5.0 out of 5 stars "why me... is almost a part of my life, January 27, 2000

By 

Vandana Rajaram - See all my reviews

This review is from: Why Me, Why This, Why Now: A Guide to Answering Life's Toughest Questions (Hardcover)

I happened to come across this book sometime in 1993. Like a wiseman once said, you dont find books, rather books find you and so let me reframe my sentence and put it as "Why...found me in '93. At first I found the book almost incredible; I was even angry because it was challenging all my deeply rooted beliefs. But when I dared to pick it up for the second time I found the deepest wisdom in every single word. It was truly a healing experience. I have read this book countless number of times ever since and each time it touches me afresh! I recommend this book to anyone who feels a need to look beyond everyday life and it is a must for those who are looking for meaning in these repititive episodes of pain and joy that we happen to call- life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compassionate Guide for Life's Questions, July 11, 2004

By 

LoriDee (New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Why Me, Why This, Why Now: A Guide to Answering Life's Toughest Questions (Hardcover)

Robin Norwood offers her readers clear compassionate insight into the many purposes of life on earth. The vignettes in this book open up a range of possibilities for rethinking any circumstance in your life. A death is seen as an agreement that has been made to fufill a karmic bond and when seen through this light, the circumstances can be viewed with a different understanding that perhaps allows more peace. A personality trait or skill that a person posesses may be the main issue the soul has chosen to work on in this life to evolve and expand. A relationship that causes great grief may be the perfect reflection of where we are wounded and helps to "wake us up." Life on earth is all about learning, evolving and expanding. There are no bad experiences when seen in this light, it is all perfect and always evolving. Every experience moves us into the next phase of our evolvement and if we can recognize where we are wounded by our experiences and move past the wound we can choose not to experience that circumstance again. A really beautiful, helpful and insightful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to re-read and treasure, September 27, 1998

By

This review is from: Why Me, Why This, Why Now: A Guide to Answering Life's Toughest Questions (Hardcover)

I was astounded to read that this unique book is out of print. Norwood, author of "Women Who Love Too Much," takes a radically different turn here. She recounts her seven-year period of solitude, study and contemplation, and the result is a spiritual gift to readers. She touches on any number of personal crises that almost anyone can identify with and introduces some very thought-provoking theories of her own. A small book, densely packed with wisdom and sane perspective. I bought several copies to give to friends, but I'll never part with my own. This book, as the author herself advises, should be re-read over and over: each time, you gain a new perspective that make the book richer and richer. Try to find this book--it's worth the effort.
