Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 2010 | ISBN-10: 0960255206 | ISBN-13: 978-0960255207 | Edition: 1ST

"The best self-help book on the market!" is the summation for all of the five star ratings on Amazon. Although countless self-help books have been written, none have been able to translate psychological theory into practical, day-to-day application as well as this one does. By integrating Eastern and Western philosophy with science and religion, Napkin Notes provides a concise, easy-to-read guide for living. Dr. Durst promotes the concept that we are 100% responsible for everything in our experience and for our reactions to life's events. This focus provides not only increased knowledge, but also the impetus to change. In so doing, it directs us to greater insight, satisfaction and fulfillment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd written it, September 26, 2004

M. McPhillips "single-handedly keeping Amazon... (Rumsey Island, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Napkin Notes: On the Art of Living (Paperback)

Whenever I get ornery with myself I think about or reread this book. I can't tell you how many times I threw it across the room when first reading it; I didn't want its truths to be true but I couldn't get away from or counter them. I wish I'd had this book as a teenager or college student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical self-help book, June 7, 2000

Barbara Flynn (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Napkin Notes: On the Art of Living (Paperback)

This book has saved me on many occasions. I never want to be without it! Durst makes such incredible sense, that you can literally open to any page and be inspired. The format is so entertaining and readable, I find myself returning whenever I need a reality check. I have given this book as a gift many times, always to rave reviews.
