If you are looking to change the way you view your life and bring peace into it then, Your Daily Walk With the Great Minds by Richard A. Singer, JR. is the book for you. It truly is a daily walk with great minds. Everyday is layed out for you beginning the first of January and ending the last day of December. It is full of great quotes, daily meditations, and even journal space for you to write your goals and thoughts. With the space for you to journal your own thoughts you can then look back at the progress you are making. The daily quotes are an inspiration to keep you going and to understand your journey along the way. The meditations, being what they, bring peace and strength to transform your way of thinking. The whole purpose is to change and if you open this book with an open mind and truly follow the daily walk then you will no doubt be inspired to change.
This book is full of great quotes but a few of my favorites include:
"Learn to let go. That is the key to happiness." - Buddha
"Put your future in good hands, your own." - Unknown
"Children are our most valuable natural resource." - Herbert Hoover
The book starts the journey of daily lessons on January first and goes through everyday for an entire year. That seems like a long time to read and stay with a book but if other readers are like me they will actually look forward to the refreshing and inspiring change of your daily life. I started from the beginning of the book and just changed the date myself so I would not get confused on the actual day of the book. It works and it does help change your thought patterns. We get stuck in old ways and a book that brings inspiration and peace to our daily lives is worth reading. Be open and take your time reading through it and I promise in the end you will feel more enlightened with wisdom to love your life. I recommend this book to all that are ready for change.

I have to say I did feel good as soon as I opened ‘Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds’ and began reading. The book is broken out by months, and each day is set with a specific quote, a mediation that is in relation to that quote, there is a personal journaling question to help you to define your feelings and thoughts and last, an affirmation. One that I liked is this (especially as I feel we can all do well with more peace in our life.):
‘First keep the peace within yourself, and then you can also bring peace to others’ by Thomas Kempis.
The meditation states that you cannot have peace around you if you do not have it inside you, first.
For the personal journaling, you are asked “how will you create peace in your inner life today?”.
The affirmation is ‘Today, I will remember that my external life is created from within’.
Many of these quotes are similar to the above. However, I was disappointed in a few things. First, as this is a daily guide, I would have preferred the ‘date’ to be eliminated. (For the quote above, that was listed under ‘May 24’). Many times I personally become confused as I am not sure I am harming ‘the program’ if I am not starting it on the right day. I am asking myself questions and wondering if I am lacking something or wondering if I should back-track the previous dates and ‘catch up’.
My second issue was the recommend book list. The recommended book list includes such books as: The Power of Positive Thinking: A practical book teaching you to energize your life and give you the initiative you need to carry out your desires, as well as to be nice to yourself. The Power of Intention: From what information I could gather, this book helps one to have in mind, a purpose or plan that can align with the universe so that it can happen. The majority resonates on this scale and I can agree to why they are recommended. A few books, “Tuesdays with Morrie” and “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, I would not really expect on this list. Yes, they both represent meaning that can relate, but in my own personal opinion, I would find “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” to be much better suited for the work and changes Mr. Singer is presenting to us and very surprised that neither is listed on his recommended reading list.
Otherwise, this would be a good start for someone that was once the way I used to be: Negative, depressed, and just normally ‘down’ all the time on everything. As someone that once was that way, I know what a person must invest to make that positive change for a sense of well-being. I have been there and I did it. Granted, I did it before I encountered Richard’s pocket book “Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds”, but that does not mean I am not still seeking to make sure I am the best mother, wife, therapist and person I can be for those that rely on me.
