BOOK REVIEW by Swanjoy
Hello, I saw your name on the website and it occurred to me that you are doing just what is being talked about in a new book I just read called Losing the Weight of the World. I met the authors at a booksigning/talk and now this book has had a big impact on me, a very new seeker. I'm so enthused that I'm helping them promote it by giving my time for free. Here is a copy of a flyer that I got with the book.
LOSING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
Spirituality Made Simple by Kramer
QUOTES FROM EXPERTS
A great collection of ancient wisdom presented in a clear, intelligent and moving style, making it useful in modern life. I give it my highest rating...
Bernie S. Siegel, MD author, Love, Medicine and Miracles
A wonderfully intelligent, clear, comprehensive guide to living a wise, balanced and compassionate life. LOSING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD delivers complex ideas in a highly absorbable, user-friendly way, and is equally valuable for new seekers on the path or long time travelers.
Belleruth Naparstek author, Staying Well with Guided Imagery
In LOSING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD, Jonathan and Diane Kramer integrate the knowledge and techniques of modern psychology with the teachings of the world's major religions, to show how ordinary people, busy with the demands of household and career, can live a richer, more meaningful, more joyful life. The authors' ten-part psychological and spiritual "diet" will nurture and nourish you personally and spiritually, whether you're a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Unitarian or follower of no specific religion at all.
Millions of people live their lives half-heartedly, bogged down by the burdens of everyday life. This psychological and spiritual "diet" offers a menu of choices that will help you to:
Feel relaxed and relieved, with a calmer, clearer mind Identify and handle painful emotions like, anger, self-criticism and guilt Find and experience your inherent basic goodness Discover your deepest meaning and mission in life Get the most out of everyday you're alive
