This book provides some very interesting insight into the repetitive behavioral patterns people employ to mask their beliefs about themselves and the world. Multiple approaches to counselling/psychology are pulled together providing a wholistic approach to self-help. The examples given are easy to relate to and it provided hope for the future. As a Psychologist I am recommending this book to some of my clients and the feedback from them is very positive.

It's been a year or so since I have read the hardback version of this book, but now that's it's available via paperback, I find myself coming back to it again and again ... giving this book to numerous friends... be they seemingly on the "right path" for themselves or "not so much."
Gail Saltz employs gentle yet poignant examples of real life scenarios throughout "Real Lives" and one would have to be in severe denial not to recognize themselves within the pages. It's not the easiest thing in the world to admit that you might be dancing to a beat of your own creation, especially if that beat is no longer relevant to your life. There's a subtle genius discovery between the lines that Dr. Saltz has written... and to me it is this: Any "mid life crisis" one finds themselves enduring might simply be the "backstory" that got you through childhood knocking on the front door of your adult life. In no way is this just another "blame your parents" diatribe. The book more so suggests that you still are the author of your own reality, and that it's never too late to revisit the facts and "rewrite" your own story!
So go ahead and look through the peep hole... you might enjoy the "new" you that emerges!

In my view Becoming Real is a serious book and if you read and follow the instructions you will save yourself a lot of money at the mental health clinic. If you have the guts to take the trip the tour guide is ready to take you there. The place you are going to isn't Disneyland or a carnival cruise, it is not a feel good kind of book, it is thorough and deep. This is an adventure and a challenging hike. The destination is worth the price and the time involved. Dr. Saltz holds your hand for awhile, shows you the ropes, then cuts you loose on your journey. The trail guide is comprehensive and easy to understand. Nevertheless if you are ready to go, you can not take it lightly, the destination is to reach someone very close to you...yourself. This getaway is, to quote the Beatles, "get back to where you once belonged". If you are in Spiritual direction and hoping to be of service to others this book will help you to cleanse your soul and heart to prepare you for your work. The book has a lot of examples with women but a man can benefit from the insights and the process that is laid out.

I have found this book to be invaluable. I started using the techniques described and have found my life becoming richer in experiences. When we attract the same situations to us over and over again, it means that change is seeking us out and keeps giving the message of change over and over until we "get it". If you want to "get it", get this book.

This book is such a waste of time and money. Having seen Dr. Saltz on Oprah, I was very anxious to read her book. That was the first mistake. The second and third were purchasing and reading it. I know who I am and this book did absolutly nothing to reveal the authentic self. More and more of the same type of rhetoric and buzz words you hear from so many psychologist. Becoming Real needs to get real.
