Summary: I hope there's more to be awakened....
Review: I wonder if I read the same book as the other reviewers. This collection of generally religious thoughts on various relevant midlife topics such as loss of parents, surgery, friends, and continued growth, didn't go beyond the suface and the obvious. While its brevity makes it easy to pick up, I feel it comes up short on depth and stimulation. The Chicken Soup for the Soul book series is so much more real, thought-provoking, motivating and inspiring.

Summary: A must share
Review: This book is a must share. Barbara Bartocci address feelings we all have at one time or another. While the title refers to midlife, I am in my late 30's and found several of the reflections applicable to my life. I am going to send copies to several of my friends both over and under 40 years.

Summary: You'll be glad to own this book.
Review: This is a good book to keep around, along with extra copies to give as gifts. It's small, almost a handbook. It's a handy reference, as topics ("envy," "giving," "rejection," etc.) are addressed alphabetically and the layout is straightforward. It's inexpensive. It's homey and authentic and downright fun to read. And it's not just for the religious; the anecdotes and parables will benefit anyone who's looking for tips on how to live right.
