Life Lessons

reviewed by Mark Holofcener

"The universe runs this amazingly complex planet, with all its flowers, trees, animals, winds, sunshine, and everything else, quite well, yet this is the power we are afraid to surrender into. It may sometimes be hard to find the good or the lesson in a difficult situation; we may wonder why its happening. But there is often no other way for the universe to heal us except to present us with the tough situations. None of us really knows why events happen in our lives. The problem is that we think we should know; but living requires humility, for life is a mystery. All will be revealed in its own time." --Excerpt from book

This book is simply filled with wonderful anecdotes, and wisdom, born from experience that comes from a deep connection with spirit and the universe. The wisdom in this book can help anyone learn about life and death, from viewpoints that will enlighten and delight our spirit, as well as our intellect. This is truly one of the best books I have ever read, and I gauge that by how much it helped me to better understand the bigger picture, and to know that there is in fact a bigger picture.

There are lessons on fear, play, love, loss, time, and surrender.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has studied more than 20,000 people who have had Near Death Experiences (NDE), making her one of the foremost experts in the world on the phenomenon of NDE and life after death.

• The stories illustrated to me that a higher power is at work in all aspects of our lives, and that is both comforting and provided me a sense that it would be helpful to recognize the higher power in my life.

• This book contains so much wisdom for anyone that is grieving, but also for those that simply seek to understand the nature of life and death from various perspectives, which is always helpful.

Mark is the author of Evan's Earthly Adventure and a regular reviewer for Beyond Indigo.
