One of the benefits of being human is that we can learn invaluable 'life lessons' from the experiences and examples of others. In "Moments of Being: Finding Your One Moment in Time", author Barrie Brett has compiled a 269-page compendium of 'reader friendly' true-life stories from a variety of leaders in the fields ranging from business to entertainment showcasing how critical decisions at particular and often unexpected moments dramatically influenced and significantly altered the very course of their lives. Inspired and inspiring, "Moments Of Being" is highly recommended reading and superb addition to community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections.

I surprised myself by enjoying "Moments of Being" as much as I did. The stories are not only moving but have a resounding pertinence to the average person's daily life. The book reminds us that we are all presented with "moments" that can turn our lives around for the better and that recognizing these opportunities is within all our capabilities.

I loved this book! Moments of Being looks into the lives of such a diverse group of people ranging from well know celebrities to folks like me. I gained an appreciation of how people and situations present themselves in our lives and we don't always realize when an opportunity for change presents itself? I think after reading "Moments" I'm now more sensitized and hopefully, will be more situationally aware to respond differently in the future. I think it would make a great gift for any high school or college graduate in addition to adults of any age!

Moments of Being: Finding Your One Moment in Time is truly an inspiring book. I found it a fascinating journey through various peoples lives and interesting desciption of the moment that changed their lives forever.
It was a difficult book to put down. I highly recommend this book and feel this would be a good selection for a book club.
