After reading Silent Alarm, I did a couple of things. I wrote a review on the book and its impact on me, the result of which was my post last week called “My Silent Alarm“. Many of you shared your views with your comments. I thank you for your insights and kind words.
The book made me do something else too, which I normally don’t do but sure am glad I did. I emailed the author, John Blumberg, and shared my views with him. As I had hoped, John responded. It is my honor to share with you the words of the author himself.

Raj …
Thank you, so much, for your most kind follow-up email. I apologize it has taken me so long to get back with you. I got significantly behind on emails in trying to take off some time for the Holidays and am just now making a dent in getting caught back-up!
I am so glad that you found Silent Alarm to be a meaningful read! And I am excited that you have created a new section on your website titled “My Journal.” I enjoyed reading your YES MAN and YOUR SILENT ALARM entries!
This life does pull us in many directions, yet I am convinced we can improve our experience when we live in a more intentional way. To make it work, it is likely to be an ongoing initiative since we likely never arrive at finally being on top of all of it!
Thanks again for taking the time to reach out with your experience in reading Silent Alarm. Your email truly made my day!
I wish you the very best in this New Year and experience many blessings … seen and unseen!
John
