Customer Reviews

Inspiring, truly soul nourishing

This book is wonderful. I bought it a few years ago when I was just browsing and not really looking for anything special. The title drew me in. This culmination of writers and various points of view on how to nourish your soul really makes you think. It's helped me find peace in so many ways. It's helped remind me what is important in life and how to be good to myself.

This is a book you will refer to over and over again!

I picked up this book when I was at a low point in my life. It awakened me to a new way of seeing - both myself and the world around me. Handbook for the soul is a wonderful collection of short essays, by various people, all with the same message. It is one of my most favourite books and I highly recommend it!

Great book for anyone looking for "something more"

This is an excellent anthology of essays by many accomplished scholars (see the list of names above). Some are psychotherapists, some former ministers, and some psychiatrists; many are simply inspirational writers. This is a calming book with eclectic selections that will suit most tastes.

Thought provoking essays on the soul.

Anything Richard Carlson lays his hands on is worth considering reading. Each essay offers a philsophical view worth pondering guiding the perseptive reader closer to the inner self. The wealth of information well surprasses the few dollars spent on this compilation.

A wonderful, warm, heartlifting avenue back to your Soul!

I highly recommend Handbook for the Soul, by Richard Carlson and Benjamin Shield, as an avenue back to the peacefulness of oneself. The book authorizes us to take time for ourselves and encourages us to nourish/replenish our soul. It assists the reader in finding the road to meditation or simply take a few moments for rejuvenation from the hectic, busy schedule we lead in this day and age. My sister-in-law introduced me to this book and gave her copy to me as a gift. I'm sending her a new copy since it's a book she shouldn't be without
