Critic reviews

Hollywood's "open secret"

Barry Michels and Phil Stutz are profoundly talented guides to the inner workings of the psyche. The Tools is breakthrough material that ignites your own capacity to transform your life.

Every single thing I've written of any power or merit came through using the tools Barry taught me. Usually counterintuitive, sometimes dangerous, they only changed my life.

The clear, user-friendly approach plus a belief that ‘the power of higher forces is absolutely real’ is a winning combination. Here is the rare self-help book that doesn’t end with the self.

The Tools is the new über-bible of life techniques. And it WORKS!

The tools helped me just like I wanted them to.

This summer’s most talked-about life-coaching book ... Every so often, a book comes along that crosses over from the self-help shelves and becomes a phenomenon, giving us a new perspective on some of the problems life has a nasty habit of throwing at us. It’s about to happen with The Tools, a reinvention of the classic self-help manual that has had the Easy Living office buzzing ever since it landed on our desks.

Confront and solve problems head-on

Read this!

That’s all I can say. I urge you to read it. It’s brilliant. Prophetic. Life changing.

Mind blowing, interpretation of spirituality

I have been a spiritual person for as long as I can remember but I never would have guessed this is where this book would ultimately take me. I was very interested in the therapy side and intrigued with Phil Stutz and but his methodology for bending the universe to work with you was amazing and so unexpected. Great work guys.

Finally a solution instead of just the decode

After working my way through hundreds of self help books this was has really struck something within !
Simple solutions which really work

I cannot thank you enough

🤔I know this will work
Without a doubt
It seems so clear at time
Then gone while I’m listening
I find myself going straight to jeopardy
Inspired
I will listen until it becomes part of me

Then I’ll forget and think it was me, crash, return
The pain is going to be wonderful 🤘😘❤️

Excellent!

By far the best book I have listen to or read in a long time. So profound and life changing. Thank you Phil and Barry for sharing these tools with the world.
