Gift of Peace: Guideposts on the Road to Serenity

Drawing from wisdom learned in 12-step meetings and from his own meditations, Stein reveals the guideposts that have taken him to a life incomparably more serene and uncomplicated than it was 16 years ago. The lessons are about surrender to God, turning envy around, realizing one's own unimportance in the universe, and achieving humility through actions as well as thoughts. Think of this book as a lifetime supply of non-addictive, no-side-effect tranquilizers and antidepressants and you have it just about right. Thorough, repeated readings of these homilies, especially upon waking and at bedtime, offer genuine calm and peace. $12.95
