I commend the great comedian Eddie Murphy for mentioning this book either in print or on television, I cannot remember which.

“Make Your Life Worthwhile” offers spiritual guidance, telling readers to slow down, purge negative thoughts and remember that today is all we really have.

Eddie’s consistently calm affect affirms that this book is one to keep close at hand.

I enjoy reading books with depth. This is an excellent example of a book that can be read at a leisure pace with principles that can be applied immediately. Some books in my library, I usually only read once, this is one of those books along with Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E Frankl that I'll read several times.

Resourceful, insightful, great guidance and a key for spiritual growth. This was an Eddie Murphy recommendation. Having a copy in your library to use as a great reference would definitely help you Make Your Life Worthwhile.

Excellent way to start the morning! Great for devotionals.

I thought that this book tries to spiritualise without the presence of God, but on the whole found the book helpful and interesting. I think it reflects the writer's time when they sought scientific approach to Christianity without a denominational slant and that is interesting. However, you can only proceed so far with yourself and God and it needs community which this doesn't so much embrace. Given that some Christian community can be unwelcoming and judgmental, it is still necessary for each of us to encourage each other, confess our faults to each other, forgive one another and share life together. Very good suggestions in living a positive life

I think that my issue with this book was it was too repetitive and simplistic. The “everyday” ideas the author used to demonstrate spiritual ideas were a stretch—and maybe this is due to the older nature of the book—but I found myself rolling my eyes too often. Don’t get me wrong. There are truths and good ideas and advice in this book. It is a great place for someone beginning their or coming back to their own spiritual journey. I just was not particularly inspired to do better or be better by the content of this book.

Great daily book

This is a book of short essays by Emmet Fox. They are perfect for a daily reading or as a reminder of the basic precepts presented in Mr Fox's other books. Clear and pointed.

Emmet Fox's compilation of short stories on practical application of spiritual ideals, that promote deeper thought. We just got done reading this book in a study group.
