Summary: Living on Purpose
Comment: Best-selling author and lecturer Dan Millman refers frequently to the "House Rules" when responding to questions in Living On Purpose: Straight Answers to Life's Tough Questions. He explains that the House is life or reality and the Rules are universal laws, adding that "the House Rules presented in this book-distilled lessons from the school of life-provide reliable strategies for living on purpose."

Millman has divided his book into twenty-five short sections. Each section begins with a general question about life, such as "why do I sometimes cause problems while doing what I feel is right?" These are answered with one of the House Rules, such as "Timing is Everything." An explanation of the House Rule and how it may be applied follows.

After that comes two specific questions people have asked him on subjects as varied as free will, metaphysics, child rearing, health, and money. He answers these with practical examples, often using his own life, or with illuminating anecdotes and parables. Many of his answers include humor along with the insights.

He finishes each section with "personal applications" in which people are encouraged to complete two or three simple exercises designed "to test these House Rules in your own experience; tailor them to fit your particular circumstances."

While he isn't a channeler, Millman does say that his answers come through him, not from him. He also says he isn't giving people wisdom that they don't already have, instead he's helping them search within for their own truths.

"In Living On Purpose, Dan Millman combines the wisdom of Solomon with the common sense touch of Dear Abby, taking on real-world questions with the insight and knowledge that have drawn millions of readers to his books." It's an essential reference for anyone seeking practical guidance in answering the difficult questions faced every day.

Summary: Life as an opportunity.
Comment: Dan Millman's LIVING ON PURPOSE provides a clear and simply structured view of what Millman calls "House Rules," guiding principles for living one's life on purpose rather than by accident. Each chapter presents a House Rule, then a clarifying summary of the rule, two related question/answers, and a personal exercise page. I found the tone of the book supportive and compassionate. The anecdotes are light-hearted and helpful. Some of the ideas I was particularly struck by include: "If we wait for the perfect moment to come alive, we may discover that we never lived at all," and "By paying attention to the present moment, and the next, and the next, we determine the quality of our lives."

LIVING ON PURPOSE gently nudges the reader in the direction of living in the moment. If you are a fan of the power of awareness to dramatically enhance your ability to live fully, I also highly recommend "WORKING ON YOURSELF DOESN'T WORK" by Ariel and Shya Kane. These are books that can make a real difference in the quality of people's lives.

Summary: Great information and advice!
Comment: This is a wonderfully optimistic and inspirational book to read. In my opinion, this is the best book that Dan Millman has written to date. It outlines the virtues of common sense living, how to learn the important lessons from our (and from others') mistakes, and much more.

I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to make a difference!
