review 1: This book wasn't profound for me in any way but it was a good read to remind myself of those practices that I know are ones that will make my life more enriched. To read from Mr. Simmons that he practices these values in his personal and business life allows me to believe that especially in the higher levels of business there are some people who are consciously choosing to live a life closer to enlightenment. In a world that has people kicking and screaming to get to the top rung it pleases me to read that there are some who choose a different way.
review 2: A fascinating little book which, in my opinion, consists of three-parts: a memoir, an instructional manual surrounding important life lessons learned by Mr. Simmons, and a Yogi-manifesto composed of a diver... morese selection of viewpoints/ inspirations that all fall under the theme of enhancing one's spiritual-actualization. Best of all, these three parts are interwoven randomly throughout the book, which supplies an engaging storyline for the reader. My favorite analogy is on pages 25-27 where Mr. Simmons explains money's insecurity through the comparison of a pimp vs. a nun's approach to contentment. He says, "Never forget that money is more like a ho and happiness like the nun. To get pure happiness, you're going to have to really give of your self." This single statement leads to his book's greatest discovery that true happiness can't be bought - it can only be gifted to one's self through the act of selfless love and the discipline of hard work. Moreover, that gift can start right now, where you are in your life's journey, or as stated by the great Lao Tsu: "To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders" (p. 31).My greatest 'Aha Moment' is the realization that meditation can paved the way to eternal stillness of being. Our self-worth should include moments of stillness to reconnect to the lifeline of our story's purpose, and indirectly, greatness of being. Thank you for that reminder Mr. Simmons. Sincerely, Hermy less
