Book Reviews of We Plan, God Laughs: Ten Steps to Finding Your Divine Path When Life is Not Turning Out Like You Wanted

Book Review: SELF HELP FOR WHEN G-D LAUGHS WITH YOU
Summary: 5 Stars

I am not a big self help book reader but this title caught my eye...from an old saying ...and I was drawn into it...so dead-on, so reassuring that the world is not black and white but full of greys...that life is unpredictable ... I found this in writing memoir with my sister -- warning, promotional plug! -- Confessions of a Carb Queen -- that there are disappointments and triumphs that must be met at every turn...and in HER WONDERFUL BOOK, The Rabbi outlines this with humor, personality and conscise language. Read it and feel a sense of freedom from failure and fear.

Summary of We Plan, God Laughs: Ten Steps to Finding Your Divine Path When Life is Not Turning Out Like You Wanted

The old Yiddish proverb, “We plan, God laughs,” expresses a truth everyone can relate to. At every stage of life we make plans, setting out where we want to go and imagining what we will be like when we have “arrived.” But things have a way of turning out not quite as we hoped or expected.

In WE PLAN, GOD LAUGHS, Sherre Hirsch argues that too often our plans are limited to ones we think up at bedtime, or are devised by our parents, or by what looks good on a r?sum?. Addressing serious spiritual issues, Hirsch takes readers through ten basics steps for formulating a plan that reflects who we are now and who we want to be—a plan that is alive, organic, and in sync with God.

Hirsch teaches the importance of letting go and recognizing that even the most ordinary life is extraordinary in the eyes of God. She makes no foolish promise that life will turn out as we plan, but shows that with hope, faith, and belief, we can change our lives for the better and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
