This book gives readers an inspirational thought and a useful tool — an original affirmation — to be read each day. Each entry has a heading, a short message or meditation, and an affirmation. This new edition of a classic puts the timeless words of Shakti Gawain into a beautiful, fresh package.
Shakti Gawain is an author and proponent of what she calls "personal development". Her books have sold over 10 million copies, according to her website. Gawain's best known book is "Creative Visualization".

She is the co-founder, with Marc Allen, of New World Library Publishing Company and founder of Nataraj Publishing, a division of New World Library.
This is a daily affirmation book. I really like it, especially when I remember to actually read the affirmation on the actual date. Simple and fun but, it has sparked hours of contemplation and some really interesting conversations.
I've spottily read through this book many years previously, but actually followed along more closely this year. Need to do better making time to try some of the exercises. It often offers me some comfort when times are tough. It's a nice ritual and reminder of the larger picture.
Great book for daily inspiration and affirmations. Only one page a day. If you're into using affirmations to change attitudes beliefs or behaviors, this is a good book to start with.
I have read this for 2yrs now and have learned something new about myself; not every affirmation resonates or grabs me but when it does, it spurns some very earnest journaling. I have discovered several wonderful, and hard, truths about myself which, IMHO, is exactly what this daily is meant to do.
I always liked this little book. I bought it years and years ago to use with contemplation practice. It's set up in a page-a-day format, with a focus sentence, then short paragraph expanding on the thought.
It can get a little "airy-fairy woo-woo" in a few places, but that was sort of the vibe for these sorts of books written in the 80s.
