For the first time in my life, I laid my eyes on a book which felt like a friend. If I had to summarize “Simply Put” into a single statement, it would be the most penetrating rendition of “Life for dummies”. Every single reminder, sentence, and overview found in the book provides tangible mechanisms for life’s endless pickles in a way that allows you to feel human during the process. One thing that greatly lacks in many “self-help” books is the acknowledgement, let alone the praise of human emotion playing a concrete part of adapting and overcoming. “Simply Put” does exactly that, and harnesses what every one of us has in order to propel ourselves forward, no matter in which stage in life we are. A truly life changing read.

"Simply Put" beautifully bridges the timeless teachings of yoga with a contemporary and pragmatic perspective on life. Danit's rich family narratives, rooted in a tradition of strong and compassionate women, offer fresh insights into daily challenges. Her book inspires a newfound appreciation for everyday moments and encourages to approach life with a beginner's curiosity and an open mind. After reading, I'll never leave a pickle jar half-open and am committed to embracing chores with an open mind. A delightful read!

There was so much wisdom in the book! And so enjoyable to read. It felt like a gift from the author to hear how she encountered the problems she was writing about. I kept the book by my bed and turned to the chapter I needed at that day. The words were comforting and enlightening. It meant so much to hear the author's voice in the experiences she was writing about and it always helped me address my own challenges.

I have been fortunate enough to practice yoga and meditation with Danit for years and have come to cherish her as both a teacher and a friend. One of Danit’s many talents is her incredible physical adjustments. She can spot your physical pain from across a room and shift your posture in just the right way to create space throughout the body. Simply Put is like these physical adjustments in book form: a clear, thoughtful collection of small lessons and observations, written to be accessible and relevant to all readers, and sure to make big shifts when applied over time. Danit beautifully distills key teachings of yoga and Buddhism into bite-sized nuggets that are and immediately applicable to everyday life. Brimming with heart, honesty, compassion and wisdom, this is a book for anyone who wants a little extra help at being their best selves – and isn’t that really all of us?
