This review is from: Bounce Off The Walls Land On Your Feet: How to Morph Havoc and Hassles into Harmony and Happiness (Paperback)

On the recommendation of a respected friend, I ordered this book.

Well, first and foremost, I was taken by Ms. Ross's salt-of-the-earth wisdom and power. Her words come from a place of deep knowing and authenticity, and I knew from the first page I was in trusted company.

When I read her book, I feel as if I am spending time with a brilliant, quirky teacher: the stories and insights spill out willy-nilly. There is a stream of consciousness quality to her writing that I love... and I sit here, ready with an imaginary catcher's mitt, to collect as many gems as I can. She never strays into what I would call "hooey-booey" esoteric gook. I appreciate that.

Ross offers innumerable techniques - simple and effective - to use when one is in a bind. So I keep this book handy as a reference. WIthout fail, it gives me that shift in perspective or hit of inspiration I need to push me through to the other side of an issue. At one point in the book, she speaks about how beneficial it can be to just hit on a drum. I never would have thought of that - but you know, when I'm feeling blue or anxious, it works! See - so simple.

I recommend this book to so many people. When you come to those moments in life and wonder "what do I do now?" you might well find the answer in this book, and it won't be the answer you expected. How refreshing. This book is my secret silver bullet.

Merrie Lynn Ross has delivered us an important book. While we have heard it all before, we need reminders. This book is a fun, easy read. We get in our way all the time but through some of the helpful suggestions we can turn on the switch to a more positive and enlightened perspective. Today's world is full of constant reminders of suffering, loss and devastation. We are far more effective as parents, teachers, leaders, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, lovers, friends and whatever role we find ourselves in if we put a positive and wise spin on our approach to life. Thank you for this terrific book! I wish you all success with it.

The timing was perfect for her wonderful message in all it's jouful variations to enter my life and assist me with my own 'landing'..She artfully weaves the wisdom of the ages with the generosity of her personal journey in a meld of encouragement and direction that moves one without effort..i used it as an oracle from the moment i held it in my hands and found it to be an ideal "Delphi"..it's like perusing a spiritual and self actualizing cornucopia..laden with riches.To say i enjoyed it immensely and recommend it to any one on the evolutionary path is an understatement! if ever there's a fire in my home this book will join my jewelery in the emergency bag..my heart is sincerely lighter after traveling on her merrie way..blessings merrie lynn..
