“When I reflect on great contemporary works of the human experience, I think of Victor Frankl's MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING. I recall I AM THAT by Sri Nisargadatta Majaraj. I call to mind AWARENESS by Fr. Anthony de Melo. And now I add LIVING A PEACEFUL LIFE by Dr. Robert Puff to the list, which is available in the delightfully modern format of the digital download. Anyone interested in fully embracing life should listen to this pithy, straight-to-the-heart podcast. And even if you aren't interested, try it, I ensure that you'll like it. Like all of Dr. Puff's works the podcast's delivery is gentle, but the message is of profound relevance to all of us who seek deeper meaning in our lives. If Dr. Puff's book ANGER WORK is an essential guide to navigating through our everyday existence, then LIVING A PEACEFUL LIFE is the comprehensive follow-up that answers the question, "What's the next step?" This doesn't mean that you have to read or listen to ANGER WORK first. LIVING A PEACEFUL LIFE stands alone. Dr. Puff starts off by sharing about an experience he had working with an elderly woman who lived in a nursing home. She was alone--her husband and her son had died, her grandson was a drug addict, and she was plagued by multiple health problems. Despite her setbacks, Dr. Puff describes her as one of the happiest people he has ever met. Why? Her life had meaning, she spent her days helping those around her. She accepted "what is" and by doing so found peace and happiness. He provides additional examples and insights throughout the podcast. By the end, you can't help but want to plunge into your life taking his "what is" approach. A wise teacher once said, "You can't like Hollywood but reject the horror films." Dr. Puff's podcast teaches you to love life, to be at peace with yourself regardless of your circumstances, and to fully embrace every moment. I encourage you to listen to his lecture and experience for yourself the life that awaits you. ”
