You cannot help but be impressed by a book that, step-by-step and insight-by-insight, reveals to you who and what you are. In the process, you experience an awakening of profound proportions and a realization of your true potential. Its truly life-changing.

A remarkable book written with clarity and compassion. It provides a perfect balance between theory and practical application. You need only read, understand, and apply the concepts to get optimum results.

I like the authors comment, You cannot hope to do great things until you know you have greatness within you. Okay, everyone, now that we all know this, wed better get to work!

This destined-to-be-classic shows you how to master your moods and take purposeful action. It will transform how you see yourself and your world, and bring new meaning, excitement, and joy into your life.

Very insightful! This book clearly shows that our species is at risk of self-destructing unless we find a way to transcend the ego. It then goes on to show how we as individuals can actually do this. An excellent piece of work.

Seldom does a book come along that has the potential to change so many people in so many positive ways. This is such a book. You are struck with wonder, awe, and sheer delight when you discover who you really are.

A real gem! This book could have been called Master Your Mind, Master Your World: Know That All Is Well. Its a wonderful gift to all of us who want more peace, hope, happiness, and success in our everyday life.

A fascinating book about the awakening of the human spirit, about how to be fully aware and intensely alive, and fully appreciate who we are and what we can be.

Lucid, revealing, provocative, even disarming. This book challenges you to be courageous, to find your bliss, then commit to make your mark. You have that power. You need only go inside and access it.

What does the music in stillness sound like?

I think it is part poetry, part lullaby, and part anthem.

It soars and it soothes; it heralds and it heals.
