Author Kris King advises us there are five different ways to view this book, ensuring you’ll find a way that suits you. I chose to go with the third option - this meant opening the book at any page and seeing what you could “find for yourself in the moment.” This way is called synchronicity and worked well for me.


The first page I opened spoke of how we don’t need specific dates to tell our close ones we love them. As long as we acknowledge each other every day and tell each other we care, this is all that truly matters.


The next section after this is what I call a reflection questionnaire - there are questions which you answer regarding how you feel and what your desires in life are. Most of the answers I could provide yet some I just didn’t know.


However one question I came across on page 218 really jumped out at me: “do you ever feel as if you were watching your own life go by? That your life isn’t really about you, it’s going on without you? You can see it happening ‘out there’ and yet you are not there?” How absolutely correct! You will feel the same with many of the other questions you are asked.


King strikes me as a writer who has much understanding of life.

After her son died she started to do the things she’d always dreamed of, traveling and climbing mountains, meeting other less fortunate people and learning from them that despite hunger, homelessness and disease they were happy just being themselves.

I found a really clever passage that Mrs King personally wrote after the death of her son, Matthew: “Every exit, is an entrance, to somewhere else.”


Throughout this book there are lots of quotes that make you go “wow” that is just like me. King has an understanding of life and love and loss and appears to be a very spiritual woman. Her questions and answers make you look at your life in steps and work out what you desire most.

The beautiful photographs throughout really finish this off well. I would thoroughly recommend this as a present, if you know someone who is into this way of thinking.

I greatly enjoyed this one and the pretty front cover certainly catches your eye.


A book to learn and live by.
