What people said about COSMIC RELIEF: HONORING & CELEBRATING THE GLOBAL PARADIGM SHAFT by Connie L. Schmidt | ||
|

From HotWired, the e
zine of Wired Magazine: "...the kind of book that a good bookstore would file in a wholly new section: real humor." For the complete review, click here. Note: if this link doesn't work, the URL is <http://www.hotwired.com/books/96/47/humble.html> |

From Skeptical
Inquirer
: "If you are seeking relief from the glut of New Age, wholistic lifestyle publications, this high-spirited spoof is for you. In fact, all skeptics will enjoy it. The author...uses sharp wit, humor-laced skepticism, and computer graphics to create text and ads we'd all like to see: 'All the Latest Poop on Quartz Crystals and Your Colon.' 'Isn't It Time You Considered a Career as an Incest Survivor?' 'Single Personality Disorder.' And so on. A welcome breath of fresh air." |

From NAPRA ReVIEW,
official trade journal of the New Age Publishing and
Retailing Alliance: "Irreverent is the one word that best describes this glorious spoof of New Age culture and commerce, but one word does not do justice to the genius behind this work. The sheer magnitude of Schmidt's wit - and her ability to play on words, themes, famous names, and book titles - is truly impressive, if you are able to stop laughing long enough to have a coherent thought... [It is] deliciously impudent and charmingly offensive...a must for every New Age bookshelf, as it will indeed provide 'relief' after a bout of serious reading." |

From Joe
Vitale,
marketing consultant and author of THERE'S A CUSTOMER
BORN EVERY MINUTE -- P.T. BARNUM'S SECRETS TO BUSINESS
SUCCESS: "Original, hysterical and even educational. Stretches your mind while blowing the whistle on new-agey topics that need to be spoofed. I laughed out loud and kept myself awake all night. Eat it up!" |
||
|
|||
|
From David Kaplan, award-winning journalist: "A wonderfully outrageous, laugh-out-loud parody of New Age culture." |
||
|
|||
|
From Marvin Allen, psychotherapist and author
of ANGRY MEN, PASSIVE MEN: UNDERSTANDING THE ROOTS OF
MEN'S ANGER & HOW TO MOVE BEYOND IT "COSMIC RELIEF is funny, intuitive, and offensive to everybody." |
