Rating: Summary: Highly motivating! Review: A great book - full of insightful suggestions to change your life for the better. If you can get by the corny story line and cheesy dialouge, you'll find many ways to lead a more fulfilling and less stressful life. I've read it twice!

Rating: Summary: ENCHANTING FABLE Review: An enchanting fable, that teaches life lessons which are priceless. Enormously entertaining as well. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY.
Rating: Summary: old wine in a new bottle Review: Author has tried to use a different approach of presenting India's age old principles of happy living. He has constructed a Fable to say the same often repeated principles of Himalayan sages. The "Fable" aproach may appear fabulous. But the principles are the same old ones which many of us have heard umpteem number of times. However, no new method or technique is given for weaving these principles into the fabric of our fast paced life.I am an Indian and I know from my experience that even people in India where the life has a little less speed than in the West, find it very difficult to implement these principles in their lives. A direct communion with an enlightend sage is the best way to really learn these principles. All said, one can not deny the fact that the book could be inspiring to many readers who can not immediately leave their earthly lives to go to Himalaya. In a way the book is a first step towards higher learnings. With the limited intention of getting some inspiration for understanding of higher principles of life, one can surely read this book.

Rating: Summary: Read More and Be Inspired By these Great Books!!! Review: Can't get enough of visionary fiction? Neither can I! These are just a few titles that will inspire you: The Celestine Prophecy (James Redfield) ; The Butterfly (Jay Singh); The Monk who sold his Ferrari (Robin Sharma) ; The Alchemist (Paulo Coehlo); Chasing Rumi (Roger Housden). My favorite is by far and away THE ALCHEMIST! Go ahead...be inspired. Happy reading. Donald S. Buckland.
Rating: Summary: Easily forgettable but includes great tips on living well. Review: I can't really remember what this book tought after 6-7 months. I remember some of the important stuffs like embracing the precense, having purpose, meditations....etc. However, it doesn't help too much...You can find these kind of teachings on any self-help books. I would recommend books by famous authors such as Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Lao Tzu, Clement, Og mandino, Dr.Joseph murphy and David Schwartz....etc and many more. If you really feel like reading this book, it's best to borrow it from the library and read it in few days. it's not long at all.. and story telling format helps readers to read it in less than 7-8 hours. I don't have any favorite books right now but I really liked Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" translated by Brian walker or Gia-fu Feng. Good luck with further readings.
