A great way to begin your day

I received this book from a dear friend for Christmas. I have read it ever since, and read it just about every day. It is simple, to the point and profound. It gets me back on the spiritual beam and back to peace every time I read one of the 108 entries. This is how I want my life to be..........at peace! Thanks for writing it Scott!

Peace lives here!

This book lives right next to my meditation cushion. Every morning I read a simple & profound tidbit which sets my heart beating to a rhythm of peace. Throughout these tumultuous past months when the country's political climate creates so much fear, anger and unrest, Scott Shaw's book has been helping me stabilize in a personal peace. He has spoken truth in simple words that go in easily and resonate deeply. I just purchased this book for the Peace & Justice Center Library in our town. We can not create peace out of anger. Thank you for this gem, Scott Shaw!

Very good read, especially if you are short on time

This book can change your life. Pop it in your purse, briefcase, duffle or diaper bag. Read it when you have a few spare minutes. Well worth the investment. This is a book I refer back to often.

Essential Reading

What I love most about this book is that it is so easy to read -- each page is an individual chapter on how to find and maintain peace in this crazy world we live in. I find that I have been carrying this book around with me and periodically opening it up and reading a chapter or two in order to refocus my life and embrace my own inner peace. This is an important and very helpful book.
