The most powerful book I have read
I read about 30 books a year and this book is about the best I have ever read. It is so powerful, gentle and loving. The writing style is so brilliant that she could be a best selling novelist. But this book is not a novel - it is about examining what is wrong with you and then encouraging you embrace it and heal rather than fear it. This is done with so much love that you feel that Dawna is ...

Opened my eyes to my child's mind!
I picked up this book from an LLL meeting's private library, just for something to read for the month. I never imagined that it was going to change the way I looked at my child! In learning my child's thought pattern (and mine and my husband's as well) I not only discovered how he learns, but reasons for the ways he behaves. When reading the description of a typical person with my child's ...

Finally, focusing on the asset not the deficit
This book has been a godsend to my work with children and youth. Most importantly, the focus on assets versus deficits makes so much sense I can't believe it's not everywhere in the media. Its a very simple concept but its not easy to do and it is a breakthrough idea. We are so programmed to notice all the things that are wrong in our lives, our kids and our society. It seems like this simple 180 ...

Transformative
I loved this book. People complain at times that Markova's prose can be over the top, but I love it. It seems authentic to her, and I can feel that as I read it. Her insights, especially about learning, are brilliant. I think this was released later as "An Open Mind" or something... Anyway, highly recommended!

Life Changing
Profound. That's about it in a nutshell. Friends have picked this book up at my house and then have gone out and bought their own copy. The words just wash over me and are calming to my soul, almost meditative - absolutely not preachy. I read the poem or at least say the words, "I will not die an unlived life" everyday.

More Than 100 Stars Will Shine Brightly into Your Life from This Sturdy Little Volume
First, I don't know about you - but the skeptical side of my 30-plus years in journalism begins to rise when I pick up a new book and find that the author identifies herself on both the front and back covers as "cocreator of `Random Acts of Kindness'." Now, on one level, Dawna Markova's work as a consultant and as the author of an earlier book called, "Random Acts of Kindness," has promoted this ...

Peter Senge's way
Peter Senge's Foreword of this book convinced me to buy it. I discovered on it a refreshing view of the organizational life and interpersonal relationships. As a manager as well as a martial arts practicioner I found a new way to integrate both aspects that enlarged my understanding.
