Journey Beyond Hardship: A Practical, Hopeful Guide For Getting Through Tough Times

I enjoyed reading this book as it was informative and also inspiring. It would make a good present for someone going through a life changing situation.

The book is written well, is easy to read and over all gives solid useful advice through the use of metaphor and intellectual and experiential wisdom. Too, the book interjects a somewhat spiritual (but not religious) undertone, so if you have an aversion to a Higher Self or a God as Source, you may find parts (but not all) difficult to relate to. That said, it has much more than that to offer as guidance through the difficult roads of life.

This book offered clarity and hope at a difficult time in my life. As I experienced multiple hardships at once my inner world was chaotic and frightening and the journey metaphor offered a practical approach and first steps and is easy to understand. I'm now rereading both this book and Journey Beyond Diagnosis as they are packed with good stuff and have many layers. Still on round two I'm comforted by curling up somewhere cozy with this book.
