As the editor of Renée Paule’s books I declare an interest in Stepping Out of Time and have not and will not be paid for my services.

Stepping Out of Time is not your usual ‘self-help’ offering. I’m not sure where to place this book for, like Renée’s others, it doesn’t fit exactly into any particular pigeon-hole, but rattles around disconcertingly in the mind making you take notice of it. I think that is exactly what it should do for Renée writes in her Introduction ‘There’s nothing in any of my books that we don’t already know...’ and she is quite right, but we have forgotten so much or have allowed it to be pushed out of sight and mind by more ‘important’ things. What you will find is a book written in what Renée calls ‘plain English’ (no jargon) with many delightful illustrations, a book that is a clarion call to stir ourselves; to take note of what is happening around us and to realise that we can effect change in our lives if we really want to. I heartily recommend this book to you.

Renée Paule
“We must walk alone, but fight together - for One cause, instead of against each other.”
Renée Paule, Stepping Out of Time

Renée Paule
“... life isn’t a battle between us and the rest of the world, but rather a battle to overcome ourselves - our inimitable egos ...”

Renée Paule
“... we’re lazy when it comes to doing things that are good for us; we also want someone to follow - someone to go first, for them to take the risks thereby smoothing our path; a sort of guarantee that we won’t stumble. Ironically, we also want to be followed in some way; we are both sheep and shepherd.”
Renée Paule, Stepping Out of Time

Renée Paule
“There’s enough pain and suffering in this world, without us volunteering to unnecessarily endure more. Through dispassionate self-observation we can learn much from the experiences that brought us to where we are at this very moment, and we can share that learning with others, as I’m doing with you. How we approach suffering and how we choose to endure it from this moment on is entirely up to us.”
Renée Paule, Stepping Out of Time

Leila I am so delighted that I discovered this book in the first place through Mischenko and was then so generously given this book as a gift to read and enjoy. My thanks go initially to Mischenko then Renee the author who sent me her book entirely free and now more thanks to her editor for his excellent review. What a find!
