Each chapter in this short book is divided into two or three page sections - each of which is a perfect little spiritual tapas item; consuming too many at once is not advised. The book is filled with lovely vignettes illustrating the theme, and I found myself often thinking of the text throughout the day. Silver's central message is about letting the Divine take the lead, and - flaky though it may sound - it's just great.

This isn't the type of book I'd normally pick up, but I liked it and the message was timely. The author focuses on a strain of spirituality present in most of the world's major religions, which is to simply trust in the universe and stop trying to control every outcome. Intuition and openness are almost always better guides than will. And people do attract whatever they spend a lot of time thinking about, whether that's positive or negative.

The author has an easy, conversational tone, and a good dose of wit. Like this, from page 180:


In a way, we're each here to express the music of our soul. So if yours sounds like jazz, then be jazz. If it's shaku-hachi flute, be that. If Black Sabbath, then what the hell, how'd you find this book anyway?
