The Promise: Make Your Life Rich by Discovering Your Best Self

I found this book to be an easy way to "relax, "decelerate" and de-stress the mind" as the author puts it. I highly recommend this new book as a compliment to his best selling 8 Minute Meditation. I own them both and have given many as gifts and gotten SUCH good feedback. In times like this they are a must read!

Victor Davich's books are a joy to read. It's like having sitting across from a table talking to you. I found this book to be a great toool in dealing with the "racing thoughts" that we all have in our heads. It's empowering to realize that those thoughts aren't who we "are". I highly recommend this, and all his books for that matter. Get it, you'll be glad you did. John Portland,ME

Victor's third book is a practical guide that teaches the reader how to understand and move past difficult emotions using his clever "Stop, Look and Listen" program. Written with characteristic warmth and humor, this book combines a new twist on meditative strategies with modern cognitive psychology to create an easy-to-use system for understanding tough emotions and navigating the inevitable ups and downs of our lives. The Promise is a wonderful addition to your emotional toolkit. I promise!

It seems simple... but it is not simplistic. Davich does a great job convincing the reader that the "promise" to a happy and full life is something that already exists in each of us. There's no need to search for this promise, as the passion, confidence, goodness and ability to love and be loved are all aready within us. Fulfilling the promise, therefore, is listening to the voice within, then trusting it and calling it into action.

This book contains simple and direct wisdom. Victor's style is straight from the gut. I highly recommend this book as a terrific aid in finding peace and joy in everyday life.
