If you have every wondered how to start finding peace within yourself, look no further than this book. Mr. Singer’s book gives you the tools to change your life and be inspired to live each day to its’ fullest.  Day by day this book expands on wisdom imparted by a surprisingly diverse group of people, from well known spiritual leaders such as Gandhi to Jackie Collins, popular author.  Mr. Singer provides you with a daily meditation based on the thought of the day.  Questions for thought and personal journaling, as well as affirmations to carry throughout the day, round off each day’s mediations and help you find answers to your life questions.  Also provided each month is a suggested reading that enhances the daily enlightenment exercises.

Mr. Singer walks the reader through his strategies for transformation.  These include:

Modeling - gaining insight from the quotes and the people who said them,
Bibiotherapy - reading to gain knowledge and insight,
Mindfulness - applying the daily guidance throughout the day,
Journaling - express your thoughts and feelings in a personal notebook,
Visualizations- visualizing your transformation each day will help you achieve the results you want, and
Affirmations - internalizing and applying these truths throughout the day.

I found this book very easy to read.  Every day’s meditation can be completed in a few minutes.  Subject and author indexes are provided should you have need for a specific topic of meditation on any given day.  The suggested monthly readings fit well with the meditations and feature some of my favorite inspirational books. Each day’s meditations, journaling exercise and affirmations related to some aspect of my life and challenged me to look inside myself and find my purpose.  Every message was inspirational and left me wanting more.  I found it impossible to read only one day at a time, even on my busiest days.  I read the entire book in less than a week.  Now, I look forward to each morning’s message and journaling.  Already I can say that I am further down the road to inner peace than before picking up this wonderful book, “Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds.”
