More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Dr. Stephen R. Covey Author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" I loved this book! It provides significant insights into living a happier, healthier, more rewarding life.
Product Description
Matthew Kelly has inspired more than two million people with his talks and seminars. By combining the ageless tool of storytelling with a profound understanding of today's culture, Kelly brings his universal vision to "The Rhythm of Life", a motivational, easy-to-follow guide geared towards readers of all beliefs and backgrounds. In this fast, complex age, sometimes the number of details that crowd into each day do more than distract - they overwhelm. Through prescriptive guidelines and captivating stories, Kelly restores readers on a path towards purpose, sharing the simple steps that nourish the most basic requirements - food and exercise, love and friendship - and satisfy the deepest longings of every soul. Timely and timeless, Kelly's powerful message compels thousands to fall in love again - with life.

A great tool for examining your current state of mind. I am seeing faults more clearly and do not want to go back to being the person I was.

Everything is a choice. This is lifes greatest truth and its hardest lesson. It is a great truth because it reminds us of our power to live the life of our dreams. It is a hard lesson because it causes us to realise that we have chosen the life we are living right now.

There isn't a person in the world who couldn't benefit from reading this book
4 April 2006
Format:Hardcover
If you're checking out this review, you're interested in becoming a better person, or as Kelly says, a better version of yourself. Kudos. This book will help you do it. It has brought a certain clarity to my inner monologue that I have never before felt.
And just so you know, I've read so many self-help books and books on seeking happiness I can't begin to list them here. (Relatively) Recently written books like "The 7 habits" and Dale Carnegie's "How to", all the way to Existentialist writers like Camus and enlightened thinkers such as Thoreau and ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. Whether or not you have, this book will put all the others into perspective. It will show you how those books, and this one, will help you on your journey of becoming the best version of yourself, and the byproduct (happiness) which comes from embracing this journey.
One last note...I subscribe to no particular faith, and I have avoided reading Kelly despite some of my friends recommendations because his books are always in the Christian section of the book store. I guarantee you that whether you are a born again Christian or an agnostic, this book can help you.
I don't know how else to put it: I give this book my strongest recommendation. You will do well to read it.

you can never hear the message enough
6 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
I have had the fortune of hearing Matthew Kelly speak on two occation and his message is just inspiring not only in his talks but also in this book. What he is saying is definitely not "rocket science" and as you read it you will constantly get a sense of "of course that is true, why have I forgotten that?".
I know I have fallen into a "life of quiet desperation" on many occations and it is not until I am out of these times does it pain me to realize that I really put myself there. Matthew is simply trying to put up some road signs to our journey reminding us to lookout for any pitfalls ahead but to enjoy the ride as much as the destination.
I definitely recommend this book as a simple reminder that every life is pretty darn incredible and that we should always try and be "the best possible versions of ourselves".

Amazing!
16 Nov 2004
Format:Hardcover
I had spent so long looking on the outside for happiness, discovering of course that happiness is an inside job, but I was never sure how to find true happiness. In reading this book I realized there is a voice within me that is helping me become "the-best-version-of-myself", I had to rediscover that voice and listen to it. Reading this book helped me to do that. Everything is written so straightforward, and so sincere.
I have started to read other motivational books, but they lost my interest after awhile. "The Rhythm of Life" I read once all the way through and right now I spend a few minutes each day reading a chapter and than I take some quiet time to think about what I have read and how I am applying the simple suggestions to my life.
Matthew Kelly has an astonishing way of writing and story telling that has kept my attention. I had the pleasure of seeing Matthew Kelly speak a few months ago and I was really looking forward to this book. I can honestly say that I was not at all disappointed. It truly has given me a new outlook on life!
