| Read, Love, Cherish and "Be" this book | 2009-12-12 | 5 / 5 |

Written with astonishing humility and wisdom, this work continually unfolds, taking the reader into areas of unexpected thoughts and feelings. It beckons us to be still, do something by doing nothing, just "be." There is no "I" to broadcast, no personality code to decipher, no persona to seek understanding - just an allowance of what already is. It is a masterpiece.
Once it's been read cover-to-cover, the book doesn't end. The core of its message continues to present itself in daily experiences and observations of a given moment. It's in those places, unscheduled and without seeking purpose, that we're able to catch glimpses of what may have eluded us.
"Saying Yes to Life" allowed me to appreciate and observe the genuine feelings of happiness I experience, even while in pain and discomfort. It is possible to live peace and in the same moment, face sadness and disappointment.
For me, this is remarkable.

I am amazed of how deep can Ezra Bayda communicate his insights with such concise words. He helps unveil the false beliefs we all carry upon our shoulders and inside our soul. Every line read is like acknowledging the truth we have always felt was there but resisted to be put in words.
As I slowly read each page, I looked around me just to be sure no one else, besides the author, knew what I have been feeling all along in my life. So, you will not only read a book, you will read yourself as if your inner self was an open book waiting for you to dive into it.
Thank you Ezra, this book is not staying on my shelf but instead, will be carried inside of me forever.

| He Doesn't Assume He Gets It All Right | 2005-11-17 | 5 / 5 |

| This is my third book by Ezra Bayda and in many ways it is my favorite. Thomas Moore sums it up best in the introduction when he said, "I like Ezra Bayda because I don't think he assumes he gets it all right." And this is why I liked this book, it does not provide answers it only provides questions for reflection. For some reason I like the format and I also like the way the book feels in my hand. It just begs to be carried around with you and read throughout the day. But unlike many books, I do not feel the need to read it from cover to cover, rather I use it judiciously throughout the day. I let the day determine what page I will read. If it is 9:34 in the morning I turn to page 93 and read the passage if the temperature is 74° I turn to page 74. I found this to be a great tool to return my awareness to what is real. |

| I admit when I bought the book I read it quickly cover to cover. I couldn't resist the overview, but I quickly saw that real benefit would only come through practicing in depth with each page. Ezra's words gently encourage us to go to our own edge...to hear his wisdom and use it as inspiration toward our own proving ground. |
