  <default_description>Right now, hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are playing &quot;the Business Game&quot;, and doing their best to &quot;win&quot;. Some play as employees, others as owners, and at various levels in between. Yet despite the best of intentions, the following of the &quot;best of the best&quot; advice, and the investment of tremendous amounts of time, energy and money, every single player will ultimately fail to &quot;win&quot; the business game- if they play according to The Big Lie.    &lt;p&gt;    As employees, they'll give generously of their time, energy and effort, perhaps over years or decades, only to be fired when new management steps in, down-sized during tough times, hit a &quot;glass ceiling&quot; in their advancement, see associates leapfrog past them on their rise up the corporate ladder, etc.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;    As owners, they'll fail in the traditional business sense, meaning closing their doors, going out of business, etc. --OR they'll keep their doors open, but despite tremendous investments of time, energy and effort, they'll experience tremendous struggle and stress and barely be able to squeeze out a decent &quot;living&quot; from the business, thus living and working under severe limits and restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;    As owners, they'll succeed in the traditional business sense, in a small, big, or HUGE way, meaning creating a profitable business, making a good &quot;living&quot;, building wealth, and living a comfortable or opulent lifestyle, but paying a huge price for their succes in the form of unhappiness, stress, anxiety, pain, disillusionment, health issues, relationship issues, lack of free time, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The basic model of this book--that our apparent experience in this world is a holographic projection from another dimension of our selves--maps fairly well onto the claims of A Course in Miracles.

    <body><![CDATA[All the &quot;busting Loose&quot; series (Busting Loose from the Money Game:, etc) have pretty much the same message -- you can struggle and suffer, or just lie back and enjoy the ride. Control is an illusion with painful consequences. Facing and diving into the 'painful' things that occur, that pus...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65915488">more...</a>]]></body>
