Terrific book
I found the bright colours of the cover a bit off-putting for some reason, so didn't read it for a while. However, once I did start to read it, I realised it was an excellent book. Simply written, but with a great eye to the subtleties and realities of focusing. Thank you.

Further development in focusing
Ann Weiser Cornell's work takes Gendlin's initial theories and work and develops them further. A very accessible book for students.

better even than Dr Gendlin's book
Gendlin's book on the same subject is great but Anne gives a wider range of ways to do focusing / work with the felt sense in the body many of them great for art / dance people

Excellent intro to Focusing
This book was recommended to me as a good introduction to the practice of Focusing. The cover design put me off as it seemed quite dated but it well worth the purchase. he structure and content are excellent. Chapters are easy to read and set out to help prepare you also before you start the practice. The tone is balanced and pragmatic. For anyone interested in wanting to reconnect or relearn how to connect with emotions and feelings as part of wider self development or coaching, I'd recommend it as an easy to digest introduction.

if feelings are hard to deal with, this may help you.
this is a rare book that you can actually get some healing just from reading it. the title says it all. ann weiser cornell writes in a style that helps you pay attention inside yourself as you are reading it and feel what she is talking about, if you pay close enough attention to yourself as you read it. it is not like most other self help books where you go to the end of the chapter and do some exercises which i personally don't like to do. it takes too much time. this book is very effective. just by reading it you experience what she is describing. for me, focusing is an easy and very effective technique to learn to understand your self and your feelings better. it is a very easy to read, practical. and very short length book. i think you will enjoy it and get great value from it. i know i did. i have had a lot of trauma from childhood that has really made it difficult for me to access feelings and this is one of the best techniques i have found.
