The concept of Living Light as a Feather comes from an ancient Egyptian myth that elucidates the belief that only a worthy person can enter eternity. In order to measure a person’s worthiness, upon death the heart is placed on a scale and the soul can only live forever if the heart is as light as a feather. A few years after writing Time for Joy (over 231,000 sold), Ruth lost her son to suicide and the joy left her life. After suffering immeasurable grief and questioning how she could possibly have written such a book, she created a process through which readers can find joy under any circumstance. This is an inspiring yet practical book that shows readers the secret to finding joy and living lightly, and how to recognize true purpose.

Ruth Fishel and illustrator Bonny Van de Kamp show us that when we can let go of fear and be present in the moment, miracles can happen. This is a must for anyone who is depressed, discouraged or simply in need of some inspiration to move on to the next step in their lives.

Are there parts of your life you would like to change? Are there places you would like to go? Things you would like to do? Have you been looking for a purpose in your life? Do you sometimes wonder why some people seem to get all the breaks when you get very few or none at all? Does life ever seem like an ongoing struggle? How many times have you wanted something to happen in your life and it didn’t? Or even if almost everything is going just the way you want, is there something you would like to add or subtract from your life? 
If you can say yes to any of these questions, there’s a very good chance that this book can help you. I say, can help you, not, will help you, because whether it does or doesn’t is up to you! The techniques in this book definitely can help you. But you have to be willing to change. Or at least be willing to be willing to change. Do you really want to let go of the old ways that haven’t worked to find the courage to try new ones? 
We can’t always get what we want. Life just doesn’t work that way. And, what we want is not always the best for us. But by making only one difference in your life, your life can get better. You can have more of what you want. You can let go of some of your struggle. The question is, are you willing to put your energy and commitment into making a change?

I’ve witnessed others experience remarkable results including healing from major illnesses, and no longer needing medication for diabetes and Attention Deficit Disorder. Addicts have become clean and sober, stopped smoking, given up gambling and over-spending. Students have passed exams they were sure they would fail. Fights have been avoided. Resentments have been healed. And many, many people have found peace of mind, improved their self-esteem, and made a deeper spiritual connection and a more meaningful purpose in their lives. So go for it! Have some fun with this book and make changes that will add quality, serenity, happiness and joy to your life. You’re worth it!

Self-Esteem

Peace begins with us! When the world is at its most threatening and uncertainty reigns, it comforts us to know that mindful living is still within our grasp. Peace in Our Hearts, Peace in the World helps us come to a full and deep understanding of our own thoughts, actions, limitations, and strengths—and the effect they have on the world at large. Ruth Fishel serves as our wonderfully effective guide through this year-long journey of introspection, reflection, and resolution. Her daily encouragement to appreciate the most basic things in life—waking up, brushing our teeth, the breaths we take—alternate with thoughts on relationships, choice, and personal responsibility. A thought-provoking quote accompanies each meditation: Fishel draws these wise words from sources old and new, ranging from Buddhism to new spiritual writings by Eckhart Tolle, Christina Feldman, and Deepak Chopra. Small enough to travel with, and beautifully designed, this book makes inspirational reading available anytime, anywhere. Readers will find its comforting presence a constant reminder of the maxim that drives this motivational collection: if there is peace in our hearts, there may indeed one day be peace in the world.
