Moving Mountains & Building Bridges

Barry Neil Kaufman has written many inspirational and moving books and this one is no exception. In this one, he provides readers with descriptions of his life with his father and how he would later apply Option approaches in his own life. I just love this book. It is about moving mountains; building bridges; inspiring hope and reinforcing joy. This book is like a beautiful sunrise - bright, new, fresh and hopeful. It might even make you cry. It makes me think of Mike & the Mechanics' 1989 hit "The Living Years" which is about a father and son who initially don't see eye to eye. This book is about how a father and son converted a strained relationship into an openly loving one. As a father, Barry Neil Kaufman is, from all accounts an extremely loving person. That comes through in his writings and in the things his family says. This book generates new hope of the possibilities and options available in restoring and repairing relationships. The entire tone of the book is gentle and positive. If you are looking for a good place to take away some life lessons, then this book is for you.

An Inspirational & Moving Family Memoir

No Regrets has moved me in so many ways. I loved being part of Barry Neil Kaufman's experience, through this book, as he reconciled with his estranged father at the announcement of his dad's terminal illness. I really appreciate how he turns challenges into opportunities, how he models that one can change beliefs in an instant, and how and why to give control to our aging, ill, or dying parents. I'm so glad I read this book before I have to face the same experience. Now I know I'll be with my parents in a way that is honoring to them, honoring to me, and I know that it will be an opportunity to deepen our relationship. But why wait? I'll put these principles to work right now.I highly recommend this book.
