This light and breezy little daily meditation guide would be more aptly called a daily passing thought guide, but often has humorous or insightful little blurbs unlike the stuff seen anywhere else. It makes a nice counterpoint to weightier material, although the brief comments can have loads of mental mass if they catch you at the right moment in your recovery. As a regular user of five daily meditation guides (call me eager in recovery!) I wouldn't want this to be my only food for thought on any given day, but it's a great side-dish. I've bought it as a gift for others who might shirk from more ponderous volumes, and it's been well-received. There's a definite codependency flavor to most of the quotes and commentary. Worth checking out!

I have several daily meditations I read and will now include this in my morning readings. I need laughter and have a pretty good sense of humor. I don't take life too seriously, it is what it is and I except that if it isn't something I have no control over and can't change. Some of the things I can't control I find a lot of humor in. This book is awesome. I can relate so many of these thought provoking quirps and it's healthy humor that lightens the load of everyday living (for me). I just purchased several more for sponsees and friends. In my opinion it is good reading whether your in recovery or not.

I have a couple of her other meditation books and I thought this one would add new life to an never ending 12 step book. Laughter is good for wellness mentally and physically and this meditation book so far contains nothing to laugh about. It was disappointing.

I've had this book since it came out. I like it so much and it makes me look at the truth of recovery and our addictions in such a light that I've become my best joke. I like it so much that I've given it away a couple times a year and need to order another one or two. I keep it in the bathroom and even my non-recovering friends comment on it.
