It’s       not just reading, it’s expanding into the unknown or enhancing       previous knowledge. Wollmann’s approach is to share his       teachings & experiences, certainly not intended to look down       or feel superior, but accepting diverse individuality. The       righteous is to allow any other persona reach such level &       continue moving forward without suppressing those behind. RMB              Was this review helpful?

Without a doubt,       the worst book ever written about astrology.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted July 31, 2007        Powerful and insightful       This book is groundbreaking and allows the reader to understand       the connection between ones psychological makeup and how their       life unfolds. The negative reviews here are preposterous and       obviously the work of unknowledgable hatemongers.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted December 5, 2005        The most hilarious attempt at a book I've ever seen       Dear Lord! where should I start? The indexes at the end of each       chapter? The overblown claims? The kooky beliefs? If you can       manage to get past the first page without laughing at the       author, you have my admiration. Hell, just read the back cover       and look at the third grade grammar. 'Einstein lead us'? Too       funny for words. This is a great Xmas present if you're tired of       sending 'The Clapper' to people as a gag gift.              Was this review helpful?

It's certainly not the least bit scholary. Even       the first paragraph of the introduction is self-contradictory       and it goes downhill from there. Self-publishing was the only       method the 'author' of this 'book' could use to get it printed.       I have never seen anything as bad as this waste of trees. Mr.       Wollmann should have hired an editor. At least the sentence       structures could have become sane. Too bad it wouldn't help the       content. Don't bother with this one. There are plenty of good       books available here. Buy one of those.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted May 3, 2001        buy something else       The author contradicts himself in the first paragraph of the       introduction and it goes downhill from there. He should have at       least used a spell checker before sending it to the printer (it       is self-published).              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted March 7, 2001        Not worth your while       Mr. Wollmann has written a text that is, in one word,       incomprehensible. Its layout of redundant indices is confusing,       as are many of his arguments, especially those relating to how       one has the power to define one's own reality. Wollmann spends       no time defending possible critical thought against his       arguments and often seems like a preacher at the pulpit that       puts you to sleep. Save your time and money for a more       worthwhile pursuit.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted December 10, 2000        Not worth your money       This book is wordy beyond belief, with horrible grammar and       nonexistant spell check. Wollmann's theories are questionable at       best (create your own reality?) and are left wide open to       criticism. Save your money and buy yourself a real astrology       book.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted December 12, 2000        literary lump o'coal       For that not so nice person on your Xmas list, Wollmann's stinky       long winded- doesn't make a lick of sense debacle makes the       perfect gift! If you really want to get even with someone,       consider this book as a stocking stuffer if you cannot find a       chunk of coal.              Was this review helpful? Yes No Report this review       Anonymous       Posted December 19, 2000        Life in Wollmann's reality       With 'The Integrated Astrological Guide to Self-Empowerment,'       Mr. Wollmann bases his central thesis on the idea that people       can create their own reality through their beliefs. If this book       illustrates how the author applies his argument, I suggest you       not buy it. Mr. Wollmann has stated his belief in astrology,       reincarnation, pyramidology, the Roswell crash, ancient       astronauts, men in black, JFK assassination conspiracy, the       'philadelphia experiment,' and much more. He truly believes       Atlantis really existed because reincarnated spirits say so. Mr.       Wollmann also believes the Gaza pyramids are tetrahedronal; that       Tau Ceti is in Taurus, that the star Alpha Centauri supports       life, and many more questionable beliefs. If living in a fantasy       world is your idea of self-empowerment, this book is for you.              Was this review helpful?

Even if one could       get past the grammatical errors and repetition of indexes the       illogical verbiage leaves you shaking your head and wondering       how and why Wollmann even bothered to pen this terrible       Astrology book. He condradicts himself uncountable times,       sometimes even on the same page! It's as if he was making it up       as he went along.              Was this review helpful?

Wollmann takes the cake when it comes to writing       unintelligable drivel. Don't waste your time and money on this       lousy book.              Was this review helpful?

These are just a few       of the things lacking in Wollmann's self published book.
