Product Description
From Booklist
Beattie, whose The Language of Letting Go (1991) was a best-seller, now slices her message into 365 daily aphorisms, or as she calls them, meditations. There's nothing much wrong with this book as volumes of New Age philosophy go, but it doesn't break any new ground, either. The framework derives from an actual automobile trip that Beattie took across the West with stops at mystical sites such as Sedona, Arizona, and Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. This is no travelogue, however. Neither is it like her previous books, which were, as Beattie testifies, "grounded in pain." The focus here is on discovering a new way to live through joy and hope. The meditations themselves, however, are hardly fresh: "Worrying doesn't help. Our worries are self-punishment, a form of not forgiving ourselves, not loving ourselves, not trusting." Or, "Right now, this moment, things are working out. . . . Everything is working out, moving forward, evolving." It is only through a certain amount of repetition that Beattie can come up with 365 of these meditations. Perhaps best known for Codependent No More (1989), Beattie has added the New Age crowd to her followers. Expect demand where crystals glimmer. Ilene Cooper

I am so impressed with this book, I have learned from reading the daily meditations, to stop fighting the course of life.. that's already mapped out, waiting for me to catch up. Release my fears and add my creativity to this world. Sometimes, I go back to some of the pages for reference, to keep me on the road to healing. I've learned to comfort myself and to be still and listen to that inner voice, which gives me peace and allows me to breath with such completness. I'm not afraid to take the next step now... through reading your book and being disciplined in other areas of my life . I found out that life can be so easy , if we just move out of the way and let the universe that surrounds us steer our path. Thank you Melody for being so real and opening up your heart and soul...What a gift you have - given to me and others . I'm not afraid to take the next step ...because guess what?...no matter where I try to run or hide ....ME! .. follows!!

I wanted a daily meditation book, that was spiritual and empowering and this is the book. I feel like the book was written for me, reading the day's message is a perfect way to start my day.

Melody Beattie continues to inspire me. Having inhaled her book,Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself I am delighted to find this precious gem, recommended by a friend of mine.How appropriately titled as it brings us directly to reflecting on our own journey touching not only the heart but the soul and body, the total person! As we continue this quest, what better way than to use this finely tuned road map to keep us joyfully focused as we hit those bumps in the road. With another source,Quest for Happiness Handling Difficult Relationships Using the FTA Approach I highly recommend this treasure of daily reflections as a stepping stone to discovering our life's purpose helping us connect more deeply with ourselves, the Invisible One and this beautiful universe.
