Praise for Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar
“I’ve known Guy as a dynamic, charismatic, and savvy presenter; now
I know him as a clear and persuasive writer. His style is fresh, light, and
bright. This book’s positive outlook, clarity, and attention to detail will
undoubtedly place it at the top of many a reading list.”
– Prof. Erantha de Mel, PhD; author of Optimizing the Infinite Mind
“Guy’s book is so unique, that after 40 years of practice as a psycho-
therapist I have put his ideas into practice, which have brought amazing
results. This book will bring great insight to all who will read it and put
these words and actions of wisdom into practice.”
—Dr. Hans Vischjager, director of BEHA Institute
for Psychological Studies
“This book immediately captured my interest and enlightened me to
the many possibilities of mankind, the impossible is possible! It is very
refreshing and unique in its approach. I am sure the ICPT (International
Council of Professional Therapists) would find it as interesting and as
educational as I have.”
—Helen Pourouna, ICPT director of operations;
editor of ICPT Magazine
“Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar sounds like the start of a joke
and Guy admits this right up front. But this is a serious book that ties
modern science with deep philosophy. It talks about dark matter and
string theory and quantum mechanics and also about how neuroplasticity
makes it possible for our brains to be constantly evolving and adapting.
Even better, Guy shows you how to consciously channel that adapting so
that each day you are more able to achieve what you would like to while
also ridding yourself of the tension that is so much a part of our lives."
—Srikumar Rao, PhD, Columbia Business School professor (ret.);
author of Happiness at Work
“Buddha and Einstein Walk Into a Bar is unique in many ways. It can
be read, understood, and used by everyone, independent of age, educa-
tion level, or nationality. It combines experience-based and research-based
insights and knowledge with practical applications in daily life. As a book
should be evaluated in relation to long-term and lasting positive effects, I
am quite sure that this book will rate highly by many people around the
world and during many years to come.”
—Lars-Eric Unestahl, PhD, president of Scandinavian International
University and founder of Integrated Mental Training
