Book review by Lowell H. Young
“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be  a victim of the past or a pioneer of the future.† – Deepak Chopra
After his fourth trip to a hospital detox center, Bill Wilson concluded that there must be a better way to live. He surrendered his life to a “Higher Power†and, along with Dr. Bob Smith, co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous. No records are kept, however, with over 100,000 chapters, AA has helped many millions of alcoholics recover their sobriety and become pioneers of their future.
After years of struggling in an abusive marriage, a spiritually broken “Lisa†decided there must be a better way and became a pioneer of healing dysfunctional behavior.
The word “oikos†is Greek for “house†and is the origin of the science of ecology. Basically, ecology involves the study of the interactions of living “houses†with each other and their environment. Using that model, Lisa Romano has done an astonishing job of remodeling her “house.†She has repaired her damaged foundation; replaced defective wiring; added internal and external alarm systems; added a new holistic computer system and installed a state-of-the-art communication network. She has emptied all of her closets of unwanted baggage and removed debilitating trash.
The potpourri of Lisa’s “house†includes essences from the following books:
The Power Of Positive Thinking: Norman Vincent Peale.
The Power Of Now: Eckhart Tolle.
The Road Less Traveled: Scott Peck.
As A Man Thinketh: James Allen.
The Bible: A sprinkling of gems.
By doing her homework (Self-work) she was able to recover her lost, once-in-a-universe “Self.†During this process of thorough introspection she has gained wisdom and inspiration and a greater understanding of what it means to be “made in the image of God.†By doing research, gathering facts, collecting corroborating information and including personal anecdotes, she has created an amazing assemblage that will hopefully encourage and empower others to overcome problems of personality dysfunction, addiction, codependence, physical—mental—spiritual abuse.
Currently there are millions of alcoholics in the US. There are countless millions entangled in co-dependent, dysfunctional relationships. The divorce rate is a dismal 50%.
Lisa’s book offers specific tools and guidelines that, if employed, may offer people hope of escaping their hopeless situations and making it possible to celebrate rather than curse their lives.
It is astounding to realize that an investment of $11.95 may reduce or eliminate much human suffering. I hope that “QUANTUM TOOLS†finds its way into the broken homes and broken hearts of the millions of people suffering from a plethora of social and spiritual dysfunctions. Lisa is happily remarried and has written four books that all emerge straight from her heart and reborn spirit.
