Inspirational!

[Ekaterina Nagornaya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Right books rather find me than i find them! They also find me at exactly the right time. A Daily Dose of Sanity found me at my AirBnB host's crib in September of 2014. It generously delivered exactly that: a healthy dose of sanity much needed after moving too fast and doing too much, so i suggest next time you find your self in need for some rebalancing and simplifying your life, pick up this good read)

I read this book over the course of the year. It contains short daily doses of wisdom. I have picked up many daily devotional type books but I have to say this is my favorite. It doesn't necessarily prescribed to any one religion, but is rather universal wisdom and spirituality. I would recommend it to anyone seeking to dig a little deeper everyday.

[David Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is on my top 5 list of daily reading books, and I've read dozens. Pithy, a great quote for each day, practical advice about empowering yourself to enjoy your life (regardless of what others do or say). I'll reread this one every 2-4 years, I predict.

Wonderful way to start the day on a positive note!

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good daily devotional but second to his A Deep Breath of Life which is more thought provoking and filled with more Ahha moments

[Jason Przybycien · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good advice. But his worldview is not mine and over time it got to me more and more

Definitely one of the best books I ever read

This is my second book that I read of Alan. He is definitely one of my favorites authors and one of my most important mentors, teacher. The first book A Course on Miracles made easy is spectacular, I have read it many times and I believe is one of those books I will continue to read the rest of my life, it helped me in a huge way in my spiritual journey, in my spiritual growth. This book I just loved, I read it daily and I will be reading all over again next year.

Thank you so much Alan for sharing your light.

In the game of life, we feel good when we maintain harmony between our values scale, the goals we set for ourselves, and our actions.
For this reason, let’s periodically ask ourselves what our moral reference points and goals are, and analyze what we’re doing day after day, observing whether there is a balance between values, goals and actions. Let’s also ask ourselves if these life foundations are balanced in the respect of others.
Inspiring book!

It's really encourages you to start your day in a beautiful manner and full of enthusiasm.

I have been sharing these pearls with many of my friends on a daily basis and they are totally in love with this book. I get reminders to share the daily story in case I am delayed on any day for sharing the pearl of that day.

Excellent book to start your day and uplift your spirit

I like the way the content is organized, the short stories to to convey the point and the ending with a affirmation as a take away.

[Stacey Hatfield · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are looking for some encouragement this book is to read.

You could take the time to read these inspiring clips one per day. We all could use some encouragement. It is easy to go through hard times with this book.

A good way to start each morning

This is a good way to start each morning as you get short messages which both inspire you and cause you to think. I've enjoyed it over the last year and I hope others enjoy it as well.

What an AMAZING book! There is too much in this book for me to review. READ IT!

[Nikki Greco · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book as a morning wake up. It is filled with daily reads that are inspirational and wise.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very pleasant, non-sectarian devotional.

[Dmitry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book full of wonderful stories.

I don't care much about somewhat Christian undertone, but it did not keep me distracted from the stories and the powerful message.

It inspired me for months, even now and then I read a story before going to bed. I am a big fan of Alan Cohen books, read many of them and they helped me through some of my darker days.

Thank you Alan.
