It takes courage for the soul to walk down a new and unfamiliar path. As people struggle to break free of personal problems in life, the tendency to rely on old, familiar patterns prevents them from exploring new solutions. It is times like these that a fresh perspective is needed to shed new light on a situation that will point the soul down a new path. A GUIDE FOR THE ADVANCED SOUL: A BOOK OF INSIGHT was created just for this purpose, to be consulted in times of indecision and crisis so people can gain a new understanding of their questions, and provide guidance. At any moment, the Guide can be opened to any page and within the words will be the answer regardless of the specific challenge. The subconscious mind -- that well of intuition and creativity -- will instantly be redirected by the words and a sincere desire to grow. Within A GUIDE FOR THE ADVANCED SOUL, every page holds a gift. Welcome the problems and discover their gifts!

About the Author

Susan Hayward was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1957. After traveling extensively throughout Europe, North Africa, Canada, and America, she settled in Sydney, Australia. Here she broadened her interests into the alternative fields of herbalism, massage, astrology, nutrition and meditation practices. Through her own exploration of Eastern and Western philosophies, and desire for personal growth, she self-published this book of wisdom. The wide selection of quotations Susan has chosen demonstrates her belief that love and wisdom transcend all boundaries of time, nationality and religious dogma. Her foreword embraces her own philosophy of life and the concept of using the book for guidance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to my collection.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2004

I felt the need to write this review and sing my praises about this collection after receiving other books in this genre by a different author which proved to be greatly disappointing.
I own many books of this type used for divination through bibliomancy and practice this magick daily.
This book has an attractive cover with its inside text written in calligraphy script. It also has a fabric tassel/bookmark attached from the binding which makes a nice touch. The quote on each page credits the origin from which the quote came which is nice to have available for when I go searching for other motivational quotes. It has also steered me in a good direction on purchasing other meaningful books because of the references to the author and/or book titles.
For the purpose of divination through bibilomancy, the collection of Susan Haywards books has my top recommendations. They are easy to communicate with and have a very nice reciprocating energy. The quotes have depth, dimension, and a good loving energy within them.
I have bought several of them as gifts. The books of this collection will most likely remain on my gift-giving list for many years to come.
My one and only gripe is that the picture shown is not like the book I received. Mine had different lettering which seemed half as nice as the one on the picture, but hey...the book isn't about its cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best quote book I’ve ever come across! Thoughtful, meaningful, deep and yet simplistic.
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021
Verified Purchase
There are many cute and catchy quote books out there and I’ve purchased many over the years - and this hands down has been my favorite for almost a decade. The quotes are not basic and cliche as so many of these types of books are and each quote in there is deep, meaningful, and most I’d never seen. I also found what became my favorite meditation lecturer/ author based on a google search of a quote from this book.
I’ve purchased these books countless times over the years as gifts and, I honestly could not recommend a quote book more. Just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspirational and Uplifting Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2009
Verified Purchase
Bibliomancy or the art of telling the future through the use of random selection of books is an interesting method of divination which I believe is what this book is designed to allow its owner to do. While it is up to you as to whether this is a valid idea, the book itself is quite good.

In essence, it is a book of uplifting and inspirational quotations and if you meditate or contemplate on the random page that you turn to, much like the author suggests, I found it to be a motivational and sometimes peaceful or comforting tome. There are many passages randomly placed on the pages in this book and if it fails to help you in some way, then the fault may lie in the expectations of the reader and not the book itself.

I highly recommend this book for its wonderful content and its unfailing way of inspiring me even when I'm not feeling particularly good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Inner Voice
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
This gem of inspirational quotes has been “my” guide since its first pocket edition in 1999. Its author, Susan Hayward, has compiled 215 pages ...to quote the author “ my aim was to produce a book of simple truths from many different philosophies to help the reader focus on their Inner Voice.”
In this moment in time it feels very necessary to me to focus on our inner voice for “the simple truths “ and reading a page of this wonderful book almost every morning helps me to balance and focus on what, to me, is important. So, I often buy more copies ...it makes a great gift!

Sometimes we just need to hear the voice of a higher power. This book always opens to the right page to help us see what we've missed and allow us to make choices from wisdom and reflection verses reaction. And in those odd situations where we don't know, this book offers insights to give us peace. A book that connects us to spiritual insight and brings magic and mystery back to ordinary living.

I came across this book accidentally while reading Richard Bach's wonderful book 'Illusions' many years ago and thought at the time it was merely part of the fictional script.... Wow, was I wrong! One of the most original books of inspirational sayings, A Guide for the Advanced Soul, has accompanied me through many of life's ups and downs and has never disappointed.... I keep a copy at home and in my car and refer frequently as it's wisdom and insight seem remarkably relevant and timely... I have gifted it to those I felt would benefit and will continue to do so... This is a reference book and a source of inspiration and courage... simple yet complex, beautiful but real, meaningful and healing... and I am grateful for it's ever-giving gift to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but "just" a book of quotes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
A great little book, at great value too for the number of pages, contains a lot of useful little insights, inspirations even that can could help maintain or build a good sense of self.

I like how many different places and people this book takes from, allowing opportunity to follow up and look up the work of other people with similar objectives to this book.

The single problem, and the reason this is four stars, is that it is "just" a book of quotes. There was no real definite indication of this on amazon, so for some people who are looking for actual discussion, explanation (even if that discussion is just about the quotes) knowing that would be useful. However, I wasn't looking for a book of quote but it is nonetheless a book to have if you are after inspiration, reassurance or self-development.
