About the author
Jake Eagle
15 books20 followersJake Eagle is a licensed psychotherapist, award-winning author, and co-founder of Reology.org, an educational organization dedicated to improving relationships and lives by fundamentally changing the way people relate to themselves and others. Jake and his wife, Hannah, have been happily married for more than twenty years. They live and work together in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and lead Reology Retreats all over the world.
Jake’s life journey is an example of pursing one’s passions. After sixteen years of running small businesses on the east coast, Jake recreated his life by moving to New Mexico and becoming a psychotherapist. His years in business influence his approach to therapy. In the late 1990′s, Jake’s focus shifted from brief therapy to deep therapy, the purpose of which is psychological integration. This new direction was advanced after he met his mentors, John and Joyce Weir, creators of a method known as Percept, which has now evolved into Reology. The practice of Reology leads to sustainable personal growth, maturity, and love, allowing people to build stronger foundations within themselves. These foundations support lives of greater ease and grace.

In "ReRight Your Life," Jake Eagle teaches Reology's concepts through the recounting of actual conversations that he had with his dying brother, an approach which I found to be both creative and moving. I've never read a self-help book that allows the reader to learn just by being a fly on the wall, so to speak. Reading the book felt almost like watching an engaging documentary.
I am generally turned off by self-help books because most of them suffer from platitudes and questionable theory, but this one is an exception, and I believe that its underlying philosophy could solve a lot of the world's problems if the world would dare to embrace it. Achieving peaceful relations on a global scale, however, is merely wishful thinking, in my opinion. It's much more practical to apply the principles of Reology to one's own life and interpersonal relationships. Unlike other books, where the reader is expected to improve himself or herself in isolation, which may actually attract conflict if he or she is successful, this book encourages the reader to discover and utilize Reology "with a companion, partner, or friend. For although we alone are responsible for ourselves, we live our lives with others—-synergistically and interactively—-using reflections of ourselves to guide and shape our growth."
I didn't give the book 5 stars because I found the language of ReSpeak to be rather awkward and believe that it would be more effective as a tool for internal dialogue, as opposed to using it in communications with people who are unfamiliar with the construct. Obviously, if you're practicing ReSpeak with a friend or partner, then this won't be an issue. On the other hand, if you start talking ReSpeak with the uninitiated, and people comment on your odd manner of speaking or ask for clarification, you may be able to use that as way to introduce others to Reology. I don't have the personality to be able to pull this off without alienating people, but maybe you do.
Other than the parts of it that I perceived to be awkward, I did enjoy the book very much. The chapters on "individuating" and "living according to one's values" were the most meaningful to me because I came across this book after having already done the work to "ReRight" my life. (While I didn't use Reology to get there, I used a similar process, and I feel confident in saying that the methods described in the book can be very effective.) Unfortunately, my own personal journey to happiness and self-actualization was met with hostility from a narcissistic parent, and it took me several years to figure out that I wasn't the one with the problem. It wasn't until I read Jake Eagle's book that I discovered that there's a word for what I was going through: individuation. It's what healthy people do, and new parents would be wise to pick up this book and take note. (I'm not sure that there's much hope for older parents with grown children, but it's worth a shot.)
Thank you, Mr. Eagle, for the moments of clarity that I experienced while reading your book. And thanks for the laughs, too. That story about the nun was hilarious.

I'm lucky to have friends who love me. This book was given to me by my girlfriend, after a failed relationship and a downturn at my job. All I have to say is thank you to both the author and her and a great big Wow, didn't realize how messed up my life was until I started to re-align it! I know I covered a lot up and this taught me to be strong and understand that I control the problems in my life and as long as I control them, I can control the outcome. The glass half full mentality. I"m in a new relationship and a new job (not making what I use to, but so much more happy)! Quality of life is better. It's a must read if you are not centered in life!
