Title: Zero Limits Authors: Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len Book Review: This inspiring book is cowritten by Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len.

What do you think when you look at the title "Zero Limits?" You might have no clues at all, but when you read it you might find that this is actually a simple, easy-read book. It begins with the author's quest. Like all of us, we might have questions while we are encountering something new especially something which sounds too good to be true. Yes, this book reveals a power which is within you; it awaits to be discovered not by others, but by you, yourself. The amazing part is you can use a few magic sentences. They are truly simple and powerful. So why not begin your own quest by following the authors and find a better life for yours...
