". . . Worry? Guilt? Money? Each page ("Prescription) of this book has a theme. 'Cooperation' (Prescription #101). for example, talks about what humankind could achieve if we worked together. 'Sunset' (Prescription #187) suggests that all worries and troubles should be released at the end of the day. Each reading begins with a quote pertinent to the title theme, followed by a discussion of the topic. The page ends with a positive "Soulution of the Day."
365 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE SOUL can be read day-by-day, or opened at random for an immediate dose of comfort and encouragement. As Dr. Siegel has prescribed: "Read two pages -- and call me in the morning."

A wonderful way to start or end any day. I felt uplifted and loved the hearfelt humor. The author's wisdom and kindness make a good read!

The presentation is easy to read and understand. It covers
advice aimed at living life to the fullest. Read this work

right time. Samples of Dr. Siegel's witicisms are:
o Laughter is the most beautiful exertion.

>all< of Dr. Bernie S. Siegel's books and cd, are >excellent< . you will be glad you bought them.

What a wonderful soul inspiring book. It perpetuates the tenacity and perserverance that is part of the woman in all of us. The book, Purposefully Made by I. Fountaine Allen is also a must read.

This is the greatest book, it has such incredible inspiration. I love all of Dr Siegel's book, but I find myself picking this one up so often. Whenever I need a pickup or just a little insight, I just let it fall open to whatever page and there it is. I could not get thru a week without it now. I cannot recommend it enough.

Lovely book with good quotes and nice thoughts. A friend bought it for her seriously ill mother to read in hospital and thumbing through it I saw quite a few quotes that resonated with me so I ordered it too. It's a daily reading book, so you dip in and dip out, and it works beautifully on that level.

Edited to add that it's definitely got a religious aspect which wasn't clear to me initially. This has a mainstream Christian feel to some of the commentary.

This was a little disappointing. I read it from time to time, for about a year, but I was never really inspired. I'll keep looking for another inspirational book.

We've used a daily reader for a couple of years now, reading aloud over breakfast, and enjoy the ritual as well as the message. Bernie Siegel's book includes a brief quotation from a wide variety of individuals -- Jimi Hendrix to Ram Dass, for instance -- and a topic for each day. Brief messages, often personal, expound on the theme, and each ends with a "Soulution of the Day." It's not grounded in Christianity or any other major religion, but rather in a universal spirituality that relates to creation and to each other.

It's a good way to begin each day.
