A compendium of bite-sized inspirations features ways to release negativity and return to a path of love and tranquility.

Debut author and medium Daniel compiles a series of soulful, stirring thoughts in this guide to connected and compassionate living. Written in short, paragraph-long entries, the book is easy to digest and can be opened at any point on any page to discover a beneficial thought or idea. Each one is attributed to “TttA”—“The truth through Anna.” The work is designed to allow upbeat spirits to reach readers through the author’s conscious channeling. Topics range from aging wisely and renewing one’s energy to sharing love, employing discipline, and cherishing life. Yet some of the paragraphs contain warnings about the distractions of society. In one passage, TttA cautions, “Manipulation and mind control is appearing everywhere, so beware. Stay alert and let the forces of nature aid you.” She continues: “Many working for the light have been attacked and disturbed. Guide and support each other until the dawn breaks. Most conditions at present are temporary. So wait until clearing is given.” These sections read less as horoscopes assigned to a particular day and more as tidbits of wisdom designed to keep the audience focused on accepting the world. A reader might choose to peruse one part each morning to set an agenda for the day, or to embrace the book as a reminder to get back on track when pessimism or fear creeps in. It could even be used as an entry point to mediation or prayer. A common theme is to allow love and compassion to dominate over worry and anxiety—a highly relevant and universal piece of advice for readers dealing with contemporary societal pressures and conflicts. Overall, the volume provides constructive suggestions that could apply universally to an individual during any moment of life: reminders to love, suggestions to relax, and encouragements to enjoy life.

A positive and useful collection of spiritual tips from a medium.
