Book Review: The Long, Steep Path by Catherine Ryan Hyde - Page 2

I also enjoyed the photos, and the links to more photos with each chapter; they were lovely accompaniments to the words.

I see the essential messages of The Long, Steep Path catching on and this book creating a grassroots movement much like Pay It Forward did, even if this book never receives the same amount of accolades. In several places, Ryan Hyde shares those moments where life shifts, and her one-sentence gems are so simple and practical that it’s easy to miss their impact.

Because she is willing to express herself so openly, her words went under the skin and became part of my lifeblood, offering a fresh perspective that changed me in delicate ways.

I have incorporated several of the concepts into my life and felt an overall sense of peace and equilibrium that I hadn’t known before. I received the warmth, hard-earned pearls of wisdom, generosity, and kindness with which this book was created. I am on my path of discovering the life that I want in the life that I have now.
