This is one of my all time necessary readings. When the crisis hits, after your scream, holler, and cry: wash your face, have some juice and get cozy with this little book. My favorite quote goes, "Noone is coming to save you. You are your own salvation or your life is without merit. If you are waiting for someone to come along to save you, find a comfortable seat". Full of successful, right to the point reality checks!

This book has become my "bible" so to speak. I take it with me where ever I go. I thought I was more on the perfect side. This book has really humbled me. It has also changed the way I see the world and others around me. In the past week I have read this book twice. I promise that you will hi-lite a great portion of this book.

This was sent to me after my father was killed in an accident and it's been a saving grace. Its full of great advice even if the only difficult times you have is simply getting from Monday thru to Friday. My favorite is "The only reason you need for wanting to do something is because you want to".

This book is for everybody. We all need words of encouragement and David Viscott delivers. Every passage is something we as people can relate to everyday. When your down you can open this book to any page and find something to bring you right back up! Read a passage and take a few minutes to let it soak in and continue on with your day. My favorite,"What other people think of you is none of your business." Beautiful.

This book allows us to see ourselves as we really are, and to know that the truth is that we can handle just about anything if we face it honestly.

The purity and grace of the writing make the thoughts readily accessible.

I have often found help in this book, and have shared it with many people.

This book could be simply entitled, Finding Your Strength. I have bought at least 20 of these books and given them to friends. It's one that you can simply open to any page and find words that will be of help for that day. I haven't found a better gift for anyone under stress, or just needing a lift. Five stars squared.

I found this book about four years ago. I didn't realize what a treasure it would be. I've had months go by without ever thinking of it, then suddenly, I go in search of it. Now it stays in the drawer beside my bed. It's simple and wise and it never fails to set me back on my path. If I could recommend one book for someone to have on hand, "Finding Your Strength in Difficult Times" would be the one. If we all kept these ideas in our minds and hearts, certainly the world would be a far simpler place to navigate.

I would recommend this little book for anyone who wants to understand life and how to learn to live his or her life better. It is a very good starter for David Viscotts' books of which I started with "Emotionally Free" and now I have bought 5 of his books. This book is made up with short passages and so it is easy to read. Each passage has a short ending paragraph which serves like a prayer. Viscott writes in clarity and his insight into life enables him to write powerful and enlightening sentences that speak to hearts. His books help me a lot personally.

I agree with what everyone else has written. This book has become my steady companion. I randomly turn to a chapter and find it always speaks to where I am. While visiting my husband's grave I turned to "Accept Your Death". According to the book death is not an option so live life deliberately.

I thank David Viscott for writing this book. Is there a sequel?

This book is fantastic!! I have read it over and over again. I have also recommended it to numerous people. It's easy to read and understand. I keep it by my bedside and read a few chapters each night. I highly recommend it!
