Fabulous Book!
Truly an inspiring listen! Even if one is unfamiliar with Judaism, the author explains well Jewish concepts and Hebrew words. Thank you so much, Rebbetzin!!

disappointing, but I get the idea, it's up to you
didn't discuss difficult issues, I don't think for most people living beside someone who has an untidy yard is a major issue for people.

My life is Changing
I have listened in full to the audible and read in full the book. It’s words are alive. They ring in my ears with things that happen in my every day life. My heart is searching, my mind is reeling with thoughts and my soul is longing for more of mussar and it’s blessed light in my life. Thank you, Rabbi Lapin for introducing me to this boo and beautiful person, Ruchi Koval. Thank you for the newness I feel and new hope I have.

Essential life tools
At 72 years old it was really amazing to find these incredible tools to make life a more pleasant place to be . I am not Jewish or and particular religion but I was happy to find out that the application of these only require belief in the human spirit .
I really am grateful you were able
Somehow put into
Words for others to understand how to resolve basic human barriers of human emotion and reactions of every day living.

Just amazing.
I am thankful that I found this book right now, as I am craving more spirituality in my life. This Jewish teaching of character development called mussar is indispensable for one’s life in the pursuit of becoming a better person. Being good takes an everyday effort and this book reminds me of what needs to be done. I am actually going to buy the hard copy and keep it in my bed side table so I can read it often to be reminded and create a muscle memory.
The book was insightful and I loved that Ruchi ( I actually know her, how cool is that?) used anecdotes and some personal examples to illustrate the stories. Also, just as an example of how often we fall of the wagon on being good, I had just read the passage of expressing kindness towards others, when Ruchi said that she was the dishwasher tyrant, and I totally saw myself in her story. I am the exact same person. My kitchen is my domain and I am terrible to anyone who trespasses it. At that moment I decided I was going to change. One week later, I was cooking and my poor husband came to get something in the refrigerator and naturally took a minute too long, or I thought so, and I was so rude to him saying that he was crowding my space. One week, that is all it took for me to forget what I had to attentively listened to.
YES, I will definitely need to read This book many time over.

Life changing
I cannot recommend this book enough. It is filled with so much wisdom, life lessons, and practical advice without being preachy. It offers ways to think a little bit differently about some of our core values, with clear examples as to how they can be applied to our own lives. I love that the author read this in her own voice. It felt genuine and comforting. I don’t think there is anyone who would not learn something truly life- changing from this book:
