Notes to Myself: My Struggle to Become a Person Paperback – November 1, 1983

I recently finished reading Notes to Myself by Hugh Prather and was really blown away by the powerful and thought-provoking content. Prather's writing is honest, vulnerable, and deeply relatable, and I found myself nodding along and making connections to my own life as I read.One of the things I loved most about this book was how it really helped me to connect with my inner self. Prather's words are like a mirror, reflecting back the things that I sometimes try to hide or ignore. I found myself having a lot of "aha" moments and feeling more self-aware as a result.Overall, I would highly recommend Notes to Myself to anyone looking for a book that will challenge them to think more deeply about their own thoughts, feelings, and actions. It's a truly transformative read.

Got this after watching an Amazon live show. It was quick to read and interesting. I liked it!

I ran across this book second hand. I was so impressed I read it to some friends who had to have a copy so I purchased as a gift. It’s the book that keeps on giving. The quotes are relevant to all who live a normal life but want more meaning. Seekers who need validation of the feelings

I just completed reading this book for the second time. I first read the book about 7 years ago after finishing grad school. Now, I'm several years out of that experience and into another phase of life. I still find value in this book. There are many passages that don't speak to me, but the few that do are powerful. The truths resonate loudly. Any person that is familiar with Buddhist practices will find that this book echos lessons given in dharma talks. This is not a self-help book that is going to spell everything out for you, hold your hand and tell you how to overcome your problems. It will, however, share insights from one person's point of view and those insights may resonate so strongly that you change your life.

Just buy it

I got to know a manager at a Farrells Ice Cream emporium. He mentioned this book to me in 1972. I had a copy for years but it got lost somewhere between here and there. I was reading another book and it was referenced there and knew I needed to get another copy. I did and it is so wonderful. It really speaks to my journey.

I found this book while browsing a local bookstore. I hesitated to buy it then, which was a mistake, and then bought it later from Amazon.This book is amazing! It is an absolutely insightful masterpiece that makes you think critically about everyday experiences that pass through our minds. There are so many thoughts about a variety of topics that I am positive anyone will find at least one piece they can strongly relate to. The nice part about the book itself is how it is split up into little sections as you don't need to read a bunch of pages in a single sitting. I lost count how many times I have read through this book and each time is still wonderful. It has helped me get through some tough times in life, and I have tried my hardest to share it with everyone I know. So I will again try to share it with you. Read this book! You will not be disappointed!

The condition of this book was a bit more worn/stained than I would have hoped but not much is listed on Amazon in descriptions of older books about the specific condition of the actual copy being sent. With that being said, I had seen a quote years ago that I have wanted to reread for a long time. I knew the idea/ending of it but online searches did not produce the quote. I thought it may have been in this book so ordered it and as luck would have it I was right! Overall I am not impressed with the writings in this book, but the couple quotes that spoke to me made the purchase worth it.
