[Baruch]

For those that also recommended Telushkin, how do you feel his writings have influenced you?

Thanks so much for posting . . . I started reading his books years ago. I'm still reading them, and what I find amazing is that when I started reading his work,  much of it seemed like an outside idea or alternative higher mindset. I use to say things like " This Rabbi thinks of things this way " It could be on just about any subject. Fast forward a decade and it's not so much saying what he thinks . . . Because it's now the way I think too.

I still stumble in life. But not as much as I use to. And those books are the reason. Those books ( His thinking ) is a type of 'Grace'  It's a touch of deep truth, that when we become open enough to accept that this is the way we should be, and we become open to change, we can build enhanced inner character. It starts with small pieces here and there. . . But it adds up over time.
