Refresh Your Soul
I received the book as a present and really enjoyed reading it. I've never written about a book before, but I think this one deserves five stars. This fabulous book is packed with wonderful wisdom. The author shares a series of interesting life stories that are enjoyable and convey a deep truth about the human experience. His writing leaves you renewed and inspired, providing a new perspective about the events and people that shape our lives. The main elements are the ten Paradoxical Commandments themselves. They combine to form a positive message about life and the human spirit. This enriching message frees you to be yourself, and give the world the best you have. The Commandments are so powerful that for years they have circled the entire globe, continually passed from person to person. Now, the original author takes you on his path of discovery. I urge you to read this book; it will refresh your soul.

Finding Personal Meaning in a Crazy World
Kent M. Keith, has done the world a great service in writing this new book. The Paradoxical Commandments is a compendium of valuable insight relating to life. Overall the book conveys why one should adopt a philosophy of doing what is right and good and true, knowing a paradox may occur, but doing it anyway. The principles and philosophy and morals discussed provide the reader with a 10 item outline of how to achieve inner happiness even when facing bad things. Call the Paradoxical Commandments 10 reasons why one should on a personal level always choose to bring forth the best in ourselves in spite of being met by the worst from the world. All 10 of the Paradoxical Commandments are good reasons to take the high moral road on life's great journey. The book is a quick read and a guide to a short road to personal happiness. My advice is to buy this book, read it, take it to heart and pass it on to a friend.

this is the coolest book
His Commandments have shown me that I should not limit myself by what other people think of me. Some people are just difficult to love and some never give will give me the approval I may need or want. The author teaches me the joys and virtues of doing good things for the sake of doing them, without expecting myself to be advanced or bettered in any way, and doing them even when it puts me at risk of becoming vulnerable. I believe that when we allow ourselves to love than we can receive love. It is important for me to know that I have people in my life who care and want to be there for me. This book has shown me to always try and help my friends, family, or even strangers just because I want to not for any selfish reasons. I believe I will always try and remember these commandments when I am teaching. I think that I will put them up in my classroom as encouragement for my students as well as myself. I can use some of the commandments, as classroom rules to help my students better understand what I am looking for. Dr. Kent M. Keith is a great man with a great mind. I think that I will try my best to follow these commandments just because they are cool, very realistic, right to the point, easy to read, and easy to understand. I really liked the book and I will buy the hard copy to keep in my library at home and in my classroom.
