Rabbi Pinchus Jung
"Rabbi Shafier has produced a groundbreaking volume, that will change lives. The style is absolutely contemporary, and the ideas as old as the Torah itself. Here is a book you will have a hard time putting down."
Rabbi Pinchus Jung
Menahel, Beis Rochel
Rabbi Hanoch Teller
Just when you thought that you had life all worked out, Rabbi Shafier gets into the nethermost cranial niches of your brain and shmuzifies you into reassessing your priorities, your character, your attitude - everything! He doesn't play fair. Point after meticulously-researched point, he chips away at your preconceived notions and suggests, nay, forces an overhaul. That's why he doesn't play fair.
The Shmuz (Stop surviving and start living?) is not for the complacent; definitely not for those afraid to rock the boat. But if you understand that your mental fan belt is loose; your ability to honor a commitment pathetic, The Shmuz is indicated. Think of middos and machshavos as muscles that can atrophy - and this powerful book as barbells that can keep them fit.
