 A 'must read' book July 8, 2008
This is the most wonderful book, I can't praise it enough. It really makes you think about what you do, and how you deal with things in your life.
I lent it to my daughter, and it really helped her put things in perspective. Bearheart is a wonderful person, and I would recommend this book to everybody.
 I love this book July 5, 2008
I really do love this book. It's like a little friend! The first part of the book deals with American Indian philosophies - simple but loving. Bear Heart's warmth and humour permeates the pages and it is simply a joy to read. I did find that the last part of the book was much more difficult to read and this is due to the subject of global warming which I have my own personal doubts about...
I love it April 6, 2008

Every time I read a book where a native american speak I am in tears, the beautifulness and simplicity of their speech, and at the same time the deep meaing of their words and they connection with the Earth and all life is so natural for them....Only I can say that I am glad that they have been wise and very coraegous to keep hidden until now their own traditions, maybe not everything, but the most important, their connection with the Creator and the strengh that gives the certeinty that sirituality is not just a word, they live it, and still they can teach us how to reconnect with this part of ourselves that we are cut off, and therefore lost our own path in this materialistic and shelfish way of life.
Enjoyable and thought provoking February 19, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommended to anyone interested in exploring a different way of looking at the world. It makes you think!
 Dumbed down and plain awful! September 21, 2007

This book will appeal to the slow thinking American, or anyone else in need over grossly over simplied common sense. It is like reading a child's book - for an adult it is painfully patronising and SO dumbed down, that I could only manange about half the book!
It is not thought provoking or demanding in any way at all. The silly stories just kill me. The author is clearly targeting a readership of people with IQs in single figures.
I have serious doubts about the authenticity, as I can't believe Native Americans were this stupid - white Americans, yes.
Buy a book on Taoism instead.
