Melody Beattie: Stop Being Mean to Yourself
Stop Being Mean to Yourself: A Story About Finding The True Meaning of Self-Love by Melody BeattieMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have this on audiotape, wish I had it on cd and in book form. I loved this book/audio. If you liked Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, you'll definitely like this one. If you didn't like that book, you might enjoy this anyway...

Winifred Watson: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (and 3 other books)
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred WatsonMy review
was watching the "special features" on the DVD of the movie and found out it was a book from that. Her son has commentary in the "how it came to be" type section. And it was pointed out that she sold the movie rights 3 times! Each time, something came up and shelved it. One time, Billie Burke (? I think), the one that played the Gilda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz" was to play Miss Pettigrew, the role in the movie is played by Frances McDormand (again spelling, not at me swiftest this morning, LOL)
The author was told that this novel was too risque to print at the time, and the only way they would print is if she wrote another book as well, so she did and they did...
So now I know about the book, and would love to read it and the other 3 she wrote.

From Goodreads:
A guide for those seeking a meaningful spiritual path while living everyday lives full of families, work, and friends. Vajragupta gives clear explanations of Buddhist teachings and the necessary guidance on how to apply these to enrich our busy and complex lives. The personal stories, examples, exercises, and questions in this book help transform Buddhist practice into more than just a fine set of ideals. They make the path of ethics, meditation, and wisdom a tangible part of our lives.
Vajragupta, born Richard Staunton in London, is experienced in teaching Buddhism to students of all ages.
