Get Weird presents a new language, Perception Language, making a unique contribution to the field of personal development--possibly the most significant advancement in human consciousness since the days of Freud. Use the simple and profound language tools in this book and you will soon discover a perspective that transforms your internal life and relationships in remarkable and unexpected ways.Mike Bundrant, Publisher of Healthy Times and radio talk show host of Mental Health Exposed, Murrieta, California Live Conscious is a revolutionary approach to dealing with the age-old challenge of effectively communicating with others. Get Weird has positively transformed my practice of medicine by deepening my understanding of successful patient-doctor dynamics and how to optimize this in successful treatment outcomes. I highly recommend this book for anyone desiring a radical shift in communication and learning how to take responsibility for their life. Michael Amster, M.D., Medical Director, Northbay Center for Pain Management, Davis, CaliforniaVarious schools of psychology have talked for a long time about taking personal responsibility for one's feelings and for one's life. Yet when psychotherapy is actually practiced, so much emphasis is placed on the exploration of one's feeling as the path towards freedom from one's conditioning that the client doesn't really learn to take the next step in relationship to feelings--to observe and truly own one's reality as just your own. Our everyday language allows us to continue to project responsibility of our feelings onto others--'he makes me mad' or 'it angered me'--keeping us in the passive role. Perception Language, as taught by Jake and Hannah Eagle, offers a communication practice and a life perspective that truly liberates us from the tyranny of taking responsibility of other's feelings and from the burden of staying stuck in our own feelings as well. They offer a simple and powerfully effective language style woven into a deep understanding of human development that allows us to observe and move through long standing feelings, making room for joy, play and love.Mary Waldner, Chairman & Founder, Mary's Gone Crackers, Gridley, CA As a cancer survivor, reading Get Weird, then attending the Live Conscious retreat, and learning to use Perception Language facilitated my healing process and personal growth in the most challenging moments that life presents.Cecilia Biglieri, Mental Health Counselor, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Author Information

Jake Eagle was a licensed psychotherapist in private practice for twenty-five years. In addition to being an award winning author, in the 1990's he was one of the first people to introduce Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to audiences in Japan. Early in his career he focused on brief therapy, but over time his emphasis shifted and his work focused more on existential issues-helping people find meaning and purpose, reduce anxiety associated with being alone and living in an uncertain world. In 2017, Jake and his wife, Hannah, moved from Santa Fe, NM, to the Big Island of Hawaii where they now reside. They continue to offer retreats for individuals, couples, and small groups at beautiful locations around the world.
