Not impressed
The name of this book is 'the 72 names of God'. Unfortunately these 72 names are all made up. What about the real names for G-d. Like Hashem and Eloheim and Adonai. Where did those flutter off to? Because those names are not included or explained. This book is a total misrepresentation. It eschews traditional kabbalah and its only merit is as a coffee table book or an art book. The title is totally deceiving. Seth J. Frantzman

The Cutting Edge of Self Help!
Celebrate Yehuda Berg's The 72 Names of God! It is an exciting privilege at this time to learn to use the technology of the Hebrew letters that are the DNA of creation and our soul. These are the keys to open the doors to achieving mind over matter and truly creating miracles in our lives and in others. When meditating on the 72 Names we can use the power of our soul, mind and unseen forces of the universe to achieve higher consciousness, so that we can remove our egos, share with others and achieve genuine sustenance, peace and fulfillment within and way beyond this physical world! The tools in this book have given me the conviction and confidence to see real changes in my life. For example, when I scan on the Hebrew letter combination for Certainty, I truly see a difference in my life that removes doubt. It is amazing!

Interesting
Its very difficult to review a book like this. Personal opinion comes into play more than if I was reviewing a cd or a dvd! Followers of Kabbalah believe that each of the 72 names of G-d relates specifically to an area of your life. (The names were hidden in code in the Torah). It is said that Hebrew / Aramaic was the orginal language spoken by all of mankind (until the Tower of Babel) and whilst we cannot understand the 'names', our souls recognize the letters. (Kabbalah believes strongly in re-incarnation.) Therefore, by meditating on the names, you soul connects with the 'light' and dependant on the name you 'scanned', depends on the improvement you will make in your life.
This book is essentially a 'tool' to enable you to make the connection.
The book is presented beautifully, more like a fashionable coffee table book than a 'spiritual' tool. Some people will have problems with this, but the reality is, this is the 21st Century, and its no doubt a necesesity~in this day and age. How do you want it presented?
A introduction to Kabbalah is included, an explanation of what you are doing, a description of each letter (one name per page) and what to 'think' about whilst meditating on each letter. (Which is important to me as I have difificulty relaxing my mind and trying not to plan my shopping list whilst trying!)
But.... does it actually work?
Well, I am a student of Kabbalah, and I do scan the letters on a regualr basis. Since doing so, I have certainly become more succesful in work, more positive, and happier. Is it as a direct result of this book? I dont know. Is it a result of Kabbalah - yes, definately. Thats either because it's real, or simply because the tools I have learnt have made me a more positive person, like self-help. (What I believe isn't important here)
Whatever reason YOU think, either way its a good thing. So what have you got to lose!!!
