Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books they received during the previous week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists! Mailbox Monday, which was started by Marcia at The Printed Page, is on blog tour—this month, it’s hosted by Julie at Knitting and Sundries.I received one book for review this
past week: The Wisdom to Know the Difference: When to Make a Change—and When to Let Go by Eileen Flanagan, which was sent to me by the author for a TLC Book Tour.Here’s part of the blurb on the back:
Millions of people have been moved by [the] famous lines from the Serenity Prayer to make important and lasting changes in their lives. But how, exactly, can we know the difference? How can we acknowledge the real limits that human beings face, without negating the possibility for dramatic change? In this wise book, Eileen Flanagan guides readers in discovering what they can—or perhaps should—change in their lives and accepting what they cannot. These lessons come to life through the inspiring stories of individuals Flanagan interviewed for this book, including a Hurricane Katrina survivor who describes how she learned inner peace the hard way and a man who shares what he learned about letting go from the car accident that left him paralyzed.

I hope you enjoy this, I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a book I could use! Looking forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that 'real people' are telling their stories. Quite often, self-hope books seem to be so one-sided and blowsy that I put them aside after a few pages or so. Enjoy the read!

This sounds like a really powerful read. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
