Goodreads review by Courtney on May 13, 2022

Quotes

"Refreshingly honest, [Michal] doesn't project a veneer of perfection but rather shatters the illusion that perfection is something to strive for. The format of the book allows for self-reflection at one's own pace, making it very approachable for readers of any or no religious persuasion."  – Booklist

"This is a magnificent book – combining the best of rigorous self-reflection, professional and personal counsel and Jewish wisdom. Michal Oshman shows, in this beautifully construed, wisely informed and always engrossing work, how Jewish wisdom can serve its intended purpose – practical guidance – en route to making one's life happier, more fulfilling and better." – Mark Gerson, Co-Founder and Chairman, United Hatzalah and author of the Los Angeles Times bestseller, The Telling

"Reading this beautiful book is like sitting with a wise friend who is helping you make sense of your life. In drawing on the insights of Jewish tradition, Michal Oshman shows us how to nurture our souls, the 'flame within a shell,' and turn pain into growth. Read this book gratefully, and then give it to someone you love." – Yossi Klein Halevi, Senior Fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute and author of the New York Times bestseller, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor
