““I first purchased a Kindle edition, and the book is so packed and well-written that I purchased a hard copy. Never done that before in my life! If you’re new to inner and personal development, save yourself 20 years by studying this book. If you’re an experienced student of life enrichment principles, delight in reading an amazingly clear exposition of all the things you’ve probably come to suspect. Neuroscience, best practices, inspiration, practical application, it’s all here in a brilliant synthesis—the updated “middle way” of Buddhism (my comment, though I don’t think Buddhism is mentioned in the book). Respectful and sensible—an absolutely amazing accomplishment. I’ve watched longtime friends bog down in fanaticism, even though they started with a genuine spiritual direction. I wish I could tell them about this book. Do not miss this. Thank you Mr. Forencich.” —T. H. Russell, Amazon review
“This is a great book. I really believe that if everyone read this book the world would be a better place.” —Phred Hall, Amazon review
“Insightful. Artistic. Creativity. An extremely well-written book that reminds us to slow down and focus on the moment at hand. Seemingly unrelated aspects of life are connected in thought-provoking ways that make the reader stop and analyze their own place in this world. Great and easy read full of fun analogies.” —Luke Sniewsky, Amazon review
“This book could be required reading for not only wellness and movement practicioners, but anyone with a desire to live a fuller life. I carry it with me and read a chapter when things get a little stressful. This book acts as a reference guide as well to help me with my professional practice as a movement guide and I strongly recommend it to anyone with a desire to enrich their lives and in turn, those around them. The crazy world needs this book right now! The author also has many other great books that are brilliant and equally fascinating.” —Skye, Amazon review
“One the best movement/exercise/lifestyle thinkers around. Frank creates wonderful material that can be used in any area of your life. Highly recommended.” —Amazon review
“There is an enormous amount of natural wisdom in this book. Thank you Frank Forencich.” —Amazon review
“This is one of those special books than can literally change your life and the way you think and act. Beautifully written, easily explained concepts and it all just makes a lot of sense. I will be recommending this book and giving it away to friends because for me it has been the single most helpful book on changing my perspective on how to live and CREATE my own life, and to show me how to be the one that can change things without putting myself under any added pressure to perform and conform to anyone else’s standards or expectations. If you are waiting for an epiphany to change your life, don’t buy this. If you want a step by step approach that anyone can understand and apply to their own life and see results, this is the most effective one I have seen so far. I only wish I had been able to read this 30 years earlier. Thank you, Frank.” —Bibi Brock, Amazon review”
