Who Would Benefit From Reading This Book and why? If like me your coaching often takes you to expanding the realms of personal development and which takes you to facilitating journeys towards greater self knowledge then this book will instil a confidence in facilitating inner search, growth and development in the spiritual realm.
Reviewer’s Opinion The book offers knowledge of lives completely transformed attaining spiritual wholeness, of for example, Ram Das, Remember, Be Here Now and Malcolm X The Autobiography of Malcolm X to practical lessons in how to master your own mind. Particularly relevant here is Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now and Thich Nhat Hanh - The Miracle of Mindfulness on living in the now and attuned to a much richer deeper experience of life.
Again Tom Bowdon provides an excellent taste of some of the best writing on spirituality that enables you to navigate your way around the array of literature. I have read many of the offerings and still found little gems of inspiration like. Miguel Ruiz- The Four Agreements, ‘be impeccable with our words, take nothing personally, assume nothing and always do your best’
