ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
In the spirit of both Eastern and Western traditions, Dr. David Simon shows how changing our mindset from commandment to personal commitment can help us make the life transformations we want and need.
We were raised on the Ten CommandmentsÑand unfortunately most of us use the philosophy of "thou shalt not" (eat too much, drink too much, work too hard, etc.) to command ourselves to change. Dr. Simon encourages us to embrace the power of commitment to create a life of greater peace, vitality, love and purpose. Through commitment to be authentic, love more openly, embrace abundance and relax, we can translate our desires into actions that bring about transformation and healing.
"In this fascinating and uniquely insightful book, David explores the core tenets of Western spiritual values and demonstrates how, with a subtle yet powerful shift in perception, the essential truths of East and West merge to create a compelling vision for a better world."
-Deepak Chopra
"Written by one of the most brilliant thinkers of our times, The Ten Commitments will take you on an irresistible journey of awakening, providing tangible steps for translating ideas into action and desires into results."
-Debbie Ford, bestselling author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and The Best Year of Your Life

"Much needed in our changing views of the old Biblical Laws. It points out how we have choices. We can grow up and take responsibility for our own healing and the healing of each other."

"very insightful...the idea of changing "thou shalt not..." into "you can (and should)..." is a real eye-opener...i am already familiar w/Dr. Simon's work with the Chopra Center & this is another valuable tool in what is, obviously a work in progress..."

"This is a "must have" book for anyone who has the desire to cultivate awareness and take full responsibility for their own growth and transformation.
Ten Commitments offers a path to freedom from the control and limitations (whether conscious or subconscious) of an external authority as presented in the text of the biblical Ten Commandments. Dr Simon invites us to explore, contemplate, and then translate each commandment into a personal commitment. Personal commitments then become the vehicles for the exploration and expression of our deepest desires, intentions, and actions as they emerge from the core of our being into the world of our creation.
This book is very clearly written, easy to understand, and smoothly accessible for the personal integration of the subject matter. Its message is inspiring, spacious, and very timely as a gift of healing in this era of spiritual and religious diversity and tension."
