A Book for Life: Ten Steps to Inner Happiness is a treasure trove of wisdom from various traditions, ranging from Shamanism to Buddha's philosophy, and Zen to Western philosophy, all of which are intertwined with a plethora of ancient parables. Serving as a light house, Jo's book is a guide to discovering one's aptitude along the journey of life, towards the goal suitable to each person's disposition and mental proclivities. I highly recommend this book. Geshe Dorji Damdul, Former Translator to H.H. the Dalai Lama, Director/Tibet House, Cultural Center of H.H. the Dalai Lama, New Delhi

What I absolutely love about this book is that Jo Bowlby draws on her deep experience in both the spiritual Teachings and modern psychology and translates it for people like us - into easy to understand practical tools we can apply in daily life. In a way she's done the deep research and homework for us - so it's a bit like a cheat sheet! A wealth of information and tools in there. Sahar Hashemi, OBE, Founder of Coffee Republic and Skinny Candy, and Keynote Speaker

Zesty, like a tangerine to be peeled in mindful contemplation. Simple yet all-enveloping, like an attractive blue sky. Flowing like water. As intriguing as the finest thriller. Charming and surprising, like a shooting star. Nourishing like honey. Ancient and full of energy, like a volcano. Jo's book is an offer of freedom to dance our way home: a true and truthful balm of practical wisdom on the "simple" art of life. Nicoletta Fiorucci Russo De Li Galli, Philanthropist and Contemporary Art Collector

The most exciting book to be published for years, this is a guide to the art of life - it is absolutely beautiful. Start now! Kate Reardon, Editor in Chief, The Times LUXX Magazine

Really enjoying this. Not your usual self-help book. It's succinct, very well written and not selling nonsense. Highly recommended.
