This book brilliantly illustrates that a moment of enlightenment or an earth shattering epiphany is by no means the end of one's path, but rather a reference point of yet another step forward, nothing more - we must still go back to applying that discovery into daily living (significantly more difficult, and fulfilling, than having that realization in the first place). I personally enjoyed how it strips all the bells and whistles from the spiritual journey and truly makes each path unique. You need not travel to a cave in the Himalayas to awaken, it can happen on the futon in your living room. Namaste.

Essentially, this book lists the vows we ought to all take with the God within and without, which are well written and explained for day-to-day application and, if anything, over-explained by everyone's input and addition to Thich Nhat Hanh's own translation. Once the vows are engraved in your memory, all one can do is pass this on.

Out of the thirty-plus Dean Koontz books that I've read, Intensity is my favorite. Edge of your seat type of suspense you're sure to enjoy.

A real page-turner appealing to the heart and imagination simultaneously.

Reading this book was like a pleasant time travel through someone else's eyes: through Zora Hurston's, and her view of the world, despite the times, was so beautiful and strong, I found the book uplifting and beautiful.

Wow! This is a true literary gem depicting the most positive guided steps through living and dying, a natural process similar to puberty that we simply go through, yet it's not the end. I naturally hesitated even picking up such a book, had my doubts about the impact it could possibly have, but was blown away by its "realness" and applicability to daily life. I can only imagine that if you, or someone you know, is actually struggling with accepting death, is afraid of death, or experiencing its sometimes painful onset, this book would heal the spirit and soul, which no drug or medicine can do. This book is literary compassion. Namaste.
