My favorite line from this inspirational book is, "There is great power in peacefulness and acceptance, because there is a great waste in restlessness, resentment, and unforgiveness." That prose really resonated with me, as my husband and I enter a new chapter in our lives... retirement.


Hughes teaches us acceptance of others and ourselves, and how to remain peaceful in a world rampant with hate, violence, and divisiveness.


Written regarding ALL aspects of living, the lessons truly hit home and made me stop and consider the changes needed in my own life. I have no doubt that I will be going back to reread certain chapters for change. In fact, I may need to return to this twice, maybe even three times, to fully appreciate what Hughes has imparted.


The writing was concise and the formatting made for easy reading. There were times that some of the language was "over my head", but the root and gist of the narrative was there, and hit home.


I am a big a big believer in life-long learning and broadening your mind, which Hughes encourages the reader to do.


There is a great need for books that inspire us and calm us during these days of chaos, as this one continually does for me.
