An Amazing Book

An update of Field Notes on the Compassionate Life, this is an absolutely amazing book that can change your life. Enjoy with great peace and enthusiasm.

I bought 10 copies to give to folks at work!

Excellent book! As a Union Representative in a Federal Agency I find that we need more compassion in the workplace. When you treat people with respect they will work harder for you and will be happier in their own work! I find this to be true whether manager to employee or employee to manager.

An extraordinary book that opens the heart

This is an extraordinary book - a must read for everyone at this most critical time. Not one for tears, I found myself crying, then laughing and always with a growing feeling of hope that we as humans can turn things around. Marc's message is simple, "Love each other, love the planet; love madly, with no fear, without restraint." Bravo.
