This is a wonderful book, packed with a lot of very focused, good advice and guidance---and without a lot of unnecessary stories (something I, personally, get bogged down in reading other growth & wisdom books). The only complaint I have---which is something my partner appreciated---was the formatting of the text in the book: All of the text is centered on the page. My partner appreciated that, because it allowed her to break up each of the sentences on the page into a thought---like reading a poem. However, I am very visually sensitive, and the formatting added an additional challenge to my reading experience. But don't let that stop you from reading this excellent work!

It would be a "wise choice" to buy and reflect on every word of this wonderfully insightful book...I loved the prose, I loved the format, I loved the conciseness and truth of her spiritual wisdom.

"...(remember) that in everything we do,

at every fork in the road of our journey through life,

however large or small,

we have a choice...

The choice is always about "which way forward",

and it always begins right where we are."

This is another wonderful Margaret Silf book on spirituality

and spiritual direction. Highly recommended!

We are all faced with decisions in our lives. Some are monumental while others are small. This slim, thoughtful book helps readers negotiate the process of choosing well and learning from past mistakes. The author combines wisdom of ancient spiritual traditions with 21st century common sense. The result is a lyrical primer for removing the stress of an increasingly complex world.

Wise Choices helps decide which decisions are important, slay nagging doubts and feel confident to trust our own minds. The author writes: "Tuition is something we are given from the outside...Intuition is something that dwells within us--an inner wisdom that prompts us gently about the right course to pursue, the better reaction to a situation." The book also suggests ways to follow through once a decision is made. This is her fourth inspirational book about silencing the outside world and finding inner solace.
