A group of strangers from all walks of life come together and are transformed as they reach out, under the direction of the Kaufmans, to help a little boy the medical world had given up as hopeless. This heartwarming journey of loving a child back to life will inspire you and present a compelling new way to deal with life's traumas and difficulties.

In the "comings and goings" of life, many of us will be there, at some time, to support a loved one facing death. This book is dedicated to all those who want that experience to be gentle, fulfilling and loving for the people they so cherish as well as for themselves.

If you’ve ever ignored your own “visions” or intuition, this book may very well change your mind. After you've read this book, you'll think twice before you dismiss your next dream, hunch or premonition.

Sometimes it is the simplest thought that allows us to cut through the clutter of confusion and, in a moment of time, reframe our beliefs and worldviews. The reflections and insights in Out-Smarting Your Karma and Other PreOrdained Conditions are offered in the hope that they may gently and playfully tickle your mind to question your "reality" ... and inspire you to recreate your thoughts (and, therefore, your life) so that everyday experiences become more sensible, friendly, fulfilling and empowering.

The definitive 12-tape series of lectures by Barry Neil Kaufman, recorded live during training intensives at The Option Institute, has become a best-selling classic. For each area of discussion there is a comprehensive approach to uncovering beliefs which create unhappiness, helping you move toward a more loving, nonjudgmental attitude and lighting the path to new discoveries and new possibilities.

Barry Neil Kaufman gives an electrifying and controversial university presentation. It details case studies of how parents challenged themselves and the diagnostic pessimism of professionals to work with their own children to facilitate meaningful and often unexpected changes and improvements using The Son-Rise Program. He reveals how ordinary folks, initially overwhelmed and despairing, become effective and inspired facilitators in their own children’s transformations.

Samahria (Suzi) Lyte Kaufman, who with her husband Bears (Barry Neil Kaufman) created The Son-Rise Program, shares in a Q&A session on this 3-CD series her very insightful, inspiring and nitty-gritty guidance, using the principles and methods of The Son-Rise Program, in dealing with the challenges of having a child with Autism and other difficulties. What distinguishes these CD’s is the warmth and helpful suggestions from the first Son-Rise mom who has not only been in the trenches with her own child but with many other children and their families.
