"I would have given this book 5 stars, but I don't agree with everything the author says from a religious point of view. I really liked this book, and loved several of the thoughts and insights the author shared."
"Everyone needs to read this book. It touched me in a very profound way. The author talks about the seven things that we can do that most see as wrong or a waste of time, such as the "sin" of beign foolish, the "sin" of not knowing your direction in life, the "sin" of doing nothing, and more. As a person with three jobs and a goal of savings in mind, this book really made me think about what's truly important...having love, being yourself, enjoying the moment, etc. Some fantastic quotes from the likes of Theodore Roethke and more. Very, very inspirational."
"There were several quotes in this book that inspired me. I'll share a few:
"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us." -Joseph Campbell
"Not being perfect allows us to feel empathy and compassion, not just for ourselves but also for others. We see our own frailties and shortcomings in our friends and spouse, or we see that they stumble in their own way just as we do in ours. Not being perfect together joins us in our humanity."
"Not knowing can be a pleasure, because it give you your life back."
"Acknowledge that our intention is best served by an open mind, one that is receptive and cooperative with the larger forces of life around it, whatever they may be. Then life can be what it is, a mystery, not just an agenda.""
