Book Description

April 15, 2008
Spiritual awakenings, whether quiet and subtle or dramatic and breathtaking, are deeply personal events. More than half of us have undergone a spiritual transformation, each unique and life-changing. We may only have a moment or two to act or we may have a few months to sort things out. We may curse the gods or sink to our knees in gratitude. Th e circumstances vary but two things are certain. One, our life is about to change. And two, it's a day we will not soon forget.

Sixty Seconds is an uplifting collection of intimate, heartfelt stories from prominent people who graciously share their personal experiences with the profound. Their moving, life-altering interviews powerfully illustrate that sacred moments of illumination and insight are available to us all.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In the twinkling of a moment, consciousness can shift the axis of a lifetime. Listen deeply to the refl ections and stories of visionary leaders and behold the miracles in your own life. Inspiring and curious, Sixty Seconds reminds us to awaken our own many levels of reality." -- Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect, Music & Miracles, and The Harmony of Health

"Many of our most profound life changes happen in the blink of an eye though we don't always recognize them. To recognize them is to be blessed with profound new awareness for a fresh direction in our lives. Th e stories in this book each off er their own magic, perhaps teaching us to open our eyes to life's greatest lessons." -- Hal Zina Bennett, author of The Lens of Perception

"Life is made up of a series of moments, moments that often fly by without notice, vaporizing into the past. And yet, every once in a while, an experience seems to make time stand still. A mere moment has such a profound effect upon our lives that we are changed forever. Those moments are the ones we remember, reflect on, and carry with us. Phil Bolsta has put together a beautiful collection of just such moments, shared by some of the most accomplished and respected teachers of our time. This book, and the moving stories contained in its pages, is absolutely awesome. I love it!" -- Lisa Marie Coffey, author of What's Your Dosha, Baby?

"Wow! and double wow!! is what this remarkable book is! If you want to have an exclamation mark in your understanding of our world by some of the best living thinkers, teachers, speakers, leaders, and contributors to it...read this book now. You will thank me in your prayers for recommending it." -- Mark Victor Hansen, cocreator of New York Times bestselling series Chicken Soup for the Soul®, coauthor of Cracking the Millionaire Code and The One Minute Millionaire

"Phil Bolsta has captured the essence of life-changing and transformative moments from our culture's vision holders. This is a mustread for everyone who knows that life is a series of life-changing moments called the present." -- Craig Neal, cofounder of Heartland Inc., former publisher of Utne Reader

5.0 out of 5 stars 'It's a Quiet Thing' July 20, 2008
Format:Hardcover
In a gentle, quiet Foreword Caroline Myss serves as a guide to the reader who may pick up this small but significant book with her thoughts that 'the most meaningful events that have shaped our lives have, by far, been the smallest and the subtlest.' That introduction serves Phil Bolsta's SIXTY SECONDS: ONE MOMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING well for it provides the thread that ties these 45 collected moments shared by a wide variety of thinking people into a memorable, valuable reminder that life as we are living it is precious, that no matter how raw times become or challenging events can be, there is that single moment that can change our vision if only we are vulnerable and sensitive to notice.

Bolsta introduces each section of this book (1. Glimpses into the Unknown: life-and-death moments; mysterious moments 2. Living Life: heartbreaking moments; sacred moments 3. Insightful Incidents: life-altering moments, moments of enlightenment) with brief synopses of his own philosophy and then gives a brief background for each of the highly regarded people who agreed to share their particular moments that changed their lives. As the section divisions suggest these 'moments' can be the result of encountering trauma, fear, near death episodes, or simply those happenstance frozen moments in time where the words or deeds of strangely appropriate individuals arrested the attention of the writer and quietly but inexplicably altered the path or journey through this life.

For some readers this collection of moments may feel too grounded in Western religious explanations. But the experiences shared by these 45 'changed people' cannot help but raise our awareness of the 'spiritual' presence that accompanies these changes - and that 'spiritual presence' can be called by any name for any preference. The messages are still poignant and reassuring in our lives that at times seem to lack meaning. Grady Harp, July 08

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharing Intimate moments - May 1, 2008
Format:Kindle Edition
I couldn't put this book down when I started reading it. SIXTY SECONDS: ONE MOMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING tells us very inspirational moments of many well known individuals. - forty five to be exact. It includes personal stories from people of different walks of life, such as physicians, authors of well known books, film producers, sports legends, educators, philosophers, etc. There are intimate stories from Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Dr. Christine Northrup, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss , Dr. Larry Dossy, Dr. Dean Ornish , and Dr. Bernie Siegel - just to name a few.

Reading about so many people who have had huge life-changing events makes me feel like I can handle anything that comes my way. Things really do happen for a reason! I've never understood why some people don't believe in an afterlife - or why they don't see the miracles that happen each and every day. The stories in this book have actually happened!

I can't imagine the time and effort expended in gathering all of the stories, putting it in a book format, getting it published and getting the word out to the public. I thank Phil Bolsta, Caroline Myss, and all the many people involved in this wonderful book.

Format:Hardcover
This is a book of stories, rather like "Chicken Soup for the Soul" where people share their personal experiences who their lives or the lives of people around them changed in literally the blink of an eye. Authors include Wayne Dyer, Dean Ornish, Marilyn Diamond, and Deepak Chopra.

But my favorite story was from a hairdresser that had a client come in between her usual times for a styling. When the hair stylist asked about any special occasion, the client said "Oh, I just want to look and feel good tonight." After a scalp massage, a haircut and a lot of laughing and sharing, the client left. And then had her sister check her into a mental health facility, because the reason she was getting her hair done was because she was going to commit suicide that night, and she wanted to look good at her funeral. How sobering! By being fun, entertaining, caring and "there" for his client, the stylist actually saved her life.

The other story I loved is one of a doctor who volunteered for a spate in Nigeria. While there, he did a risky procedure to remove fluid around the heart of a young farmer. After some touch-and-go moments, the procedure was a success. When the doctor came back later to see his patient, the farmer said the most extraordinary thing: "I get the sense you are wondering why you came here." --How did he know, thought the doctor. "I have an answer for you" went on the farmer, "You came here for one reason. You came here for me." The doctor realized he was there, anywhere, to help ONE PERSON AT A TIME. After he had gotten over a very grandiose viewpoint of his own importance, the farmer set down the significance of what he was doing. Helping one other person, one at a time. Very profound.

This is a terrific book about life's purpose and our place in it. A very inspiring book to read and I recommend it highly.
