"I have found 'Gremlin-Taming' to be a unique, imaginative, and effective tool on my path of deep healing. It has helped me dump some of the baggage which hindered my life so unnecessarily. It is also fun. . . . I highly recommend it!" — Joan Baez

"Rick Carson is a genius at exploring our inner conflicts in novel ways—I almost said fun ways. If you would like to engage in a form of self-exploration that is upbeat and that retains a sense of humor, unlike most of the depressively morbid forms of psychotherapy, this is your book. And there's a bonus: it works." — Larry Dossey, MD, Executive Editor, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words

"I loved Taming Your Gremlin^®. . . . The imagery of this book led me to a very profound awareness—a new form of the fable the 'Emperor's New Clothes.'" — Virginia M. Satir, author of Peoplemaking and Conjoint Family Therapy, about the first edition
