‘Stunningly well-written and stunningly wise’ is how we would describe this book. Simon Parke, a former vicar who now works in a supermarket, has crafted ten new commandments or skilful attitudes that will enable us to live The Beautiful Life. With words like arrows shooting straight at their mark, Simon pierces through our cocoon of conditioned thoughts, beliefs and behaviour, showing us exactly what we need to do to return to our original innocence, and free the butterfly within us. Intelligent and thoughtful, these ten commandments will enable you to free yourself from the burdens of the past, the stresses and strains of the present and fears of the future to become the alchemist of your own transformation. Though much of the ground Simon covers is, of course, not new, the way he describes it is totally magical, and will give much food for thought to the spiritual veteran and novice alike. 200pp, 134mm x 204m, hardback, 2007
