 A little disappointed April 18, 2008

I was disappointed once I read this book. I thought it would be much more powerful. I love Richard Carlson's work and his death is untimely. It is very unfortunate for his family, as well as his readers.
This book is a nice little tribute to his life and love for his wife and children. I think I just went into it believe it would be more dynamic or heartwrenching. In other words, I thought it might bring out more emotion from the reader than it did.
It is a nicely written tribute but honestly the most powerful part of the entire thing is the poem that someone else had written at the end. The poem ties in perfect with the story of Kris and Richards life together. This review is not meant to be malicious, just an honest response. I have high respect for the Carlson family and their work. God belss them.
If you are looking for a quick read, this is a good one. It took me about an hour and half to get through it. I hope this helps. :)

This book is a small gem. On their wedding anniversary, a few years before he died unexpectedly at a young age, Richard Carlson gave his wife an incredible gift of love through a letter based on Stephen Levine's challenge: If you only had an hour to live, who would you call and what would you say? Not only does Carlson tell his wife all that she has meant to him and how much he loves her, his words allow all of us to understand that if we only had an hour to live, most of the things we currently think are important truly are not. That extra hour at the office, making more money, etc., pale in comparison to the moments we spend expressing our love and paying attention to our lives. We don't need to wait until we only have an hour to begin to live and appreciate our lives and those we love. Start now!

If everyone takes a few minutes of their lives and think. What is considered most important in life? Wealth or love? If you choose wealth, I am sorry for you. But if you choose love, then may your life full of joy. Read this book, recommended.
