Customer Reviews

A great read anytime, anywhere

I really like this book. It offers great insight about different ways to be patient and when to think about it in different, everyday situations. The chapters are really short, so it is easy to read one or two chapters before bed or while waiting (patiently, hopefully!). I also find myself re-reading old chapters to remind myself! I also gave this to my mom as a gift and she loves it as well.

Loved this book

This book is perfect for someone who's learning to assert patience in their daily lives. First off, the chapters are short and to the point, which is perfect for the readers of this particular book. Secondly, each chapter deals with a different aspect of life and how patience plays a role. So, if you're dealing with a specific situation, it's most likely covered in this book. Lastly, the author doesn't preach to you. Instead, she speaks of her own struggles with losing her patience and how, even now, she slips up from time to time. I'm very glad I read it.

Patience is good

I took my time reading this book. I found it very insightful and motivating. I do believe it has taught me to be more patient.

The Power of Patience: How to Slow the Rush and Enjoy More H

Mary Jane Ryan's POWER OF PATIENCE puts it all into perspective. Through inspiring quotes, stories, and practical suggestions, she creates an insightful, personal and very useful journey for readers. I've had the book a week and have already read it twice (the combination of a house fire, huge loss and a very bad insurance company are making me a student of patience and perspective...thank goodness for this book!). POWER OF PATIENCE would also make a terrific gift.
