Review:I expected this book to have a little more structure in building and executing an argument but it does not do that. It instructs the reader to be passionate, tell a powerful story, and speak from the heart. This all makes sense but I was looking for a little more practical advice. There are some good segments but in many chapters I found myself wondering if what was written was the author's stream of consciousness at that point in time. 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 had a hard time following this even though I enjoy hearing these arguments. In my opinion the author crammed 20 pages of writing into 75 pages. I admittedly didn't (couldn't) read the second half except for sections that looked interesting to me. I have no doubt that this is a well written argument but it just did not appeal to me.

Review:This book undermines extreme religious fundamentalism, and in doing so, Smith has an easy ride. It deserves 5 stars because Smith makes such a strong and worthy case against the narrow and intolerant attitudes and perspectives of fundamentalism. Yet undermining extreme fundamentalism and Biblical literalism, is by no mean the same as undermining the deeper Spirit and message of Christianity.
Smith comes nowhere near achieving this, and as it happens, Smith's perspective, attitudes and tone ar... Read more

Review:A million ways to say the same thing in a very small book. If you need to have something beat into your head over and over before you get the concept, this is the book for you. Basically, just be mindful.- of others, their energy, yourself and your energy. Be aware of toxic communication both ways. Read more

Review:Just fantastic. I felt like my brain was being elevated simply by reading these glorious words. The attached CD really is a nice addition to the book - I listen to it during my commute to work and it makes me cry! That is how beautiful Morihei Ueshiba's thoughts are!! 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:If you are a seeker of God's truth and believe all that is written in the bible, then read this. But If you are afraid to find out you have been wrong in your believe all your Christian life, then, this book is not for you. Let me just remind you that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but He has clearly stipulated that the truth shall set you free, and you shall be free indeed!
Wonderful book specially for those who want to understand clearly the Sovereignty of God in Salvation.

Review:This book has given a metaphorical weight set to my brain. I had been slogging along like a zombie not realizing my life could be so much better with just a few conscious mental tweaks and improvements. Thank you to everyone involved in getting this book written and published. My life and mood are so much better now that I've put these methods into practice. Read more

Review:Bought the kindle version when it first came out, finished it, and now have purchased the paperback as well so I can display it on my bookshelf. Extremely useful information and is an intro to arguments, discussion, and philosophy. As a first stepping stone to introduce the public into the sort of logic and reasoning that has been removed from public education in the US. It is not an end all be all, and by no means was it ever intended to be. It is merely a good first step that can hopefully pro... Read more
