I read the 2 reviews here on PBS before pulling this book off my TBR shelf. I found both book reviews to be helpful and accurate. This book is about a Woman with MS who was wallowing in pain and self pity. Her friend and spiritual guide suggested she do 29 days of giving. This is the Authors experience, written about how her life changed when she started consciously giving. She does wallow at times, it is about her, I think it was supposed to be about her and her experience. It is NOT a list of 29 things that you can also do, but the 29 things she did. You can do the same journey but you will need to discover your own path. I do have to agree that this book is full of WOO woo. Cami Walker is very spiritual, in that she embraces it all from all religions. Sometimes that turned me off that she got so weird. She has alters in her house to her ancestors, she gets a massage with quail eggs, she has divination session involving rocks, shells and quills. In the end, I applauded her determination and her transparency. Did it inspire me to do a 29 gift giving? No. It did inspire me to make a few changes, in my life and reach some goals.
This book is a very fast read. I read it in two hours.
