My life is Changing

I have listened in full to the audible and read in full the book. It’s words are alive. They ring in my ears with things that happen in my every day life. My heart is searching, my mind is reeling with thoughts and my soul is longing for more of mussar and it’s blessed light in my life. Thank you, Rabbi Lapin for introducing me to this boo and beautiful person, Ruchi Koval. Thank you for the newness I feel and new hope I have.

Worth every moment!

This book is incredible. It teaches the essential steps to living a happier, less stressful, and more fulfilling life. The author does as beautiful a job reading her work as she did writing it. This book is great for all ages and can be a great activity for families to read/listen, and talk about together.

Essential life tools

At 72 years old it was really amazing to find these incredible tools to make life a more pleasant place to be . I am not Jewish or and particular religion but I was happy to find out that the application of these only require belief in the human spirit .
I really am grateful you were able
Somehow put into
Words for others to understand how to resolve basic human barriers of human emotion and reactions of every day living.

Highlight of the book!

So important today, with Marxism & Atheists are killing God! The citation where Moïse is negotiating with the Engels to have the Tora for us, human beings! And the reason why we need it, why we need spirituality, is to CIVILIZE us!

Fabulous Book!
