Change someone's life and your own in the space of a minute

This is a book of stories, rather like "Chicken Soup for the Soul" where people share their personal experiences who their lives or the lives of people around them changed in literally the blink of an eye. Authors include Wayne Dyer, Dean Ornish, Marilyn Diamond, and Deepak Chopra. But my favorite story was from a hairdresser that had a client come in between her usual times for a styling. When the hair stylist asked about any special occasion, the client said "Oh, I just want to look and feel good tonight." After a scalp massage, a haircut and a lot of laughing and sharing, the client left. And then had her sister check her into a mental health facility, because the reason she was getting her hair done was because she was going to commit suicide that night, and she wanted to look good at her funeral. How sobering! By being fun, entertaining, caring and "there" for his client, the stylist actually saved her life. The other story I loved is one of a doctor who volunteered for a spate in Nigeria. While there, he did a risky procedure to remove fluid around the heart of a young farmer. After some touch-and-go moments, the procedure was a success. When the doctor came back later to see his patient, the farmer said the most extraordinary thing: "I get the sense you are wondering why you came here." --How did he know, thought the doctor. "I have an answer for you" went on the farmer, "You came here for one reason. You came here for me." The doctor realized he was there, anywhere, to help ONE PERSON AT A TIME. After he had gotten over a very grandiose viewpoint of his own importance, the farmer set down the significance of what he was doing. Helping one other person, one at a time. Very profound. This is a terrific book about life's purpose and our place in it. A very inspiring book to read and I recommend it highly.

Wonderful Book

I loved this book! It's wonderful to read about the well known people and the events that changed the directions of their lives. While each person writes his or her own story, Phil Bolsta begins each section with an insightful synopsis of the types of events that have occurred. The stories show the reader how this can happen to each one of us and all we need to do is be aware of events that surround us in order for a spiritual transformation to take place. They sometimes come in soft quiet moments and others like thunderbolts. Don't miss this wonderful collection of events that have happened to the famous, but show us they can happen to anyone.

Sixty Seconds changed everything

If you were my best friend, I'd be emailing you to share a "Wow!" over Phil Bolsta's book. It's an easy read, especially nice for lunch breaks because each of the 45 stories is short. You've heard many of these names and, like me, may have wondered what is going on inside this person. Well, here's your chance to walk with each one as they relate the moment of spiritual understanding that forever altered their perception of life. Some will make you cry; one made me laugh out loud in a busy coffee shop. You may even discover the one that touches your memory and has you thinking, "I remember feeling like that!" If you're feeling spiritually alone in the universe, don't miss this book. You're in excellent company.

Awesome!

I am savoring every minute of these tidbits of knowledge. Phil has done an awesome job of sharing what I would consider to be the secrets of life and power of unconditional love. A must read!!!

Sharing Intimate moments -

I couldn't put this book down when I started reading it. SIXTY SECONDS: ONE MOMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING tells us very inspirational moments of many well known individuals. - forty five to be exact. It includes personal stories from people of different walks of life, such as physicians, authors of well known books, film producers, sports legends, educators, philosophers, etc. There are intimate stories from Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Dr. Christine Northrup, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss , Dr. Larry Dossy, Dr. Dean Ornish , and Dr. Bernie Siegel - just to name a few. Reading about so many people who have had huge life-changing events makes me feel like I can handle anything that comes my way. Things really do happen for a reason! I've never understood why some people don't believe in an afterlife - or why they don't see the miracles that happen each and every day. The stories in this book have actually happened! I can't imagine the time and effort expended in gathering all of the stories, putting it in a book format, getting it published and getting the word out to the public. I thank Phil Bolsta, Caroline Myss, and all the many people involved in this wonderful book.
