Amazon readers have given 100% 5-Star Reviews to Greg Pacini’s new book, Journey Beyond Hardship. Here are their powerful and positive reviews:
Two Thumbs Up!
This is a positive, affirming book that helps take you through the ups and downs of life. The easy-to-read format offers clear guidance to take you along your journey. The “rest stops” are great tools to come back to when you need a tune-up. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling to find their way to a peace within themselves.
—Lynne Christman
Profound and Insightful!!!
Greg Pacini has written a book that shares many profound insights with his readers. The book is written as if the reader is on a road trip. This format encourages a way of exploring the journey through the hardships of our lives. The idea of rest stops along the way suggests the reader should stop and reflect on varied ways of self-care that are offered at these junctures in the book. Life can be filled with ups and downs and Pacini’s book offers many ways to work through the hardships presented to many of us in life. I particularly enjoyed the chapter: “Further Destinations: Matters of Spirit.” This book offers compassionate and hopeful insights to all who read it. I would recommend this to all who are seeking a path that gives meaning to the many facets of suffering.

An Insightful and Practical Resource.
This book offered clarity and hope at a difficult time in my life. As I experienced multiple hardships at once my inner world was chaotic and frightening and the journey metaphor offered a practical approach and first steps and is easy to understand. I’m now rereading both this book and Journey Beyond Diagnosis as they are packed with good stuff and have many layers. Still on round two I’m comforted by curling up somewhere cozy with this book.

Thank you very much, Anita. And here’s the good news I’ve been waiting to share.

Hay House, one of the world’s largest publishers, is now carrying Journey Beyond Hardship in their Fall Catalog! Order it by simply clicking this Amazon link: 
https://www.amazon.com/…/obi…/ASIN/1504329104/hayhousecom-20 or through the Hay House catalog here: http://www.hayhouse.com/catalogs/balboa-press-catalog.
Larry Dossey, MD, and Anita Moorjani, both New York Times bestsellers, endorse the book. And I just discovered three wonderful reviews of the book on Amazon.
As much as I dislike self-promotion, here I go, and let me explain. If the book sells well in the Fall Catalog, it may be included in the Holiday Catalog, which is seen by tens of millions. That means millions of people may learn about a book that can really help them, and that’s why I wrote it. So, consider ordering a copy as a holiday gift.
Please consider sharing this post on your Facebook pages, and such.
Thanks, and much peace,
Greg
Counseling the chronically and terminally ill for 15 years taught me lessons of the mind, the heart, the body and the soul. So in 2005, Journey Beyond Diagnosis was published with the hope of capturing the wisdom of those facing life-threatening disease.
By 2010, that book was virtually sold out. But people were still being diagnosed. And the familiar, internal nudge to write woke back up: the nudge to bring forward all the new knowledge from these brave, honest, scared, strong, desperate, daring and powerful people. Consequently, a second edition of Journey Beyond Diagnosis started taking shape.
Then life intervened. Tragedy struck in my own life, and it was hard. Writing became labored, and eventually ground to a stop. Making my way through tough times took what energy I had. Writing about tragedy while enduring it was not doable for me.
Once in a while, my hands could make words on the laptop. And then they couldn’t. This pecking at the second edition continued. With time, life started to feel a little better. People I trusted read bits and pieces of this edition, and in different ways encouraged me to not only keep writing, but to broaden the reach of the new material.
By now it had been 25 years counseling the chronically and terminally ill and 35 years as a psychotherapist for people suffering all matter of injury: infidelity, financial downfall, physical and sexual abuse, prejudice, death of a loved one, addiction, anxiety, depression, miscarriage, and just feeling empty for some clear reason, or no reason at all.
Given my recent reference for tragedy, earlier feedback that Journey Beyond Diagnosis was helpful even to those who had not experienced a diagnosis, and the mounting support to create a book that might benefit anyone dealing with life’s difficulties, the focus of the second edition shifted and became Journey Beyond Hardship.
Writing became more fluid and productive. An early draft of Journey Beyond Hardship was completed in the fall of 2014.
One of the first to see the new material was New York Times bestseller, Anita Moorjani. I took a chance and sent a galley proof of the book, inviting Anita to write the foreword. Tears streamed down my face weeks later at the news that she had accepted my invitation. My heart leapt again, when, through utter serendipity, New York Times bestseller, Larry Dossey, MD, sent me an endorsement. Any author would feel tremendously fortunate to have either of these magnificent human beings affiliated with one’s work. But to have both involved was overwhelming.
With Anita Moorjani’s and Dr. Dossey’s contributions now set for the book’s cover, Journey Beyond Hardship was made public in April of 2015.
Many say that writing and sharing yourself publically is daunting. There have been moments. Mostly, it’s been about honoring the stirring to bring to others what has been and continues to be given to me. Daily, my work steeps me in some of the richest elements of the human experience. There would be no rest if that potent knowledge did not get passed on.
So it’s with profound satisfaction and hope that Journey Beyond Hardship is now shared, along with these related comments from recent book signings:
“The presentation was so informative and clearly presented, I look forward to reading Greg’s book.” Christine Bubbeo
“Inspiring! Unique experience to hear the words of my heart interpreted and translated for me to understand in a new way.” Emily Thomas
