Rating: Summary: Loved it so much, I bought copies for my friends! Review: This book focuses on helping readers slow down by encouraging them to stop trying to control every aspect of their lives (which we all know is impossible anyway). The book is an extremely quick read, that has inspirational passages (without being too hokey) that readers will refer to again and again. Since I read this book (for the first time) last year, I have bought 3 other copies to give to friends. I couldn't bear the thought of lending them mine!
Rating: Summary: Dreamrunning your way through life Review: This book is an easy read that allows us to then to face life facts with instant solutions! For example, change is inevitable and increased so we must seek ways to deal with this inevitability. The author points out that for starters, we must detach ourselves from the outcome; that is, be happy doing as opposed to only when you are done. When you enter the present, you expand time; Kant also espoused this as the author points out. Stop expecting. Let events in life flow through you; all we can control is our response. Identify with your life force, your Spirit; we must develop new ways of knowing and being. This book is written by a runner who continues to run and who seeks to realize his human potential and is happier because of this. (Hence the subtitle A Dreamrunner's Guide) The author provides some specific tips in particular mindsets for running; I'm more of a sprinter myself but this book makes me think I can also haul the longer distance!
