Repacking your Bags

Repacking your Bags

by Richard J Leider and David A Shapiro

The book is a self-help self-improvement book. Throwing light upon the excess baggage that most of us burden ours lives with. The authors help us to lighten the load. It deals with the overflowing amount of physical baggage we accumulate over time. It also sheds light on un-necessary worries and doubts that cloud the mind. Divided into chapters the book guides us in easy steps towards a life that is more spontaneous and less painful. 


My empty jute bag
 To tell you the truth I approached this book as O no, yet another attempt to improve me! The book is a little tedious. And not very easy to read. But I did find some fabulous tips. I particularly liked these ...

• A vacation from words (we use about 5000 in a day!) – a day of silence would calm the mind and allow flow of refreshing thoughts.

• Traveling together is a wonderful way to get to know each other. Faults and foibles get magnified.

• Questions on pages 45 and 46 offer a flash of insight into what makes you, YOU.

It definitely makes us take a relook at our attitude to life and changes what we spend a lot of thought on.
