Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

I really enjoyed reading this book -- full of insightful and often humorous stories that gave me food for thought for weeks afterwards. The short chapters make it the perfect choice when you just need to decompress for a short time, but the depth of content keeps you turning the pages. Well worth the read!

Listen to Yourself

From the heart of Sherman Burns, this book is about real people and real life. There aren't any "you should's" or "you ought to's" that will make you feel more guilty. The author simply let's you glimpse other's lives and how they continue to survive. Sherman's insight into the relationship these people have with themselves will give you the freedom to be yourself, and shed rigid uncreative behavior you think is expected of you. Real life is right here and right now within your grasp, if you will take the time to listen to your spirit. "Life" can be read several times and continue to provide you more treasures as you learn to let go.

Real Life is always under construction

This book will mean different things to different people... a real book about reality with real life stories.... a look at the way many of us could live, and the way some of us do. Burns has crafted a lighthearted book to challenge and perhaps change your life. Let's hope he will follow-up with a work book guide.

Awesome!

Even though Burns advises us to read a few chapters at a time, it was difficult to stop reading! His "take-aways" at the end of each chapter were inspiring...I laughed and got a little teary-eyed too. I'd love to see this guy in person at one of his presentations!

Entertaining and insightful

A quick read for the humor will encourage a reread for the insight and reflective lessons .. several chapters hit close enough to home that I double checked to see if my name was listed in the acknowledgments.
