Be Still: Simple Keys to Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World
by
Why do we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves when all the great spiritual teachers of the past tell us, quite clearly, that we can find all that we need within? Throughout our lives we are conditioned to believe that nothing is easy. From early childhood we are taught that if something is worth having, then it has to be worked for and earned.

I won this book in a goodreads giveway.
I enjoyed most of the book. There were some very good points on living a simple life and I found his examples hit home in many ways.
Why did I not give the book a better rating? There was an odd chapter towards the end of the book that instructed us to pay our therapists. I mean, I get it.

The simple keys in this book are exactly that: Simple and basic pieces of thoughts, wisdom and knowledge to put the everyday madness of modern life in to a more spiritual context. The basic theme, to BE STILL, runs through each of the chapters, to demonstrate how easy life can be and actually is.
This simple but highly effective concept makes this simple and effective idea easy to grasp for everyone.
I can only recommend it to anyone new or experienced in Spiritual Teachings.

Great book and very easy reading. The central message - to be still in order to allow positive aspects of life to flow unhindered - is gently drummed in to the accompaniment of anecdotal examples and well-told parables. As the author states at the start, there is not much new here. Rather it is a useful reminder to those of us who get lost in the material world from time to time, to stop up, chill out and be still.
