Lyrics to Live by 2: Further Reflections, Meditations & Life Lessons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838196301)

From the Back Cover:
Following the wonderful response to 'Lyrics to Live By: Keys to Self-Help - Notes for a Better Life' comes this much anticipated second volume: LYRICS TO BY LIVE 2: Further Reflections, Meditations & Life Lessons. This is a book that is so very relevant for these often troubling times and through the lyrics of these songs, written between 1968 and 2016, the author weaves his unique interpretation while offering helpful, uplifting and useful insight.

From the Foreword:
Words and their language create the world we live in. We inhabit our thoughts and, of course, thoughts lead to ideas which lead to actions. Lyrics colour the world for us. Songs can give structure to our lives, marking our time upon this planet. Lyrics give meaning to and reflect the stages in our lives. They mark time. It is Modern Technology that allows us to listen to recordings made through the ages. Musicians who recorded in a studio across the globe decades ago can move our emotions here and now. How magical!

About the Author:
Tim Bragg is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and novelist. He has always been interested in the way folk think and act: why we behave the way we do and how we can improve our lives. Drawing on these passions he helps folk navigate such themes as: the human condition/place and belonging/mental health/childhood/betrayal - and more!

Reviews for 'Lyrics to Live by' include:

• This book challenges us to forget the 'accepted' way of thinking, and to make up our own minds.
• What a fantastic book! Couldn't put it down! Feel completely inspired and full of positive thoughts!
• An insightful, clever and meaningful interpretation of selected song lyrics that then goes on to weave valuable 'Life lessons' with a spiritual connotation into the text.
• Each chapter, of which there are twelve, can be likened to reading well crafted short-stories.
• The author's voice leads us calmly and interestingly to conclusions that will help us be better in this world and to those around us.
• The author maintains a positive focus throughout, offering a fine balance of wisdom and good old common sense, and which is both inspiring and uplifting.
• Your writing reminds me of Sufi - poignant and lovely.
• Just powered through Chapter 7. Seems as though it opened there on its own, and was so important and just what I needed to see! Madly underlining as I went, will let it wash over me time and again like a cleansing wave!

LTLB 2 is a second volume of short essays from the author of Lyrics To Live By: Keys to Self-Help - Notes for a Better Life. This new collection goes deeper than before in exploring and interpreting a selection of lines taken from the lyrics of a variety of songs. There is much here to inspire and provoke further thought, as the author draws on his knowledge and wisdom in exploring the human condition. Definitely a worthy addition to any self-help collection.- Gary Stokes, Holistic Counsellor.
