Life is "Duck Soup"-fun, easy, a piece of cake-when you can laugh at yourself and everything else. Swami Beyondananda, author of Driving Your Own Karma does away with all earnestness and doctrine of whatever stripe as he elaborates on his punny theories. The self-proclaimed leader of a FUNdamentalist Revival (accent on FUN), the Swami advocates putting levity over gravity, and offers seven ways to prevent Truth Decay. According to the Swami, the reason we are put in the material world is to get more material, and Nonjudgment Day is at hand. Although for most of us life is hardly easy, and can easily be hard, Swami says life can easily be easy and hardly be hard at all. "Am I serious?" asks the Swami. "Absolutely not!"

Quack up with the Swami!,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "www.realityshifters.com" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Duck Soup for the Soul : The Way of Living Louder and Laughing Longer (Paperback)
With just the right humorous spice and some very ducky spiritual stock, Swami Beyondananda (aka Steve Bhaerman) mixes up a batch of healing stories that build strong funny bones and remind us to increase the laugh-force on the planet. Each chapter is as funny as it is wise, as you can intuit from the Swami's advice that we can alter our own reality (and the reality of those around us) by Making Fools of ourselves, remembering to Tell-A-Vision, being Esteem-Generators, and Committing Random Acts of Comedy and Beautiful Nonsense. Have fun learning how to drive your own Karma... while making sure you don't run over anyone else's Dogma!

"Duck Soup" beats a Stew anytine!,

This review is from: Duck Soup for the Soul : The Way of Living Louder and Laughing Longer (Paperback)
I read this book a while back, but today I was reminded of its significance. When the drive-thru at my favorite fast-food restaurant was swamped with cars, when a large SUV drove the wrong way through the narrow driveway and when I ended up behind a boat festooned with a grass skirt, I remembered Steve's counsel that our purpose for being in this life is to gather comedy "material." My friend and I drove away laughing so hard we made strange snorting noises, could hardly catch our breath, and had to peek through our eyelashes to even see where we were going. If you do not think life is all that funny, then I recommend this book. Perhaps your "jestive system" is clogged and in need of treatment. You can find the needed remedy in "Duck Soup for the Soul."

This review is from: Duck Soup for the Soul : The Way of Living Louder and Laughing Longer (Paperback)
I whole-heartedly believe that laughter is good for the Soul. Well Swami Beyondananda knows how to get us to laugh at challenging situations & yes - at ourselves! It is hearty, laugh out loud, stomach ache funny. IT is one of the best gifts I have bought for myself & would gleefully share with others. Namaste!!!
