101 Exercises for the Soul: "A Divine Workout Plan for Body, Mind, and Spirit" By Dr. Bernie Siegel
is another excellent book by this award-winning, best-selling author. Siegel reminds us that exercising our soul is as important as exercising our bodies, yet most of us forget or don't know how to do this. It does not require meditating on top of a mountain, or going on a silent retreat, or even attending church, but it does require attention and regular mindfulness. And exercising your soul yields tremendous rewards of living and loving with enthusiasm and joy. In simple exercises Dr. Siegel suggest things you may never have thought to be nurturing your soul and increasing your deep happiness. Such things as keeping your baby picture nearby to admire and appreciate, adopting a pet and playing with it every day, keeping a dream journal, creating a personal altar in your home, facing the fear that has always hindered you and experiencing and embracing it (even doing a daring sport), taking fun or beautiful photographs, or breaking out of your daily rut and doing something fun and unusual. These are some of the simple but joyful things Siegel suggests and then tells how you are nurturing your soul and exercising it in doing these. This is a little book which can be opened to any page and savored, trying the things that appeal to you and leaving the others for someone else. We highly recommend keeping this book by your bed and savoring it like chocolate for your soul by trying one exercise each day.

You can open this book to any page and find a motivating and soul refreshing exercise that is simple to do and fulfilling to accomplish. Thank you Dr. Siegel for this helpful and heart-touching book.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. This book is simultaneously simple and profound. A recommended read for anyone who wants to be inspired. Dr. Siegel helps his readers see the "big picture."

Great little book that holds enormous wisdom and suggestions to enrich and strengthen your life.

If you haven't discovered Bernie Siegel, you're missing out on a real pleasure. Think of him as a coach who works on your mind, body and spirit all at the same time.

Siegel's nationally known work on the relationship between these three factors unfolded mainly after he retired from his practices in medicine and pediatric surgery in 1989. For years as a physician, he had seen the healing power that stems from active, creative engagement by patients in their own healing process. That awareness now has led to more than a half-dozen popular books.

"101 Exercises for the Soul" is classic Siegel, gathering a long list of tried-and-true motivational techniques, then organizing them into an inspirational plan that readers can follow at their own pace. Quite simply, the world's a better place for many people because Bernie Siegel's still sharing his wisdom in new forms like this book.

ALL OF HIS BOOKS, CD'S, AND CASSETTES ARE GREAT. THEY ARE USEFUL FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CANCER PATIENTS, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE GIVEN THEM AS GIFTS TO MANY CANCER PATIENTS.

Love the positive affirmations in this book. I only just started reading this but I feel it will be the type of mindfulness that everyone needs.
