Review:Really enjoyed listening to this it helps you get a handle on what is important and what is not. I am new to meditating so i'm not ready for the visualization guided meditation but thats just me. Would still recommend the book. Read more

Review:It's positive but not realistic advice. Things need to be felt. Saying this is for my for my benefit and smiling through pain is not healing anything. At the end he says to start with small things, because if you apply his philosophy to big things it doesn't make sense. Growing from a situation or making the best out of a situation is one thing, but saying everything that happens is the best possible thing that could happen doesn't sit well with me. Somethings but not everything. Read more

Review:I've purchased this book now 5 times and have given it away to people in need of clear decisions about their child rearing. It is insightful and right on the money no matter what you may be going through. I hope this is the one I get to keep, but if someone is having a question, I will simply purchase another. Read more

Review:I was very disappointed with this book because it is primarily a treatise on the life of the Buddha, almost in mind-numbing detail, rather than a detailed treatment of why the author has gotten to the particular stage that he has in his spiritual development. The title of the book is "Confession of a Buddhist Atheist" but very little is devoted to that topic. Most of the book discusses facts surrounding the buddha's life, much of which I found to be superfluous and quite frankly boring. But t... Read more

Review:El libro da mucho que pensar y te hace cuestionar las cosas que realmente son importantes en la vida, ademas de relativizar las ansias de poseer cosas materiales que aveces hemos sentido. Tambien es práctico y interesante. Lo recomiendo. Read more

Review:One of the best books I've ever read. It was difficult for me to finish only because it's so profound. Every few pages I had to stop and spend a few days thinking about what I'd just read. I feel like buying this book for everyone I know. Buy it for yourself; you won't regret it. Read more

Review:I bought 5 books to give as presents. I felt this book truly gave me peace and reminded me to slow my daily pace and smell the roses, so to speak. A lovely book. To be read in small bits and thought about. I use it as a meditation tool. Read more

Review:I've looked through some of the other reviews of this book here on this website before reading the book. I was surprised by the negative comments about the author (Dr. Howard Cutler)! But, as I read further into the book, I began to understand why.

I do feel that the author did us a service by collecting the words of the Dalai Lama. The author's pointed questions provided good launch points for responses. Also, the collection of the Dalai Lama's words from his seminars in Arizona were als... Read more

Review:Read this Book! It truly can change your life!

I just loved the message in this book and I hope many others will get a copy. It's a wonderful thing to realize that our thoughts hold so much power for positive change and that we DO have a choice in what we draw to us and the people in our lives. I think we humans have built-in 'forgetters' that we can alter our attitudes/thoughts/action; I know it was a good reminder for me. Another great thing about this book is that I believe it could be... Read more

Review:Life is the ultimate question that goes unanswered. Riding the wave of life can be thrilling if you let go of fear, accept adversity, learn from mistakes and be thankful for the ride. Peace can be found in books such as this that remind you of the journey we are all on. Enjoy some time on the crest of the wave, it provides a great view of what is. Read more
