Reader Reviews

Silence is Golden

“This book is a beautifully and thoughtfully written exploration of meditation that feels deeply personal and sincere. What touched me most was how the author keeps bringing us back to one simple but powerful truth. We are Consciousness. That reminder is offered gently and patiently, almost like someone guiding us back to something we have always known but forgotten. Wisdom is drawn from many different spiritual teachers and perspectives, unpicking the fundamental truth about meditation that feels accessible and grounded. It is a steady reminder that peace is not something we manufacture, but instead is something that we uncover when we stop clinging to the noise of the mind. I finished this book feeling inspired to go within more often, to observe my thoughts more gently, and to rediscover the quiet space beneath it all. It has helped me to understand that silence truly can be golden.” ~ Anoushka F

“I very much enjoyed and appreciated reading this book. It has transformed my understanding of meditation and given me increased motivation to begin my own practice. The metaphors of the wave on the ocean and the ice cube in the freezer really helped to visualise the message being shared. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual understanding and experience.” ~ Roy M

Waking Up to Serenity

“Reading this book is like sitting with Michael and listening to him share his experience and wisdom. As a lifelong atheist, I struggled with the concept of a Higher Power when working through the twelve-step program of recovery. This short and easily digestible book has awakened an exciting spiritual journey in me whereby physical sobriety is merely a side effect of a new way of life. This certainly is an illuminating read, and I would recommend it to anyone in recovery.” – Richard R

“This book is thoroughly enjoyable, informative and helpful. I resonate very much with Michael’s way of explaining spirituality. He provides the key to unlock the next stage of our development”. – Joe M

Far More Than We Think

“This is a wonderful and inspiring book for anyone on the spiritual path. Michael writes with honesty and humility and explains complicated topics with clarity and directness. The book is rich in learnings and is infused with a profound sense of love and truth which reverberates from each word to open your heart and raise your vibration. Beautifully written, easy to read and packed full of spiritual truths, Far More than We Think is a divine gift and a wonderful addition to the Universe's great library. Highly recommended.”

“This is a great book that covers a lot of ground in a very readable style. It's not an easy topic to take on and the author has made it less daunting than many others. If you are a fan of Tolle's or Williamson's you will enjoy this book as it brings the same metaphysical principles to us without taking itself too seriously. Great read indeed and very impressive in my view.”

 “As the author notes, using a venerable British expression, “The penny drops when ancient wisdom slots perfectly into a modern scientific framework.” Generally splendid reading and potentially life-changing for readers willing to go beyond the normal.”

“Just couldn't put this book down! It touched my conscience on so many levels. I have experienced many of the issues mentioned in this book but have not been able to move on due to being fixed in my ego state. The hope now is to read it again and take the steps to find my true self. Thank you Michael.”

“An excellent writer and speaker on matters spiritual. I have known Michael for only a short while, but he has already had a big impact on my own spiritual thinking.”

Fellowship of the Broken

“A must read for anyone involved in self understanding. What a brilliant book. This book really explains the 12 step recovery program in such a soul searching and enlightening way. It gives you an understanding of being human and our spiritual quest for enlightenment and peace. The 12 step program is simple but certainly challenging on so many levels. I came to twelve step work because my life had become unmanageable and my ingrained behaviours were entirely personal ego driven, which this book has certainly made me acknowledge. Thank you Michael for sharing your wisdom and journey.”

“Digging deep. Excellent investigation into the very bowels of recovery. As a longtime sober member of AA I need always to be exploring my connection with the world that I inhabit with my body and the realms that I inhabit with my Mind. This book is a fresh and very welcome addition to the wealth of information begging to be discovered. Like many spiritual works it needs to be read and reread as it has many layers.”

“Perennial wisdom, well conveyed, designed to ease personal suffering, excellent. This is an ideal time to pick up this book. Get to the end and you will be wiser for it.”

“This book totally complements 12 step programs and explains in precise detail how it works, and why it doesn’t for some. Highly recommended to anyone thinking or already undertaking a 12 step journey of recovery. This is a read to keep for good”

“Amazing book ! This is a book deep in spiritual concepts made simple through metaphor. Fellowship of the Broken is well researched and thought provoking.”
