REVIEWS
Frances L. Bardacke, San Diego Magazine
April 1990, Vol.42, No.6
... a guidebook through the mysteries of personal growth and transformation.... Orcutt urges us to develop a life that makes a difference and offers a detailed map for being and becoming. No Beggars Just Balloons... is no chatty self-help or pop-psych book full of examples and recipes for how to maintain happiness or success. It is rather a series of guidelines to help us clarify, expand and center our thinking and therefore eventually our behavior.
James Faubel, Transformation Times
July 1990, Vol.9, No.4
... the book is written so it is easy to read and understand.... A primary purpose is to clarify and expand our belief system which tends to make us cognizant of how we think and feel instead of prescribing changes. We do the transforming as we become more knowledgeable of our real self... The last part of the book contains very valuable material for insuring successful relationships, especially the selection of a life partner.
Stanley Keleman, Director of the Center for Energetic Studies, Berkeley, California; author of Emotional Anatomy
Orcutt’s ideas are presented in a practical, interesting mode and are a good read for those who are interested in aiding relationships and self identity.
