyone who has the desire for a more joyous life.

I will remember Sunday 15 Mar 2015 for the rest of my life. It was the day that I went through the 4-step process in the Code to Joy, and uncovered a shameful and humiliating event that happened 28 years ago and has caused me challenges since. I have achieved a level of success, but it has taken a lot more effort than it needed to. After I did the 4-Step process, that is clearly articulated in the book, I describe the shift as feeling like 'the world bent itself around me'. A fear I have had for years, was suddenly gone. Which has taken the ceiling limitations off my business, and has me excited beyond imagining.Now I am no stranger to this work. I am a coach, author, NLP practitioner, hypnotherapist, reiki master, fitness trainer and have read about 500 books on all things personal development. I also have familiarity with the techniques in the book. The real magic with this book is the very clear to do and follow process. So the magic is not in just 'reading' the book (which is a great read by the way); the magic happens when you put into 'action' the steps in the book. The possibility is profound.So I have started recommended this book to my clients, my coaches, my followers and anyone else who is willing to do the work on themselves. This book is a fantastic guide and the work these guys have accumulated and articulated is outstanding.I foresee my investment in this book and the time to do the process to be at least a 10,000% return on investment!

Have been doing EFT for many years, and have read many books on various energy psychology techniques - would say that this one is now what I would recommend to people to use: clearing the negatives -and- instilling the positives. And as with EFT, one learns a lot about oneself by moving through the process multiple times, because more comes up into play as you clear that one bit away... Excellent to do with somebody guiding you -or- on your own.

I am really impressed with this book. Yes, there are a lot of stories. I did not find them self-serving but extremely helpful. I read them all.I have learned all the tools of the 4 step process and taken notes so that I can do them 3 times a day.In the last few years, although my own life has been pretty smooth and pleasant, I have been plagued with fear for the future of the Earth we live on. This was hiding my joy behind the fog they describe. I used to say that anyone who thinks the world is doing ok right now is an ostrich! Now I can see the value in becoming more ostrich-like, because we attract what we are thinking. I prefer to think now of the positive things that are happening all over the world, people waking up and taking action.I am grateful to have found the book and the processes are so easy. I've done a zillion other things and they were harder and I didn't keep up with them.

I started the exercise before the investigation process and felt an immediate lift. In 2 days I read this entire book and started the investigation and began practice immediately to address individual beliefs. The practices are simple and easy to follow. I can lament if only this information was available 40 years ago my life may have been different. But, it's different now and for that I am grateful.

What a joy to now know my personal code to finding more of it! Both the case histories and the info about WHY the steps and order of them in their process work, made this a very convincing read. I already feel a sense of lightness and hope around clearing away some foggy bottoms in my life. On my way to more joy! I read the ebook version and now want a hard copy that I can write all over, bend down corners and fill with stickies!

After all the work I did, and still do, on myself to grow and improve, this book gave me the tools in just 4 steps to identify, clear, repattern, and maybe the most important one, anchor my new beliefs. Change is already happening in fast pace. The book is also a joy to read. Highly recommended.

Sure its okay but I totally forgot that I read it until this came up. So I guess no. Did not make a major difference.

A great read would recommend to everyone! I truly begun to feel uplifted minutes after completing the process. Can’t wait to live to my full potential.

This is an excellent book. It shows you, through aspects of your life, how events have influenced you, your feelings and your core beliefs about yourself. The book goes on to say how you can remove unwanted effects from these events and allow youself to develop your life the way you want to.

An modern way to work on finding yourself and getting rid of stabortaging old beliefs. The research alone is fascinating.

Life changer, a real suprise. Easy to comprehend and practical. Brings a lot of concepts to life. Thank you so much.

Totalling amazing, I can't wait to read the next page. Written in terms I can understand. Thank you George Pratt for writing this book, everyone should read this.

ok

This book is a must read for everyone. It has the capacity to improve your life beyond your wildest dreams

Easy to follow with compelling examples of successful cases. I've been using energy psychology methods to let go of negative emotions for around two years and these guys have been my guide. I can't recommend this book too highly.
