Críticas:

"Toinette Lippe is a woman whose wisdom is as deep as it is unassuming. The ideas in "Nothing Left Over" are seeds bursting with vitality and her book is a primer in grateful living. As you come to know her in a delightful intimacy, you come to know yourself from unsuspected perspectives."--Brother David Steindl-Rast, author of "Gratefulness" "A magnificent piece of writing. Toinette Lippe's lucid memoir puts into practice what we all intuitively know makes sense but somehow never quite get round to doing."--Stephen Batchelor, author of "Buddhism Without Beliefs" "I can think of no greater praise than to say this is an honest book; it helps us understand what the values of 'simple living' are really meant to impart in a complicated and unsimple world, not just theoretically, but in the details of our everyday existence."--Jacob Needleman, author of "An Unknown World" "I find myself thrown into a state of wonder that a life story so authentic in its telling and so fascinating to read could be lived amid the turmoil of a modern metropolis."--Thomas Berry, author of "The Great Work" "Toinette Lippe has used her marvelous gift of word imagery to make her point that a lifetime of simply complete moments emerges as a very full life indeed."--Sylvia Boorstein, author of "It's Easier Than You Think" "Read "Nothing Left Over" slowly in a quiet place. Let it lead you to do some interior housekeeping. Live with those changes for a while, and then return to the book for another gentle suggestion, and then another, about what it really means to be contained and satisfied."--"Spirituality & Health" "This is the elegance of the book: the idea that any moment contains all we really need to know in order to live simply and plainly; every instance presents an opportunity to refine our awareness so that we can be present and of service to others."--"Turning Wheel" ""Nothing Left Over" reveals an independently won spiritual maturity. Readers will appreciate her practical advice on attitudes toward everyday life."--"Shambhala Sun" "The great pleasure of "Nothing Left Over" is exactly in its honesty and attention to detail, which flow from Toinette Lippe's life to her writing and back again. I encourage you to listen to her plain and heartfelt words as I did, and to consider the mysterious and ordinary lessons within: find balance andtravel light."--Alan Senauke, "Inquiring Mind" "An important book for anyone who has ever wondered what really matters."--Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of "Kitchen Table Wisdom"
