the Invitation is first, a poem that has made the rounds of the internet to wide acclaim and interest. The book itself is Oriah Mountain Dreamer's first in a trilogy of books, which explains that poem. I have read it several times, and yes, I have recommended it to friends.
It is one of those pieces that speaks to me differently each time I read it, the way I find something different each time I read The Alchemist.
The book gets to the heart of matters in one's life, as the author has lived hers. It is reality, as in, the author admits her struggles which typically are universal. It invites me to look more closely at my own authentic self and asks me: Are you living your life as your true self.
a good work for those seeking inspiration to find their own way, to look beyond the unconsciousness of our culture's daily busy-ness.

Very inspiritional
This book really touches the nerve of spirit. I loved the way she gets right down to the exact nature of our human nature and makes the really important stuff so simple. Reading her book, I was given insight into my own fragile state of being. The mistakes that I have made in my life are now of some value, in the context of her story. I have given this book to many, and many have said it is their favorite book.
