The Reflective Counselor: Daily Meditations for Lawyers
"The Reflective Counselorwill become the model for all daily meditation books! Every single page of this book overflows with wisdom that reminds you who you really are and that helps you realize who you dream of becoming. If you are a lawyer and do these daily meditations, your work will become your life practice, but no matter what you do, this book will cultivate a nobility of spirit that will transform your daily activities into a sacred art." --Rabbi Irwin Kula, Author ofYearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life, and  President, The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership"Coffey and Kessler have accomplished something unusual and important.  They have created a book that works whether you read it front to back, back to front, or randomly drop onto a page. It works because the message on each page delivers a singular reminder for us to be human, to honor our core values, to trust, and to be worthy of trust granted to us." --George Kaufman, Author ofThe Lawyer's Guide to Balancing Life and Work: Taking the Stress Out of Success"There's no quick fix. Show up, wait, watch and work: You don't give up, says Anne Lamott.  Routine, rigor and unrelenting demands mark the landscape of every lawyer's life. These meditations offer space, time and rearranged moments.  Not shallow piety but layered insights that awaken and re-charge." --Janet Walton, Professor of Worship, Union Theological Seminary"Imagine a book that requires you to read only one page per day, in return for which you achieve greater clarity and decisiveness about the things that really matter. There is such a book and it's entitledThe Reflective Counselor: Daily Meditations for Lawyers.It's based on the idea that many of the stresses lawyers experience are brought on by inattention to their own core goals and values. In just a couple of minutes each day, this book will remind you of who you are and of what you want deep-down inside, so that you can effectively navigate the direction of your life. Do you have the time for this? That all depends on whether you think there is something you're doing that can possibly be more important." --Amiram Elwork, Ph.D., Author ofStress Management for Lawyers"This volume is a beautiful testament to the power of inspiration in a busy world.  The authors combine great heart with incisive understanding of our profession and its needs.  They deliver a welcome daily dose of meaning, connectedness with self, inner peace, and harmony with others and the greater life that surrounds us, and at the same time embrace a practical tone that lawyers and law students will readily relate to.  This is a real gift to all of us, thank you!" --Larry Krieger, Former Prosecutor, Law Professor and Founding Chair, AALS Section on Balance in Legal Education
