Editorial Reviews

Review

A wonderful distillation of the classical spiritual approach to life. It is practical, refreshing, and fun to read. -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and A Heart as Wide as the World

Both clear and practical, honest and wise. Cushnir can help us plumb life's mystery and joy. -- Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within

Simple, direct, and deeply joyful. This indispensable handbook for spiritual well-being will satisfy even the harshest critics. -- Mark Matousek, author of Sex Death Enlightenment and Dialogues with a Modern Mystic


Product Description

No matter how difficult life may be, you can still live in a state of radiant bliss, says Raphael Cushnir--even if you're alone, sick, failed, and broke. Pie-in-the-sky? This down-to-earth book shows us how.

Based on universal spiritual principles, the message is profound, but the method couldn't be more practical. All it takes is a simple two-step process called LIVING THE QUESTIONS, demonstrated here with compelling real-life examples.

This book is not about getting what you want. It's about allowing yourself to FEEL the way you want by embracing life one precious moment at a time...starting right now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, November 7, 2000
By A Customer
Unconditional Bliss came into my hands during a devastating breakup. I needed what most self-help books, with their bright covers and promises, never gave me: specific strategies for handling moments of crisis. With great gentleness and humor, Howard Raphael Cushnir asks the reader to study the way he or she feels joy or grief, to see how breathing and self-talk affect that process. The way he does this showed me tools I had never before recognized, and what I learned from using them changed my life. I recommend this book with all my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The How of Now, November 4, 2002
By Marian (Oklahoma, USA) - See all my reviews
As a longtime seeker of enlightenment, I've read many a book that promised guidance. And I've received a fair share. But this book has come into my life at a crucial time and seems, more than others before it, equal to the task. It provides a simple and effective--I didn't say "easy"-- method for attaining bliss by teaching a two-question process. The first question brings one's present reality into focus; the second gives one a "leg up" on accepting that reality.

When I read a book that thoroughly meets my needs, as now, I don't pretend to be impartial or a careful critic. In fact, I want to say that the writing is exquisite, but don't know how much my pleasure in the book's content informs that opinion.

If timing is everything, and I believe it is, then my wish for you, reading this review, is to share my good fortune. May you meet this book with an open heart, letting the gift of its message march in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two simple steps to Unconditional Bliss!, October 23, 2000
By John (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
In his new book, author Howard Raphael Cushnir asserts that it's possible to experience radiant bliss no matter how bad life gets. "I invite you to experience this bliss," he writes, "when it's easy, when it's a challenge, and when it seems utterly impossible." Then, stunningly, he shows the reader exactly how. In this elegant, straightforward book, Cushnir shares a simple practice he calls Living the Questions that can help us to access "the bliss that lives within." A self-described skeptic, Cushnir describes how he discovered this bliss by paying close attention to his experience after his life fell apart. Candid self-revelations support his thesis that one needn't be an expert to find this deep and abiding inner bliss. The practice he distilled consists of two simple questions, to be asked and answered moment-by-moment. Examples throughout the book illustrate how the practice applies to daily situations, from the mundane (overeating, traffic) to the deep-seated (loneliness, loss, unresolved childhood issues). Highly accessible and practical, yet profound in its implications, it's a great read with a great message.
