Book Description:
In 1999, Neale Donald Walsch wrote three little books, each focusing on different areas of life: Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships, Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living, and Neale Donald Walsch on Abundance and Right Livelihood.
Now, 10 years later, Walsch has revised these three books and combined them into one volume. In this little book, Walsch provides his readers with the basic principles for satisfying personal relationships, an inspirational approach to the real meaning of money and prosperity and how they apply to the secret of happiness, and the basics of integrated living--how to live with joy and harmony.
This book presents the core teachings found in the Conversations with God series. Warm and inspirational, Walsch’s words provide hope and help for readers living in a particularly challenging time.
I say it's a must read in case you have unanswered questions about human relationships, other means of healing your body and living a good life, being happy with who you truly are.
The book impressed me from the very beginning when Neale touched a sensitive spot, the love-commitment-marriage part of human relationships, and I was surprised to find out that we have some common opinions.
Another thing I liked about this book is that it has a funny, easy way of putting things. I do enjoy some casual facts but I just hate it when authors base their entire books on scientific proofs that in time don't apply anymore because there are really no certainties. I think that we should look at things in a humanly manner - after all we are human, why not exploiting this opportunity and creating connections through empathy? But that is my humble opinion...now back to the book.
The first part of the book speaks of how important relationships are to us humans.
He also talks about what he considers to be healthy relationships and he has some interesting stories to share. Quote, long quote: "Relationships are the most important experience of our lives. Without it, we are nothing.
Literally.
Literally.
That is because, in the absence of anything else, we are not.
Fortunately, there is not a one of us who does not have a relationship. Indeed, all of us are in relationships with everything and everyone, all of the time. We have a relationship with ourselves, we have a relationship with our family, we have a relationship with our environment, we have a relationship with our work, we have a relationship with each other.
Normally confident, competent people fumble and fall, stumble and stall, crumble and call for help.
We simply find it very difficult to get along - much less actually love each other."
The second part of the book is talking about holistic healing. Now I've only met this term once or twice in the past year but I did gain some interest in it and am still studying more about it (going to let you know more when I'll know more). Anyway if you are a noob at holistic healing (like me) you'll find it easy to understand what he is talking about in this part, because just as I stated before Neale doesn't go all philosophical on your ass, he has a way of putting things and making you understand what he means.
The third part and sadly the last one, is about having an abundant life. How to live an abundant life and what does it really mean after all.
There was something that really stuck in my head out of this part of the book and that is the way he explains that we today don't really know the difference between having money and having an abundant life. So I couldn't agree more to him when he said that money are the less significant part of abundance.
So, to finish my review I would give this book a 5/5 stars. It's a really good book, that has words of wisdom to share and lessons to consider learning. It is an easy read and it can light up your day with its funny stories that have meaning beneath the surface.
