Overview
Through prayer and meditation, Dr. Lee Felder asserts that you can gain access to your deeper self, improve your personal effectiveness, and even enhance your health. These seven prayers have been part of the Jewish liturgy for centuries, and within each chapter is a thoughtful translation of the prayer, an inspiring discussion about it, and suggestions for practical applications. The chapters are an ideal blend of history, spirituality, and practicality - making the book a valuable self-help tool and an endless source of energy that can enhance anyone's quality of life.Editorials

Jewish prayer isn't just for Jews anymore, says psychologist Leonard Felder in Seven Prayers That Can Change Your Life: How to Use Jewish Spiritual Wisdom to Enhance Your Health, Relationships, and Daily Effectiveness. Felder draws on classic Jewish prayers to help Jews and non-Jews who are struggling with their relationships or have too much stress in their lives. The concept of not needing to reinvent the prayer wheel is a good one, though some readers will question Felder's Hebrew-to-English translations (for melekh ha-olam, for example, he eschews the traditional "Ruler of the Universe" in favor of the more antiseptic "Pulsing Source of all that exists in the world").
