edition.
Product Description
People today hunger for a practical perspective on spirituality, one that makes sense of all the dimensions of their lives, especially they difficulties. In WHY ME WHY THIS WHY NOW, Robin Norwood uses compelling stories of real people to illuminate adversity's purpose at each stage of our spiritual evolution. The result is a highly personal guidebook for every seeker, a map of unfolding consciousness in which all readers will find themselves. By making esoteric principles and spiritual laws that apply to all of us understandable, Norwood helps her readers fulfil their own destiny. In her earlier books, Norwood showed how the roots of addictions stem from family dynamics. WHY ME WHY THIS WHY NOW takes readers on a more far-reaching journey, preparing them to join in today's global awakening to the next stage of human consciousness.

I've been fascinated to read the differing reviews of this book, from those who think WMWTWN is in some ways the next stage of the journey Norwood took us along with Women Who Love Too Much, and those who think this is a retrograde or nonsensical book.
I was steered towards THIS book some years ago, without having read her earlier book, and found it really met me where I was beginning to go - looking at the idea of 'soul responsibility'. Which may sound airy fairy, horribly and irritatingly woolly - or make absolute sense - depending on YOUR perception of reality, at this moment.
Norwood writes clearly and honestly about her own journey, and I would say if for example some of Carolyn Myss's books, particularly Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential strike resonances for you, this should be a fulfilling read. Norwood is a clear and compassionate writer, and her recounting of her own journey which brought her to write this book is quite humbling. I'm really grateful to people who make TOUGH journeys and are also able to recount the experience in such a way as to help some of us have a slightly easier journey towards resolution and understanding of our own selves, lives and relationships.
As a complementary health practitioner, some of my clients are clearly in a place where they are wanting a transpersonal overview of their lives. This book is then an excellent and helpful recommendation
A very very different sort of book, but one which also goes on a deep and reflective journey and is inspirational is A Book of Silence

I wrote a well deserved and glowing report on Robin Norwood's best seller "Women Who Love Too Much", and thought (assumed) that this one would also be as helpful. In fact there is no resemblance between them - they could have been written by totally different people! And the reason for that is made clear in the Introduction where the author tells us that soon after the success of WWLTM she had some sort of breakdown, divorced her husband, gave up her psychotherapy practice and embarked on a spiritual quest lasting 7 years, during which she cut herself off from virtually all outside contact.
Her studies were of an esoteric nature (vaguely new-agey I suppose) and that fact it not made clear in any of the other reviews, or even in the product description. So by all means read it if you are into crystals, spirit guides, auras, guides, chakras, reincarnation etc., but I'm not and would not have bought it if I had realised that this was what it was about. She asks you to try and read with an open mind - I did, but still had to give up less than half-way through.
To me this book, which may have been very important personally to the author, who wants to share her new found beliefs, rides on the back of the very successful WWLTM, and would have sunk without a trace (or maybe not even been published) if it had been written by anyone else.

I was amazed by this book and loved it from start to finish. It is a beautifully written spiritual book, different from Women Who Love Too Much, but in my view a progression from this book because it incorporates life in general. It gives a spiritual insight into why we go through so much hell in our lives and gives a deep meaning to life generally. It is well worth reading, sufficiently deep for those of us seeking a spiritual understanding to life, but not for everybody who is looking for immediate answers. It was recommended to me and I am so glad I read it - another stunning book by Robin Norwood.

Could have been written better
The meaning within the book is fundamental for everyone. Things do happen for a reason, if we only open our eyes to see and accept. But ms. Read more
