When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head and laugh at the sky.

Do you desire a perfect life? You may not realize it but to obtain this life is quite simple. Based on my study of spiritual figures and philosophies, I truly believe that it comes down to two simple practices:

• Live Now! Live completely in the miraculous energy of the present.

• Help another member of your human family. To help humanity is to truly live.

Join us to explore ideas on how to perfect our lives, as found in my latest book, Now: Embracing the Present Moment, as well as in Eastern Wisdom for Your Soul.

Richard Singer is an award winning author, trained psychotherapist, Asst. Professor of Human and Social Services, and most importantly a seeker of truth. He continuously searches for wisdom to use in his life, as well as helping other human beings in their precious journey. He seeks to impart this knowledge to the world through his writing. Richard states that “My books are not only for reading, they are meant to be lived.”

Richard has been featured in many magazines, on various radio and television shows including BBC News in London. His books have been reviewed by, amongst others, Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal, and Martha Stewart’s Body and Soul.

After visiting Word Up, the new Pop-up bookstore in upper Manhattan. I wondered how hard it would be for more such stores to make their appearance throughout New York City or even other cities. Commenting on my thoughts, a friend of mine said: “It is not hard at all. All you need is to partner with a real-estate company with store front property they are trying to rent or sell.”

Apparently, real-estate companies would prefer to have a furnished & functioning store to show perspective clients, rather than an empty space. So, it could turn out to be a win-win situation: you could create pop up store, with no rent fees (!) for a limited amount of time, and the real-estate agency would have a nice store to show clients.

I’m sure pop-up stores could sell various items. But, more bookstores would be great!
