Rating: Summary: Beyond any self-help book Review: I wish everyone would read this book and the world would be a much better place! This book is so inspiring for the person with a negative outlook on life. I read this book and wanted to invest more time in bettering my relations with people who are important in my life, and it gave me a different outlook on the importance and the impact I can make on other peoples lives. To give more of myself in relations with everyone. It is so well written, I think Harold Kushner has a gift from God that he is sharing all his insight with us. Everything he says, is beneficial to anyones belief. Very, very inspiring I am buying it for all my friends and family to read.
Rating: Summary: Excellent thought-provoking material for thoughtful people Review: Rabbi Kushner does an excellent job of putting a new light on life at 50. Male or female, Jew or Christian, or anything else, the insights offered here apply to us all. We all were taught. We all learned. This book evaluates what we came away with.
Rating: Summary: The Author Gets a 5, The Publisher Gets a 1 Review: The author takes you on a journey with Ecclesiastes to try to find the meaning of life. I will not spoil the outcome for you, but it is an outcome that many people who are monotheistic, agnostic or atheist eventually discover as did Ecclesiastes. The answer is applicable for any generation.Although written by a Rabbi, the wisdom in this book is applicable to anyone of any belief. Although I don't believe that this is Kushner's most popular book, it just might be his best. He actually ends up answering several questions rather than just THE ONE - this is exceptional work. As well written as the book was, the quality of the printed book was awful. It looked like the printer was short on ink and many pages (not just 2 or 3) were tough to read primarily at the edges. Since I generally rate a book based upon the author's work, I will give it five stars and hope that the poor quality print of the book I had is an isolated incident.
Rating: Summary: Point well missed Review: This book contains a few good and encouraging points about life and comments on familiar stories. The author assumes that everyone is worried about dying and not leaving anything behind. He does accurately describe the human condition in other respects, the sadness that goes along with desires or expectations that are unfullfilled by virtue of being unrealistic. However, positive human influences he attributes to God. Negative human influences he attributes to flukes of intelligence. He then concludes life is short. Entertaining? Yes, but about as insightful as a pack of fortune cookies.
