Napkin Notes: On the Art of Living

By G. Michael Durst

Book Overview

"The best self-help book on the market " is the summation for all of the five star ratings on Amazon. Although countless self-help books have been written, none have been able to translate psychological theory into practical, day-to-day application as well as this one does. By integrating Eastern and Western philosophy with science and religion, Napkin Notes provides a concise, easy-to-read guide for living. Dr. Durst promotes the concept that we are 100% responsible for everything in our experience and for our reactions to life's events. This focus provides not only increased knowledge, but also the impetus to change. In so doing, it directs us to greater insight, satisfaction and fulfillment.

Customer Reviews

Wish I'd written it

Whenever I get ornery with myself I think about or reread this book. I can't tell you how many times I threw it across the room when first reading it; I didn't want its truths to be true but I couldn't get away from or counter them. I wish I'd had this book as a teenager or college student.

Can't Keep a Copy of My Own

Just ordered. Took out of package. Neighbor wanted to see it. I haven't seen it since. Same with all my other copies. Need I say more?

Not your typical self-help book

This book has saved me on many occasions. I never want to be without it! Durst makes such incredible sense, that you can literally open to any page and be inspired. The format is so entertaining and readable, I find myself returning whenever I need a reality check. I have given this book as a gift many times, always to rave reviews.

This book should be handed out to everyone at birth!!!

If you own only 1 philosophy or self help book in your life, this is the one. I commonly refer to this book as my "bible" because it is simply the most useful, practical, and realistic approach to how to get the most out of your every day experiences in life. This book is mandatory for anyone who considers themself alive and breathing. You don't know how much of life you're missing until after you've read this book. It is simply the most superb book of it's genre.

Enjoy this one & also try "Management by Responsibility"

This is a terrific book. I am frantically looking for the other textbook titled "Management by Responsibility" by Michael Durst ISBN 0-9602552-1-4, but cannot find any in the United States. Is there another outlet? My company has used them to train EVERY employee for many years; and we need them by the dozen!
