Gerry and Lorraine are both exceptional and inspiring individuals, this book covers every aspect of thinking, feelings and emotions and how to deal with life the most simple but effective way. Personally, Gerry has helped me on my journey for many years and has helped change my thinking and my actions to give me and my family an incredible life, I would love everyone to read this book as it can help every person who reads it and I believe this strongly. Thanks Gerry and Lorraine for all your hard work and for the help you both give to others . You are both amazing examples. God bless.

Absolutely fascinating and life changing. I myself struggle with life on life’s terms, but with Gerry & Lorraine's fantastic, simple, yet effective guide, I’m starting to better understand myself and my behaviours, and what I need to do to better them. For anyone who struggles with life, or even wants to better understand why they behave the way they do, then this book is the break through you have been looking for. Fantastic work Gerry, amazing! Will look forward to what’s next to come.

There can't be many of us who can claim to be completely comfortable with the way we live our lives - the impact of our thoughts and behaviours on both ourselves and those around us is something which we all ought to take time to consider.
This book highlights the questions we need to ask ourselves and provides a pathway to facilitate change. As its title suggests, this is a book that's been written for everyone to read - and everyone should take the time to read it.

Great insight on how depression can be responsible for so many physical ailments, learning to control your thoughts and taking responsibility for your actions can change your life, we are spirits in a human body. Thank you Gerry & Lorraine.

Brian

This is the only book I have read that teaches us what we need to change and shows us how to do it, rather than telling us what it is we need to change. I know I needed to change but didn't know how to until I read this book. It is absolutely amazing, written so simple and explains our lives in a way that children can even understand what is happening to them. If any book can help break the cycle of dysfunction, it's this book. Thank you so much for the tremendous insight, awareness and understanding of oneself.

"Now I understand" the book I've just finished has been a great read. Every chapter really spoke to me and Gerry's Life experience and insight really shines through. If your looking to understand your negative thoughts and behaviours and how to change them into more positive and helpful ones, then this book is for you. You won't put it down once you start it, amazing, inspiring, full of wisdom, a fabulous book.

Loved the book so much Gerry will enjoy reading it over and over and having the opportunity each day to put it all into practice. There honestly wasn’t a section of the book where I lost interest or couldn’t relate. It was really that powerful and relevant. Thank you and I will see you again soon

The book deals with the negativity we are taught as  young people and how to deal with these feelings and emotions.  Gerry, an ex addict himself, shows how he turned his life around by positive thinking and dealing with negative feelings. This book puts you in touch with the spirit and is a great read too.

I have read many books in my life but none that spoke to me the way Now I Understand did. It is written so simple with so much content, awareness and understanding about ourselves, life, and most importantly, about how to change our thinking, behaviours and how to accept and love ourselves unconditionally. Thank you so much Gerard & Lorraine. xxx

Nicole

Great book, really inspiring and educational. I cannot thank Gerry & Lorraine enough for  their guidance. What a read xxx

Rebecca

I Highly recommend the book as it’s a Very inspiring read .Knowing that it’s true to it’s word . I find it more meaningful with the knowledge that Gerry came through the other side of it . With Gerry sharing his experience within the book and his tips, which I am currently using in my day to day life, my feelings, emotions and sensations within my body are more positive . Thank you Gerry & Lorraine.

Gerry Murphy was fundamental in saving my life, turning my life around and giving me the tools to live life in the present moment. This book covers everything Gerry explained to me, from the picture I had painted of my expected life as a child, my expectations of life, people, and situations all needed to be addressed. Through a commitment to getting better, working with Gerry and following the suggestions in the book I did just that! Old habits die hard, but they do! Thinking can and does change! We need to reprogram the brain, years of subconscious experience, reaction and emotion! It is possible the age of miracles really is upon us. Bless you Gerry & Lorraine, truly grateful. If you are struggling with depression, addiction, trauma or maybe someone you know. This is the first book that has given me a simple insight into my problems and what I needed to do to resolve my inner conflicts. Fundamentally it was down to me and I had to put the effort in to get the miracle of life back to joy and happiness, what a read??

I have worked closely with Gerry to develop my spirituality and try to understand my perceptions of life. In Gerry’s new book it had me gripped from the opening pages. This is not only a book about Gerry and Lorraine’s life but is a reflection of anyone who reads it’s life. Gerry breaks down the struggles we face in modern day society and gives the reader the tools to cope with life on life’s terms. I couldn’t recommend this book anymore and Gerry’s work. I have been blessed to have had the pleasure of Gerry helping me with some of my own personal battles. A great book and will not disappoint any readers.Ross xx

I read this book at my lowest & it gave me the hope & strength to fight for me. Thank you Gerry & Lorraine xx

A book for how to live life on life’s terms. Honesty at it’s best and the reality of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Can’t thank both of you enough for putting such an amazing piece together, it truly has helped me on my journey, and I believe it will continue to help many others. “You are not your thoughts”

April xx

Wow!  What a fantastic book? Honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. If only we’d all read this, then we will truly understand. I’m so glad I set aside the time to work through it and begin to understand the content. I truly believe there is something for everyone within this book, no matter what their personal circumstances are. I’m sure many, many people will benefit now and, in the future, if they have the chance to read it. Many, many thanks Gerry & Lorraine. Xx

If anyone is struggling with pain, addictions or any of life's problems, this book is a good 1st step for your recovery. It comes from people who have experienced the same pain that you would have felt at some point in your life or are still experiencing today. It shows us that you are not alone and climbing out from that dark place isn’t as impossible as you may think. Powerful.

Dear Gerry & Lorraine

I have just finished your book. Upon finishing the book, I had a strong feeling to contact you and write this review. I read the book over a few hours. Your clear, concise, real, honest, heartfelt way of communicating deeply spoke to me.  My name is Sasha and alcoholism and abuse were prevalent in my immediate family when I was young. My dad has been 8 years sober. Both he and my mum grew up with alcoholic, mentally ill, abusive parent(s) who had no idea how to love. Alcohol as a coping mechanism has been passed down through the generations (just as you describe) on both my mother and father’s side.  The book gave me an understanding of myself and of my parents that I had been previously blind to. It was as if someone had finally shone a light into the darkness. I spent a lot of my life running away from where I came from – pulling away from it, pretending I wasn’t affected. Now I want to embrace where I come from and turn towards it. I want to work alongside others on this journey. Thank you so much for the work that you have done and for sharing it with an open heart. This book has opened my mind & my heart. Bless you both for giving me the understanding & awareness I have been looking for.

I've read it and would recommend it to anyone who wants a book that is straight talking, helps you think about the way you think about things too. It came at a good time for me and I think its definitely a book that you could go back to time and time again.
