Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow (utgåvan 2005)

In this wonderfully well-written book, Lesser takes us through the waves of life to show us how our trials and tribulations are opportunities to learn and to grow into better, more compassionate and more caring people. We all have our talents and our path, and these will be illuminated through our capacity to make sense of obstacles thrown our way and rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. A compelling and enlightening read. ( )

I bought this book to give to a friend who is going through hard times. I didn't expect to sit down and read it cover to cover, but I did. Elizabeth Lesser has a fluid way of writing, and a wonderful way of sharing her experiences with some big name new-age heavyweights without every sounding like she is talking down to her readers. She mixes her own life experiences with those of others and offers up a philosophy that encourages us to stay open to learning from life, rather than fighting against change. ( )

Not what I was expecting. ( )

Thanks, Nancy! ( )

A helpful book to recommend to persons who are struggling to find meaning in the midst of adversity. ( )
