Customer Reviews
Wisdom to make life easier (5 stars)
Rabbi Twerski is a heralded psychologist one of the foremost experts on treating Addiction in the world. He is also a very learned Rabbi and prolific author . In this work he writes a series of small essays, little meditations all with the aim of helping the individual make life easier and better. Some of the titles of the essays give a fair idea of the kind of book this is." May you have many worries" "Behind at Half Time" "Who wants to be Married to a Loser?" " It all depends on how you see it."
"Avoid the Need for Regrets" "Take Things in Perspective"
The approach of dealing with the small things in life in a wise way , of having proper priorities is at the heart of the book.
Rabbi Twerski's deep Jewish knowledge is not by the way incidental to the work but informs it and gives it a dimension outside those of most self- help works.
Wisdom from a Rabbi who is also a physician (5 stars)
Rabbi Twerski is a remarkable man. Although he is a very orthodox Jew, he became a physician as well as a Rabbi. His field is psychiatry and he combines his two professions to give great advice in short chapters, generally about two pages. This book is a little like "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," with a twinge of the religious aspect added in. Nonetheless, Rabbi twerski's observations are universal and would be of interest to non Jewish as well as Jewish readers.
High quality and SHORT (5 stars)
The book is full of 1 page wonders with great information of all aspects of life, specifically pertaining to Judaism.
