  • “Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds of the Past and Present” by Richard A. Singer Jr. truly is a chance to glean knowledge from those people in history who have been looked upon as wise. This isn’t a sit down for hours study of the words of wisdom until you’ve memorized them book. This is a daily stroll down the lane with some of the most interesting minds of our times.

    “Hear” them speak one of their thoughts (A chosen quote) and then contemplate the meaning of it with the help of Richard Singer (a meditation or paragraph describing what to be mindful of that day) and a journaling prompt to bring the point at hand closer to you. Each day is another beginning, and each day you take one page at a time rather than trying to devour an entire book of guru-speak Taking these little steps reminds me of the quote used in the book: “Each night I go to sleep I die and the next morning when I wake up I am reborn again.” -- Ghandi

    Each month starts with a new title of recommended reading to accompany your reflections in the journal. Each day is a new chance to visualize change in self.

    It is the author’s intention to help his readers to grow – to become what the universal energy has intended them to be. Through his work, as one person makes changes in their life they will in fact influence others to make changes, and so on. The goal of the book is to make a significant change in the souls of the world. Taking these little steps, day by day, is sure to have an impact. The reader’s goal will be to grow, to simply enjoy the moment of contemplation, and I can see that it will happen. This is a powerful book, a tool for inner peace.

    Compiled here are quotes from Ghandi, Ben Franklin, Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Booker T. Washington, Mark Twain and many more. Inspiration comes from the reflection of the message, from being true to your soul’s purpose to being kind and loving to those around you. The feel is non-secular, but very much in tuned with what is called the universal energy. The tone is compassionate, compelling and caring.

    For those who are looking to make a change, or just a journal to enjoy, for those who are into learning from the teachers in their lives along their chosen path and for those who have never given spiritual growth a single thought, this book is for you. Enjoy it, give it as a gift, and watch the transformation of humanity.
