If you leaf through Lauren Tratar's book Life: A Complete Operating Manual you may find yourself a little overwhelmed at first. It's packed full of information, has lots of questions for the reader to answer and the loose-leaf format takes a bit of getting used to. Don't get discouraged. This book is well worth the effort it takes to read it. Tratar has the rather unique ability of integrating information from many different sources and presenting it as a unified whole.

In Life: A Complete Operating Manual you will find many tools to help you on your journey. Quotes from some of the most popular metaphysical authors (Neale Donald Walsh, Lee Carroll/ Kryon, Abraham-Hicks, Gregg Braden, Gary Zukav, and Shakti Gawain to mention only a few) are spread throughout the book, as are famous quotations and the lyrics of popular songs. Through these Tratar provides glimpses into the dynamics of life and ideas for moving into greater harmony with it. The author also shares her personal stories and writes from the perspective of one who has traveled the path herself.

This is not a book to skim through quickly and then put away on the shelf. It's a book to work through slowly, unit by unit, until all the concepts have been absorbed and integrated. The words 'operating manual' don't quite do it justice…it's more like a full course in reality creation, complete with techniques for clearing blockages from the past. There are lots of tips for redefining your path, staying centered, getting back on your path when you lose your way, and creating a healthy body. If you are serious about personal growth, this book can guide your journey and light your way.
