Customer Reviews

Lovely and inspiring

In addition to being an uplifting read, this is also a wonderful gift book because it is not so arcane or caught in one belief system that it might not be appropriate for one person or another... it's light and yet not just "fluff." My Mom loved it.

Introspective Tool worth a chunk of your time

The photography in this book alone makes it worth the price. The ideas are thought provoking and meaningful. This is a keep-forever book.

Wide Open: On Living With Purpose and Passion by Dawna Markova

Very uplifting with beautiful photographs and poignant phrases. I bought 2, one for myself and one for a gift. I'm giving both away, and now need to buy another for myself.

Beautiful Combination of Photographs, Spiritual Musings and Contemplations

This luscious book is a mixture of musings, quotes, questions and photographs designed to help you contemplate how you can do exactly what the subtitle says - live with more passion and purpose. This book is not coming from the perspective of a particular spiritual tradition or set of practices, but in my mind the themes around which the book is organized are intrinsically spiritual. Some samples: `Losing Yourself to Find Yourself', `Embracing the Mystery', `Sheltering Fear', and `What Have You Been Given With Which to Give?' The nature photography is especially stunning, so if you enjoy a mixture of text and images, this book is for you.
