BARNES AND NOBLE AUTHOR’S WEBSITE
How each of us feels is an individual experience. Author Desai guides understanding and placing emotions in perspective. Some folks suggested a fidget spinner to release stress in youngsters by focusing sensory impulses. The resulting refocus of emotions helps children who suffer from undo fear, anxiety, sadness, or frustration. These typical responses to feelings that result from external stimuli need more than a simple toy.
Connected provides a framework for young people to discover their inner guards. These guards set the framework when understood and used by a person to help give a sense of synchronization and stability to respond rather than react to sensory overload. Each of us has a different balance point.
The lessons inside this book are a roadmap for each of us to understand our responses to cultivate the various joys of life, like imagination, stability, optimism, curiosity, and more. The exercises inside Connected: Discovering Your Inner Guides respect and promote the individual’s sensations and their valued perspective when allowed.
Author Desai’s mantra is helpful for younger people, but older folks need to recall their value, “I bring peace, I bring love, I bring kindness to those around me, both near and far away.” The lessons and messages of this book are perfect for any age, but youth will enjoy the benefits of the tools inside this book. This book is on the top of my gift-giving list.
I recommend this book with five stars for young and old who want to live comfortably inside their skin. Many thanks, Seema Desai.

I love that mantra — ALL of us would do well to keep it in the front of our mind. Thanks for a great review. I’m awaiting my copy of the book in the mail right now.
I could not agree more, Kristine. Happy Holidays
Rox, thank you so much for making the time to read and review my book. I sincerely hope it helps people shine their light out into the world, and inso doing, give others the courage to do the same.
