I always look forward to reading the Daily Om on my email, so was eagerly waiting for Daily OM: Inspirational Thoughts for a Happy, Healthy and Fulfilling Day to be published.

It did not let me down. Madisyn Taylor has written a guide book to help raise your conscious awareness and find serenity, peace and wholeness.

This book is truly a gift for your body, mind and soul. Pick it up whenever you need to feel centered and in the present. I intend to keep a copy on my desk for those stressful moments...

Daily Om covers numerous topics, including mediation, nature and relationships.

I was most impressed with the section on Mother Nature, because our connection to nature is so crucial to our well being. Additionally, awareness and respect of animals, plants and the environment makes us aware of its frailty and we become more likely to act as the stewards of the planet that we are.

This book encourages the reader to discover their purpose in life and is a very satisfying read.

By the author of the award winning book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet

Going green for fun and profit
This book lists 50 ways you can make your life greener. Readers who are already convinced of the need to act ecologically will be its best audience. The ideas are useful, if not deeply innovative. Most of them will indeed help the environment and save you money. And that's a good thing. However, author David Bach (writing with Hillary Rosner) uses many semi-statistical claims without giving enough data or context to lend meaning to his numbers, though they may still encourage true environmental action believers. Some of the book's statistical conclusions are based on fairly unrealistic extrapolations of averages. For example, saying that the average family works two to four months out of the year to drive, insure, fuel and maintain its cars does not seem to capture the fiscal realities and practical options truly available to such families. Bach's real message, of course, is to drive thoughtfully, save money and go easy on the planet, so getAbstract suggests focusing on the good to be done, and being a little forgiving about the math.
