Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

In an effort to help individuals bring proper spiritual etiquette into a world full of greed, hate, and delusion, psychotherapist and author Richo (How To Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving) offers 52 ways to express kindness and compassion in everyday life. Daily readings open with a single commitment followed by a short commentary containing a practical exercise. For example, the commitment to avoid gossip includes an explanation of why the practice is tempting as well as an exercise for speaking directly to people whose behavior has been unwelcome. The page-long chapters are easy to digest and will undoubtedly assist in achieving positive change. Recommended for most libraries.

    Life-Changing

    Everyday Commitments is a powerful book that can change your life. I discovered Dave Richo¿s books about a year ago and I think they are amazing, each one better than the last. They are full of ¿aha¿ moments, rich with insight, connections, and humor. He draws from an extensive knowledge of many cultural and spiritual traditions, and distills broad concepts into clear simple truths. Everyday Commitments brings these truths home. It is a plan of action and a tool for change. It is a kind and gentle roadmap to our best selves. I gave it to everyone important to me because I know they will like this book as much as I do. What a wonderful place the world would be if everyone read this book and practiced their Everyday Commitments.
