My Thoughts:  Wow, what an amazing book full of gentle reminders on how to obtain the peace that we have all glimpsed at one point or another.  That calm peaceful feeling that you get when you aren't worried about all of the things that you think are wrong in your life or you aren't counting down all of the things left on your "to do" list.  That feeling that you get when you are truly living in the moment. 

The information is presented in a friendly, easy to understand format.  Dr. Samycia also explains the background as to why you need to take these steps to achieve the level of peace that you desire.  I found this to be especially enlightening.  While exploring this book, I felt informed, but never inundated with information that didn't mean anything to me.  I think it is a great book to keep around to remind yourself how easy it is to take care of yourself and to be truly happy.
