Customer Reviews

Perennial wisdom puts life in perspective

I've had this book on my shelf for several years and just picked it up again at a troubling time. I'm happy to report that I started reading at the beginning and felt the positive energy the authors wrote into this book right away. Absolutely sent my blues away. The book has a running narrative about the qualities of delight interspersed with stories from famous authors like James Michener and from ordinary people whose inspiring stories touch your heart as well. Highly recommended for anyone who would like a lift. The authors are excellent writers who certainly know how to elevate your spirits with the written word. Uncommonly good.

This book was a delight!

I bought this book from a second hand store in Australia and loved it! In a space of 3 months I have read it 3 times and refer to it almost daily. It is inspirational, and as a result of this book, I have achieved quite a few goals I had previously thought impossible. If you are in need of some inspiration. positive thoughts and a general "feel-good" read. this is the one. I have since bought a book as a git for a friend who has been feeling miserable - she now has a spring in her step again! Do yourself a favour - read it - every day!

It is the gift I give friends who need to be uplifted.

I bought the book when I was stranded in a small airport with nothing to do and nothing to read. The stories seemed to reach into the dark corners of doubt and I felt an enourmous release. I was going to present new material to an important client and I was extremely nervous. I found that the book made me focus on what I did well, and I found "delight" in the people that I was dealing with. What a difference it made! I now give the book to friends who need to find the balance and delight in their lives.

Everyday wisdom.

'Out of the Blue' is uplifting and full of everyday wisdom, my favorite kind of book. It is a book that falls open at just the right passage to provide valuable insight on whatever is concerning you at the moment. It is also quite capable of jumping off the shelf into your hands if you are browsing while thinking about some problem.
