I have purchased many of Sonia's books and CD's. This is her best to date. Although the other books are similarly written in workbook fashion, this guide is clear, concise and easily read. There are many clear, structured exercises to work through each chapter. Midway through the book is an assessment section to help sort out the many thoughts and feelings you realize as you read. I'd recommend this book for those people connecting to a higher self while living in a chaotic world. Thanks Sonia for your excellent work.

(Hide Review...)  Simply Beautiful!
Reviewer Permalink
Sonia Choquette has a beautiful way of bringing simple awarenesses to the perceived complexity of our lives. We are reminded to allow ourselves to move from an ego-based approach to life, to a spirit-based one. Sonia shows us the way to love ourselves and to "live our spirit", with grace and joy.

This book came at just the right moment in my life. It was so beautifully written, easy to read and yes, the answer was so simple. It helped me thru a very difficult period in my life and it was almost as if I was suppose to read that chapter at that time. I feel I was guided to buy and read that book at that moment. Thanks for a wonderful book and I know it will be a favorite reread. I have told many about it.

(Hide Review...)  This one has to be her best !!!!
Reviewer Permalink
Received in the mail today my copy of SONIA CHOQUETTES newest book "THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE .... LOVE YOURSELF, LIVE YOUR SPIRIT". I could not put it down !!! ---- I read it from cover to cover in one setting. I believe I have, and have read, all of Sonia's books ---- and have been in the audience at a number of her personal presentations. I am always amazed, as after each presentation, and after reading each book --I think" THIS IS THE BEST EVER", she can't top this --- but then she does !!! and Sonia surely has done so - again- with this book. Her message has never been more clearly presented, or articulated better.

I know I will be rereading this one often, discovering ever more her "Gold Nuggets" of wisdom.

(Hide Review...)  Eye Openning
Reviewer Permalink
I have just started the book and it is down right eye opening. I have really questioned my whole life about What is life?, Why are we all here?and What are our purposes? Also really what happens to us when we dye?
If you have a open heart and even a curiosity of these questions like I did then please take a moment to buy or rent this book I have only started it and it has really made me go WOW I get it. Please take my word you do not need to be religious to understand the content, you just need a have a open heart and mind and a curiosity.

(Hide Review...)  Disappointing
Reviewer Permalink
This is Choquette's third book, I believe, just this year alone? That made me suspicious, and it turns out my suspicions were right. There's nothing more irksome than a New Age author who tosses credibility out the window and starts doing hackwork for money, which is exactly what this book is. It's EXTRA disappointing because her other books, particularly on intuition, have been so good.

My first objection is that there's nothing *new* here. Nothing that hasn't been in oh just about any new age title in the last five years. Her 'secrets' are things like breathe, practice gratitude, meditate (well, not really, more on that in a moment), get exercise, etc. Any of that sound new to you?

Second, she doesn't seem to have digested her own terminology. Most of the book she uses the non-denominational 'safe' term 'Spirit' but in the section recommending meditation, she calls it 'talking with God'. To me, talking with god is called 'praying', a nice thing, yes, but quite distinct from meditation. And it makes no sense that in a book that claims that if we only turn to our inner Spirit, all will be well, to suddenly have us talking with something *outside* ourselves--God. Why not 'talking with Spirit?' It would have made much more sense.

Third, she and her family come off as completely obnoxious in her book. Her four year old daughter, who speaks in complete sentences including subordinating conjunctions, harangues her father about his unspiritual behavior. Choquette's mother discourses at length to a waiter in a restaurant about why she doesn't want a certain dessert because 'I love myself.' I'm sure he cared. Choquette, who, no kidding, apparently saved her family from a tornado becuase she wanted to have a family dinner, becomes the ultimate buzzkill at a neighborhood party by refusing to share empathy with others.

That last one really bothered me: She suggests we don't talk about anything bad, only the good. That sounds good on the surface (see my second objection about her not thinking things through), but.... First of all, many of us consider sharing the fact that we're not perfect and our families aren't perfect either immensely empowering--oh, you have a child like that too!? Such sharing builds community spirit and bonding. (Sure it can devolve into a competition of whose life sucks worse, but that doesn't mean that all talking about bad things is to be avoided). Second, Choquette sure looks old enough to remember the bad old days when everyone only talked about the perfectness of life. How wonderful their children were, how smart and how generous and how great. If you're old enough to remember that too, you probably remember that that was an awfully dysfunctional period. Everyone felt that they had to be perfect all the time.

Choquette suggests that following her 'teachings' will make you unpopular, and she does this several times in language that promotes a very disturbing elitism--you, the enlightened, against those other, unevolved miserable, unenlightened losers. That sort of divisiveness is rife in the New Age community right now and I'm frankly disappointed Choquette is feeding into that. I had thought from her previous books that she was a down to earth well grounded real person. (Just watch how people will bash me and this review based on their 'spiritual superiority' and my 'inferiority' if you need extra proof.)

I wanted to like this book. I thought Choquette was an ethical author with integrity and clear vision. I thought wrong. She's turned into another dash-for-the-cash author. Fooled me once, Sonia. Never again.

(Hide Review...)  "Lift the Heavy"
Reviewer Permalink
Sonia's teachings, readings, and writing always address issues that we all share collectively as well as individually. We do create many of our problems by over-thinking our "stuff." This is a great little gift book for yourself or kindred spirits. Just do it. Live your dreams!

(Hide Review...)  Don't Wait Til Your Dying Day
Reviewer Permalink
This is a great book that shows you how to enjoy life now and not wait til it's too late. In the face of the impersonal bureaucratic and technological society we live in today, Sonia emphasizes how important it is to value your individuality and uniqueness. She shows you how to live in the spiritual dimension, rather than in the ego, which holds anger, jealousy, and so many other negative emotions, while the spirit loves and forgives, and heals, and brings you a contentment the ego never can. By doing the things you love to do, and not letting others control you, you will be the authenic joyful person you were meant to be. As always, Sonia's books give us insight, wisdom, and guidence, a clear easy pathway to follow, and a bit of humor to lighten our way.

(Hide Review...)  Choquette at her finest!
Reviewer Permalink
I received this book for review for the Seattle Metaphysical Library. After reading it - I was so happy I had followed my intuition and pre-orderd a copy of this book for my private collection before I even received the reviewer copy.

Positive - Uplifting - Motivational. Univeral in it's approach - Gentle in it's tone - Choquette's finest work to date. If you loved her other books -you won't want to pass on her new book.

This would make a lovely gift to give that special friend struggling with issues of taking time for her/his own needs - whether those needs are of body or of soul!

(Hide Review...)  The Title Says It All !
Reviewer Permalink
This book is simplicity itself......kind of like going back to your ABCs, in a good way. There is so much going on in our lives and in the world that it's easy to get caught up in the have-to's and the needs of others, and finding yourself getting burned out.

I believe that this book reminds us that honoring the needs of loved ones and others is wonderful and that we need to honor our personal needs and concerns in the same loving way.

If your life isn't evolving in the way that you choose, read this book. I think it will help you to remember who you are, why you are here, and how to create a happier life for yourself and those around you.
