The Five secrets of Oz by Steve garrison is a self-help book in storybook form. It’s a unique and very powerful way to deliver advise. Instead of giving the reader lists of things they need to do to improve their lives, Garrison gives you the stories of people that you can identify with who meet “Oz”, an older man who shows them five secrets to changing their lives. There are times when each of us finds ourselves in a rut. This book will make you reflect and has a spirit that will move you to take action in your own life. Unlike some self-help books that can come across as preachy, this book will help you fill yourself with “light”. It is a rare book these days that has you find happiness and direction within yourself instead of looking for it in outside sources. 4 out of five stars.

Kinda like The Ultimate Gift or maybe Og Mandino's books?
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's so hard to find that peace and happiness within rather than looking outside. What a great reminder. Sometimes I want a HAPPY to happen, to improve my mood. Tsk, tsk. It's all INSIDE. All of it. All that we need! (With the exception of real, genuine FRIENDS!)
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Oz. Good place to go to find yourself I guess.
ReplyDeleteKerry -It does promote a little soul searching.
ReplyDeleteDiane- And in a way it is like the Ultimate Gift. I haven't read the Mandino.
Crystal- Good Point. I think sometimes we are afraid to look within because we aren't sure we will like what we find and we are so hard on ourselves that we are unsure of if we can make ourselves happy, and then what. I think we surprise ourselves when we do look inside and realize that as you said, it's all inside, all that we need. Being social creautres we need the companionship of others to bring it out.
