From Booklist

Lessons on keeping an open heart from the author of Many Roads, One Journey. If, as the author says, "Joy comes from spontaneity and going where the spirit leads us," then why do readers need the other 100 commandments set down here? Perhaps because they will find solace in these calm-inducing, self-esteem-boosting suggestions and learn from the anecdotes of how others have rallied from their follies. Denise Perry Donavin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Finding Joy: 101 Ways to Free Your Spirit and Dance with Life (Paperback)

Charlotte Davis Kasl, has hit the nail on the head! Want to change your life for the better? Want to really enjoy your days and learn to get through the rough ones? This book can help. She has thought of everything from finances, to love, to kids to your entire outlook on life. The sections are broken into 101 mini topics explained through anecdotes and therapy techniques. She uses teqhniques from many cultures and religions without pushing any religion on you. Easy to read and comprhend. Read a section a day (If you can put it down afer just one!) and you will feel the difference as you internalise the beauty of true Joy in your life. (Can you tell this is my favorite book?)
