I have read some books on natural and self-healing methods, but I have never come across a style such as the one Dominique Bourlet proposes in his book titled Happy Healing. There are two reasons I do not take it lightly. One is because of the years of experience the author has in this field, and two, the real-life examples he used as witnesses to the success of this process.

In the book, the author writes eight natural steps towards healing your pain. The first involves identifying the BOP, Body-In-Pain. The second step is giving it an identity to personalize the pain. He says to give it a name, hair color, eye color, and so forth. Step three is adjusting your attitude towards the pain. Communicating compassion, gratitude, humility, joy, love, and peacefulness towards the pain makes the process less combative, and in turn the BOP reveals what its problem is.

The author started his craft from horse-whispering. He then moved to Asia, where he learned Acupressure and Ayurveda. Later, he moved to Germany, where he set up his practice.

Even if I was skeptical of the process, the author gets points for inventing a successful technique. Especially one that is as ridiculously simple as it is unique. If someone told you the cure to your pain was your attitude, you wouldn't believe them. But that is exactly what Bourlet is saying. If you can have a happier disposition about the pain, you are already halfway there. I have to say, with the number of people he has recorded positive results from, I am hard-pressed to believe in it too. This was the one thing that made me like the book so much.

Beyond that, there was the author's conversational style of writing, which gave the reader a personal touch. It felt as though he was speaking directly to me, which was an added bonus. I also loved that he included illustrations, including charts, to help break down his points, or to further clarify them.

Because of all the reasons above, I award the book 4 out of 4 stars. I found no errors, which was a pleasant surprise since he published the book himself.

I recommend this book to fans of alternate healing processes outside the traditional, western methods. My advice would be to use both alongside one another. So you have a back-up plan to fall back on, but since this method relies on faith and positive-thinking, I am not so sure it would be very helpful as a Plan B.
