Everyday You: Create Your Day with Joy and Mindfulness [Hardcover]

Eric Maisel (Author), Daniel Talbott (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2007

Eric Maisel has written more than thirty books to help people live more creative lives despite the difficulties our society throws in our path. In Everyday You, Maisel takes a fresh and innovative approach to inspire all who would live a mindful, joyful life, grounded and connected to their work, their families, their own spirit.

Everyday You is an inspirational gift book with a twist--it is aimed at putting an idea into action for a richer life. For example, in "Grow connected by valuing connection," we are invited to write a list of reasons to strengthen connections with people in our lives. The very act of writing this list can help strengthen our connections. "Take the time to make a list that impresses you and convinces you of the value of connection in your life," Maisel encourages.

Ninety entries in all make this a book to savor through a season and beyond. Deep and rich enough to dip into over and over again, this beautiful and inspiring bedside or coffee-table book is an ideal gift for any occasion.

* Inspiring thoughts, activities, and meditations, accompanied by original 4-color photos

I've enjoyed several of Eric's other books, but, aside from the lovely design and engaging photos, was disappointed by the writing. Feels like it was a quick effort to just get another book out on the market. I think I could have written this one. And in short order. Sorry, but not my fave. Maybe the fact that it arrived at the same time I received "The Power of Now" is a factor. Tough competition there. I had just hoped for more depth of thought. More inspiration. MORE.

What a disappointment! Bad photography, depressing at times. The text is completely banale. Nothing new, nothing inspiring there. I am only keeping the book because the return fees are high. I'll probably give it to someone as a gift, but it won't be a close friend. Sorry.
