This slim volume has within its pages a universe of knowledge. There are so many brilliant quotes in this book. In fact, the entire last chapter "The Beach at My Back" should be quoted and contemplated. I have to admit that it was strange to find a book full of thoughts I myself have had over the last five years. Through my yoga and meditation practice I have been able to figure out that true happiness comes from within and that "alone time" is necessary for spiritual, and even physical, survival. I also admit that I did not connect with the chapter focusing on later life. However, I am not there yet and when I do make it to that point you can bet this book will be something I come back to again and again. I would recommend this book to anyone. It may appeal more to women, but I think it can speak to both sexes. I think Gift From the Sea will answer a few questions you may have about life and show you a path to happiness. The writing is superb and the structure of the book is perfect. This will be a book you come back to again and again. I hope that my friends will take me up on my recommendation for this book...
