- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5From my blog...Ever pondered why one eats when stressed? Tried dieting only to fall back into the same old routine weeks or months later? If so, Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life by Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Lilian Cheung may be the book to read. The authors, while using an astonishing amount of documented research, point out some rather key functions of why so many fail on their diets, over-eat, or eat while stressed out. The authors suggest that rather than being obsessed with counting every calorie or trying to calculate whether or not enough calories were burned in one's last workout to allow a slice of cake, one should rather step back and take a look inward. One must consciously make oneself aware not only of how one eats and what one chooses to eat, but more importantly, one must understand one's innermost needs, desires, and actions. Savor is not only well written and well researched, the authors offer up sound advise, suggestions, substitutions, definitions, and illustrations to get their point across. Savor is a much-needed slice-of-reality book in today's society where just reading the appendices alone would benefit many readers, this one included. I cannot praise Savor enough.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books I ever read. Also reccomend his book boundaries
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good book about executing necessary ending in life and in business. The author emphasizes that for the right tomorrow to come, some parts of today may have to come to a necessary ending. Keep pruning, keep letting go.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very insightful read on doing endings and assessing potential endings. Recommended for young adults, exploring relationships, careers and businesses. Postmortems and metabolizing endings is very important to human makeup and wholeness
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Challenging, encouraging, inspiring and leading to live an action oriented life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book. Every person should read it. Loved the voice reading as well. Material SO relevant to All aspects if life - personal, Social, business. Well organized, great real life examples, direct & needdul. I believe this Information can change lives for the better when taken to heart and implemented.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book that was recommended to me and that I resisted reading. However, I found it to be very helpful and clarifying.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author shares his experiences related to the corporate world and explain how to deal with situations that seems will never end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When parts of our lives end, we often feel sadness, remorse, or approach the ending with a sense of foreboding or hesitation. Necessary Endings shows us a different way to look at endings in our lives. They are, not only necessary, but a step to something better and until we let go, we don't let ourselves be open to future possibilities. Great personal growth book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While the audio has a few great ideas, overall it felt drawn out. I liked his emphasis on embracing endings as part of life and his analogy of endings to pruning a bush. A bush produces more buds than it can sustain so by removing ones that are not the best puts more energy into the ones that are. Removing dead ones is easy; the challenge is recognizing which ones are going to be the best and feeling OK about removing ones that are average. Unfortunately, once you get past the ideas the examples and advice were weak. I am on the fence about recommending it; however it is worth reading because it does explore endings and makes one think.
