Customer Reviews

There isn't a person in the world who couldn't benefit from reading this book

If you're checking out this review, you're interested in becoming a better person, or as Kelly says, a better version of yourself. Kudos. This book will help you do it. It has brought a certain clarity to my inner monologue that I have never before felt. And just so you know, I've read so many self-help books and books on seeking happiness I can't begin to list them here. (Relatively) Recently written books like "The 7 habits" and Dale Carnegie's "How to", all the way to Existentialist writers like Camus and enlightened thinkers such as Thoreau and ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. Whether or not you have, this book will put all the others into perspective. It will show you how those books, and this one, will help you on your journey of becoming the best version of yourself, and the byproduct (happiness) which comes from embracing this journey. One last note...I subscribe to no particular faith, and I have avoided reading Kelly despite some of my friends recommendations because his books are always in the Christian section of the book store. I guarantee you that whether you are a born again Christian or an agnostic, this book can help you. I don't know how else to put it: I give this book my strongest recommendation. You will do well to read it.

Matthew Kelly - An Inspiring Role Model

The title may not reveal it, but this book of Matthew Kelly's might make a good graduation gift idea. Especially for a high school student who lacks a little self confidence or remains unsure about their future plans. The Rhythm Of Life has a way of focusing the reader's mind on the things that really matter in life. In the end it will motivate anyone to strive for personal greatness. I found the book to be very insightful and easy to relate to. This is one that is worth reading, discussing and passing on to others.

Change your life

This book changed the way I looked at life. It is very hard to find anything that can impact you as much. Very ahead of his time, yet renewing long lost wisdom, Matthew encourages the reader with very real challenges to improve their life in every aspect. A must for someone searching for renewal, or for a person just wanting a little more out of life.

Slow down, listen and live...

Matthew Kelly speaks to a deep need in all of us. We are all searching for some deeper experience, some stronger connection. His message is clear and simple: speak less, listen more, and trust in God.I recommend you read this and all of Matthew's works. But don't read with the simple goal of finishing. Read to understand and to be moved to change daily habits. Your life will change in ways you never imagined.Matthew is truly a spiritual great. But, like all true spiritual leaders he seeks no fame or wealth. Rather, he calls all of us to go inside of ourselves and to listen to God's call to us. God's door is open...we need merely knock.
