More
commentary from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) Benjamin
Franklin Award Judges:
“This short, sweet book is like a long conversation with your really
smart best friend. The writing style is casual and funny and very
well-informed.”
“I found this to be a very informative and uplifting book. It seems,
perhaps at first glance, a very simplified guide to life. However, the personal
insights shared, the failures and successes, the tips on how to find the
positive and even the recipes all add to make this a very good workbook for
living.”
“This book delves into the common areas of psychology and
spirituality, drawing cautiously from resources of both. The author’s viewpoint
is open-minded about all perspectives in these areas, in fact, the importance
of being open to all ideas is one of the themes of this book which is consistently
addressed. It is a particularly timely topic right now.”
