"Let It Be Easy!"

Today, I'm doing a book review because I was so impressed with the simplicity of the information yet the profoundness of the writer's knowledge and wisdom. I've been on a journey of increasing my awareness of the world and my place in it and this book just said it all in very few words.

I just read through, on my first pass, a book my great friend Laura recommended I read, "Let It Be Easy", by Tolly Burkan. If you are a student of personal development, this is a must read! It takes all of the other books and concepts and condenses it into 11 different areas in which to improve your life and live to your potential.

"Let It Be Easy" is only 130 pages long so you're able to read it in a very short period of time. However, as I stated earlier, this is just a first pass and I can see myself reading this multiple times to concentrate on one area at a time. If you are a student of personal development, I know you understand re-reading the same book to "see" what you may have overlooked before or what you now "get" that you didn't previously!

As a financial adviser, this particular sentence struck me as the one thing I see in the world around me: "Many people allow their quality of life to deteriorate because their financial prosperity has misled them into believing that they were winning, when they were actually losing" ["Let It Be Easy", Burkan, 2005]. This book is not on finance but about your entire lifestyle and how it affects you and your place in the Universe.

The last advice it gives is to share the book with your circle of friends and, so, I hope you will all take the time to grab a copy of this awesome little book and "Let It Be Easy" for you!


As always, share your thoughts as they are welcome!
