Simple steps

"Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Bo Lozoff does something about another of our major complaints, the isolation, individualism and crass materialism promoted in modern American culture.
He has done this by providing an exemplar - his own life - and setting out twenty-six specific practices that can still our rancour and increase community and happiness.
Doing is NOT as easy as reading -- but the book lingered with me, and working with just one or two of the practices has, I believe, helped me to be more resilient and more dependable in stressful time, and has helped me make better choices about where to put my energy and resources.

Great Book

Bo Lozoff is a true man of God, Life and a profit for out times. I love all his books from the very beginning and this one is no different. He is a great spiritual teacher and I respect his writing and him.

Bo's books keep getting better

Bo's latest is even clearer and more poignant than his earlier books. In this latest spiritual guide Bo provides insight and valuable complementary exercises to make the reading all that more powerful and effective.

What truly amazes me is how Bo can keep writing with such relevance and power and yet never repeat his earlier books (which I also felt excelled in relevance and power...).

Rather than read as a novel, I've treated this as a workbook, savoring each point and companion exercise and then moving to the next one.

Nuts and Bolts

This book provides the nuts and bolts for a more meaningful life. It has useable ideas for being a better and happier person. I wake up every morning and say, "May I be a simple, humble, kind presence on the earth today." I eat only one portion and it's helping me lose weight. I especially like his ecumenical use of all religions. This book makes sense. I've given copies to friends and family, I read it over and over. It's a wonderful book!

It just takes practice

Invoking Radical Christianity, Buddhist tenets, and a wide and wise approach including many wisdom traditions, Bo Lozoff has written a jewel. Bo interweaves his own story, told with searing honesty, with the promise (to the reader) of learning the habit of radical transformative action. I have begun simple meditation because of this book. It is making all the difference. With this book, you can throw yourself a life-line, benefiting yourself and others. It just takes practice.

Bo Lozoff, who has been named one of America's 100 visionary healers (Utne Reader), offers a one-of-a-kind spiritual handbook for living a meaningful--and thus joyful--life.

In an era when the "fast lane" has taken over the whole highway of life, Bo Lozoff helps each of us discover the "vast lane."The roots of happiness, he says, are not found in the search for success or self-improvement but in a commitment to a personal spiritual practice and an outward practice combined with a compassion and service to others.

Drawing on the interfaith spiritual teachings that he has practiced and taught for the past thirty years, It's a Meaningful Life presents a proven, universal path for tapping the joy and meaning in our everyday lives. From "You Can Do Hard" to "But Enough About Me," Lozoff covers such themes as the difficulty of change, the importance of "being able," and the blessing of having less. Lozoff shows how simple practices--such as a daily morning vow of kindness or a ritual to give away one item when we acquire another--can have a profound effect on ourselves and our world.

It's a Meaningful Life is rich with stories and practical lessons that can awaken everyone to a happier, more fulfilled life.

Praise for Bo Lozoff:

"He will inspire everyone who is as concerned with helping others in trouble as with their own personal improvement."--His Holiness the Dalai Lama
