About this title: The agony of stasis affects us all at one point or another. The terrible feeling of being stuck includes a whole constellation of symptoms, all unpleasant: powerlessness, unease, fear, shame, and a sense of not being alive.

"Great book. Highly recommend it if you're stuck in your life. It provides some focus questions to mediate on. It would probably behoove the reader to have a good understanding of Buddhism."
"This is a simple book by a local Missoula author; nothing earth-shattering here, but I liked its simple message about how to make big and small changes in your life when you're feeling frustrated or directionless."
"I wouldn't call myself stuck in a rut but I would describe my life as a bit chaotic. I have been thinking "is there more to this life deal that I should be doing?" even while moving forward towards some goals. I just didn't want to take the chaos with me.
This book is excellent! The reader is walked through how to recognize that they are stuck and then through the steps to get unstuck. I really appreciated the information and have been trying to put a lot of it into practice. Baby steps.
One piece of advice Kasl gives is to just show up to your life. To be aware of what is going on around you and to be aware and in tune with yourself. This is a surprisingly difficult task to accomplish. Even just sitting and chatting with friends, I know that my mind wanders to other things often. I'm making an effort now to be completely present. World of difference.
The reader is advised to live in reality, no more making up stories or not telling the truth. We're shown exercises to practice to connect with ourselves and with life.
Lastly, we're advised on how to get ourselves into action and just let go. Letting go is probably the scariest part, just like stepping off a cliff. Whatever the outcome of whatever our plans, we're advised to just accept them, even if things didn't go our way. But you have to move in order to change. You may lose something in the process of action - quitting a job you hate may lose you status and money - but you move forward into a life that you want to live in.
This book was very inspirational and while I have some ways to go in practicing what it preaches, I'm on the path and moving forward."
"Lovely, straightforward writing about buddhist ideas brought to a white middle class level. It was more self help-y than I liked with lots "you shoulds," so I abandoned it half way through. For what its worth."
