Zero Limits - What are your thoughts?

31 replies
Having been a rabid Joe Vitale fan for a long while now, I just recently picked up Zero Limits.

I had brief exposure to the ideas from an old roommate of mine who loved the book, but I never got around to reading more than a chapter.

I'm absolutely loving what's inside this book though. The idea is that in order to affect real change in ourselves and the world, we must take 100% responsibility for everything. I do mean 100%. Everything in our existence, from our money problems, to our pets, to others, to how they act towards us, to terrorism, to the economy... everything is because of us. It all boils down to something inside of us that needs to be 'returned to zero'.

I've been loving this idea for at least a year now, but this book has put it in a whole new light. It really shines in this area.

Have you read this book? If so, what did you think? Did you put the technique into practice?

    Have to say - it changed my life!
    Read it 2 times completely - and read it randomly on a daily basis now.

    I been reading self-help / intuition / motivation / the secret / Napoleon hills / Tony Robbinses / ... and other stuff for a decade. I been studying and communicating with enlightened masters. I been meditating, visualizing, intending and positiving until my brain would swell and eyes pop with not much to show off as a result. My guess I am not alone.

    But within last month after reading Zero Limits I literally steering my life back on track with ease. I love the concepts and love simplicity and power of them.

    Perhaps I've grown up to it?

    Feels like I can safely donate all my huge self-help collection back to charity now.

    I do practice it on daily basis with most annoying situations, people and conditions only to watch them dissolve in a right way. Dr. Hew Len says it needs to be consistent practice and I agree.
    It's joy!

      Yep. You're not alone.

      Thanks for your advice on Zero Limits.
      I will have to look for this book but not as a e-book I want the 'real' book. (I am overseas).

    I totally recommend it. In just the past couple days I've seen some really cool things start happening around me because I've been obsessing about using the technique taught in the book.

    It's great

    I absolutely love the technique. "Obsession" is the right way in this case

    You can speak to the person (boss, wife, kids, stranger) and practice it at the same time. Power and simplicity is amazing.

    I've read the book. Good stuff! It wasn't as powerful for me as some of Joe's other work, but I got a lot of out of it. I do use the method he describes in there and believe it has made a big difference in my life.

    I would recommend it.

    Nightingale/Conant sells a CD set by Joe called "The Missing Secret" in which he goes into Dr. Hew Len's story. I've been doing the cleaning for about a year now. And have taught it to several of my friends.

    They have some wonderful stories about how it made changes around them.

    Last April there was a gathering of Warriorforum members in Austin, TX - Eric Louviere put it all toghether. One evening I went out to dinner with 6 or 8 people. A couple of them knew each other, but the rest hadn't met before this.

    Over dinner one of them started telling a story about a time when he used cleaning, funny thing... everyone at the table kenw what it was and was already using the technique. What's the chance of a group of strangers all being involved in that little saying!

      I bought Joe's book, "The Key". It talks about the same thing. It's a book that contains about 10-15 methods for clearing yourself. It was pretty good. I got some good techniques out of it. I'm loving the simplicity of "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." though. It feels so good to think "I love you" all day long.

      Greetings,

      My first official post.

      I've been a reader of Joe Vitale since I read The Attractor Factor and he just comes off as somebody very likable. This book sounds like a great read - I will definitely have to locate a copy.

      BTW: Joe Vitale is featured in the latest issue of this car magazine called Heavy Hitters and it talks about ordinary people overcoming the odds to live a better life. A really hip mag. Now, many young people will see him and hopefully read his awesome books.

    Hi,
    Have you seen Joe Vitale's website its www.mrfire.com and there is an archive of sooo much free stuff.

    He and Bob Proctor are really awakening me to a new life. I also saw him in a video explaining that life is a process of awakening and that there are 4 stages. The first one being where the majority of people are and will always be living their life as the 'victim'. The second stage is when people realise that they 'create their reality' and start to manifest things. The 3 third stage is just to surrender to the divine the source within you and the fourth is to just let go and enjoy the ride! Interesting, dont you think? What stage are you?

    All the best

    I'm glad so many people are going to be picking this book up.

    Since reading it I'm seeing so many outer and inner changes.

    Here are a few examples:
    • One of our dogs was miraculously healed after starting this cleaning for him
    • I've had much more peace about things that would normally bother me
    • People around me who are normally upset about everything have calmed down
    • I find that I'm enjoying each moment more thorougly

    There's a lot more. I can't imagine what else is going to start happening! I've only been practicing this for 3-4 days now... What about three months down the line?!

    Today was particularly hard day for me. Say *really* difficult.
    I am practising cleaning almost non-stop with almost no visible results.
    Yet I managed to find and fix serious bugs in software I writing and work on new technologies.

    So to compare - 3 months ago i would slip into deep depression yet today I stay rather calm and even manage to be quite productive.

    I also find that cleaning technique is not superfast (but not slow either).
    Because issues are cleaned so deeply and permanently - it takes some time - so faith and persistence are important.
    Yet I have to admit results are pretty visible within reasonably short period of time.

    PS: My most shocking result was disappearance of negative feedback from my Ebay account that I covered in other thread before.

    Hi Scheda

    I have read the book and I must begin by confessing that I'm not a rabid Vitale fan. I'm cautious with him. To my mind he milks an idea for his own gain, but I watch him with interest because he's so successful I can't just dismiss him!

    However, (since you asked), my honest critique of "Zero Limits" is that the true hero is, of course, Dr. Len, whose chapters at the end were what made the book worth buying. (The idea that we are 100% responsible for our lives is beautiful - and was completely covered on the sales page!)

    All of that notwithstanding, I remain eternally grateful to Joe Vitale, because had it not been for him, I would never have heard of ho'oponopono. (And I've been to Maui and I've worked - in the UK - in psychiatry!)

    As for whether I tried the technique, yes, I did, and it brings great peace. I can't say I made it to the level of mastery that Dr. Len has, and until a moment or two ago I had forgotten about it - so now I'm grateful to you too!

    More to the point, I'm grateful to me for creating you and your message! :-)

    Hi guys,
    I've created a Ho'oponopono cleaning web widget.
    It's my attempt to widgetize the benefits of Ho'oponopono cleaning process and have all my website visitors to "subconsciously" clean themselves as well as my site and well as everyone connected.

    This tiny widget slowly reflects main phrases of Ho'oponopono cleaning process. My idea is to have it on a sidebar of website, unobtrusive but visible with a corner of an eye to every visitor of mine.

    I put this widget on my site yesterday and woke up in the morning with $100 sale on my Paypal account. So far so good. I plan to have it running there forever.

    So here it is - grab the HTML code and paste it on your site. Your site needs to allow javascript. If you need instructions for Wordpress or Blogger.com - let me know.

      I read Zero Limits when it first came out. I still use H'oponopono today( I call it the "H" word.)

      Since we are often dealing with crap, we are constantly cleaning. H'oponopono allows us to constantly clean. We change our vibration, our perception, and the situation begins to change.

      Combining this technique with EFT is very powerful. Brad Yates has an example of it on his Youtube channel.

      Simple, effective, easy to remember and mantra-like...I say give it a try.

        I've never read anything by Joe Vitale and I'm only slightly familiar with him from the Secret. This book sounds great though and I'll have to check it out.

        I'm reading "The Trick to Money is Having Some" by Stuart Wilde now and he touches on the importance of responsibility if one is to be successful. I began to think about this and realized that responsibility does apply to EVERYTHING.

      I use ho'oponopono on a daily basis. It really works. It has changed my life.
      A friend of mine had ordered that book for her, but for some reason (I don't remember why) it was delivered to my house. I read it completely before giving it to her.
      It is really amazing.
      The only thing that I didn't like, I don't know if you will agree with me, is that in my opinion Joe Vitale did not understand it well. He didn't 'get it'. If you watch these videos: , you will see how when Dr Hew Len is asked about his opinion of the book, he replies: 'depending on the page'...
      Zero Limits is Joe's personal interpretation of it. If you want to understand it well, I would suggest to watch those videos and any materials from Dr Hew Len and make your own interpretation of it.

    I would say this way of thinking could cause depression, to say we are 100 percent responsible for everything including terrorism, what a burden, not to mention guilt this could cause, I looked into the law of attraction and I think some people take it too far, if anything it made me feel anxious in the end. Is it only me who feels this way?

    Zero limits. The phrase itself looks so tempting but if we notice, it's a mind trap to seek attention. There has to be and always will be limits.

      I have been interested in Law of Attraction for a long time, but I have never been able to get results (probably lack of consistent effort). I am on Vitale's mailing list and he had a squeeze page for his coaching program. The sixth tip was something about ho-oponpono. I was intrigued, listened to the three Zero Limits I and II and the audiobook.

      This has really made a huge difference in my emotional life and how I see the world. One thing to keep in mind: once you become enlightened your whole world begins to change. At first it may become a lot worse (divorce, bankruptcy, unemployment) while your life aligns with the Universe. But some positive results are immediate.

      This stuff is simple to learn and implement and is probably the one of the few things that really work. Joe said several time that he is kind of embarrassed to talk about The Secret now knows that there is something much more powerful.

      I read The Awakening Course, which is a follow-up to Zero Limits -- great read too.
