5.0 out of 5 stars A True Guiding Light, August 14, 2005

This review is from: What if You Can Change the World? (Hardcover)

WHAT IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD is a book of questions and quotations which are designed to help us suspend critical judgment long enough to open our minds to all possibility. With 200 pages of questions and quotes and 75 pages of references, WHAT IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD is a masterpiece of raw, transformational power. The careful placement of each pair of questions and quotations on their own set of facing pages allows us to either slowly savor each concept, or zip through the whole book in a few mind-boggling minutes.

WHAT IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD is the perfect source book for starting daily meditations, as each gentle question introduces concepts that challenge consensus reality as they illuminate even the darkest parts of ourselves. This is also an excellent book for summarizing some of the best gems from the collective wisdom of centuries of spiritual wisdom and positive thinking. I love the way this book contains many of my old favorite quotations, such as Marcel Proust's, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes," as well as introduces me to many new favorites.

I recommend WHAT IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD to spiritual seekers and leaders everywhere, for this book is truly a guiding light!

Incredibly simple yet powerful.

Are you frustrated by daily life? The drive to work? The daily routine? Do you feel like you're not getting anywhere? If you can get past "just reading through" this book and actually "use" it, you will be inspired and uplifted to take your life to the next level. This is a truly unique approach that will draw out the power within yourself. Can you change the world? You can certainly change yours! And when you have yourself on the right track, you can then work towards leaving your mark on this planet.

We seem to get caught up in the ruckus of the rat race and forget to contribute to important things. Let this process reset your perspective and learn from the best teacher you can have, Yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars a book that grows with you, June 28, 2005

By

This review is from: What if You Can Change the World? (Hardcover)

"What if, when you realize you have choices, you choose differently?" "What if change allows awareness to develop?" There's no answers given here, but it's the place to come if you're looking for your own. But best of all, this is not just a book of questions. As I read through it, something in it speaks to my whole self, my larger self that doesn't just worry about the mundane, but lives to the fullest in every moment.

As you move through the book, a careful progression of thought-provoking questions like these remind you of things you've always known and at the same time challenge long-held assumptions. Well chosen quotations on the facing page evoke new perspectives.

I've had this book less than 2 weeks, and I've already opened it's covers many times. I can tell I'll be coming back to it often. It's a book that grows with you.
