Strength In The Storm by Eknath Easwaran is an unusually insightful collection of philosophical perception and societal interpretation of the everyday tedium encountered in the course of ordinary daily life. Introducing readers to an uncompromisingly conceptual and helpful system of ideals and coping techniques, Strength In The Storm astutely guides its readers through life's universal issues as they present themselves. Strength In The Storm is especially recommended reading for those who are searching for an instructive and "user friendly" guide for seeking happiness and obtaining contentment, as well as those who find themselves chronically unhappy with their daily struggle with situational stresses, relationships, or the seeming indifference of the world around them.

I purchased this book as a requirement for a class. After reading it I recommended it to several friends. Easwaran presents challanges to a person in changing there life by learning to slow down. There is something for everyone in this book whether you're looking for ways to better your life or just want an awakening to what's going on in your life, because it definitely has you take a good look at yourself. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Strength in the Storm is a remarkable little book with six simple chapters each one focusing on a life lesson to help us survive all our difficult times. Written in down-to-earth language, it helps us put into practice skills which at first glance seem so easy, yet take constant focus to give us courage and strength. If you are going through a job loss, work conflict, money problems, relationship issues, a health crisis, this is the book for you. The pastor at our church has been preaching from this for five weeks now, the last lesson is next Sunday. I have learned so much from her and this book.

Outstanding book! The author gives so very many suggestions for handling stress in your life. Absolutely a "must read" for everyone who could use some calming influences in his/her life. A quick read; but a most important & influential read. Highly recommended.

it was not what I thought. too breezy, not enough depth, too repetitive. text chopped up into little sections on every page, no development of thought. also, the book was in slightly worse shape than reported.
