What our readers had to say...

When we were editing the book we had test readers provide feedback as part of the process…here is a bit of what they shared.

Many readers expressed experiencing a range of emotions as they read through the touching story. Others spoke highly of how the book helped them to sort through mental clutter’. They reported this as an ‘added benefit’. Readers left feeling joyful, hopeful for their future, optimistic, energized, motivated, and overall ‘lighter’ by the end.

As was suggested in the book, many readers expressed an interest in revisiting parts of the book over time to reprocess their thoughts when needed. Several shared that they ordered copies for family and friends, while one gathered friends for a book club. Basha would be thrilled to know that she inspired this generousity!

Many reported that they enjoyed reading the book outdoors or while away from routine. It’s a great time to open your mind when on vacation or away from daily stressors. Even a quiet bath can be a great place to relax your mind. Or why not read at the beach? As one respondent said, “It’s a great place to think…so of course I read it there!”

No matter how you were raised or who you were raised by, everyone can use advice from ‘mom’ from time-to-time. And Basha is happy to help!

"While I never met Basha, Joe's telling of their beautiful connection and life observations left me wishing I had...I wish I thought this deeply much earlier in life."

"I have read and reread sections of this book as my mind untangles years of 'bad scripts' that I never even considered. The amount of 'mental clutter' that I dumped is amazing."

"I love my mom, but she never taught us anything like this. The way that Joe tells the reader about his responses to her instruction was so relatable."
