This is an extraordinary book - a must read for everyone at this most critical time. Not one for tears, I found myself crying, then laughing and always with a growing feeling of hope that we as humans can turn things around. Marc's message is simple, "Love each other, love the planet; love madly, with no fear, without restraint." Bravo.

Marc Ian Barasch's books are some of the most absorbing and exciting works of "spiritual journalism" you will find. With one foot in the realm of miracles and mythic stories of healing and compassion, and with the other firmly planted in the healthy skepticism of the Western scientific mind, Barasch weaves an always inspiring yet always believable story of our ultimate interconnection with all of life.

Barasch's vocabulary is glacially vast. He guides the reader with creative examples from the hilarious minutea of everyday life. He has wonderful, Sedaris-like humor, and a unique lyrical ear for the sound of words. Barasch is simply one of the greatest literary voices of our new century.

An update of Field Notes on the Compassionate Life, this is an absolutely amazing book that can change your life. Enjoy with great peace and enthusiasm.

Personal growth and spirituality blend in a fine survey of kindness and compassion in THE COMPASSIONATE LIFE: WALKING THE PATH OF KINDNESS. From what can be learned from Buddhist monks and emphatic apes to case histories of individuals who showed great compassion against all odds - even murder and death - THE COMPASSIONATE LIFE is an outstanding pick for any community library collection or personal reading list.

An expose on this journey called life and how we can enhance it through simple acts of kindness and compassion. Written in an easy style. A good book to reflect on.

Excellent book! As a Union Representative in a Federal Agency I find that we need more compassion in the workplace. When you treat people with respect they will work harder for you and will be happier in their own work! I find this to be true whether manager to employee or employee to manager.

The delivery of this book was very fast. Under a week. The book came in like new condition.
