Here are some endorsements for various of Robert’s eight books.

“This is not your mama’s self-help book. This book grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you awake. Robert inspires you to walk the high wire of your own truth. I hope you know how insanely rare that is. Robert’s book has blown my mind.” — Lisa Duff, owner, Wetware Media


“I’ve read your book and it’s spiritual food for my heart.” — Ram Dass, spiritual icon, author


“Robert writes as he speaks, with truth and directness that can be matched by few other writers.” — John E. Renesch, futurist, author of Getting to the Better Future


“In every area of life, success is largely a matter of being authentic. You can’t fake it on the court or in front of the camera. You can’t really fool people; you’ve got to be real. Robert’s new book proves this point. He inspires us to speak with authenticity, from the heart.” — John Salley, 4-time NBA champion, TV host


“Robert’s book is raw, original, organic, clear, unashamed, deeply spiritual and direct. It’s the breakthrough book we’ve been waiting for.” — Martin Rutte, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work


“Wonderful, Robert. Thank you for your contribution. Such beautiful work.” — Byron Katie, founder of “The Work”


“Robert Rabbin drinks from the same well-spring as Rumi. He is a champion like Ali because his words float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I couldn’t wait until the next word, the next phrase because they took me to a place I’ve always wanted to go, but didn’t know how to get there. The book is more than words to be read. It is an experience. I was held gently, and I was shaken, but whether resting in comfort or vibrating with what I had just read, I felt closer to the heart of meditation.” — Jim Rosemergy, EVP of Unity Churches, author of A Closer Walk with God and The Transcendent Life


“Once again, Robert Rabbin’s expressions of the ineffable make us stop and be still. Robert gently mentors us toward the Silence in which there is no knowing or becoming — the true Heart of meditation.” — Matthew Greenblatt, editor of Inner Directions Journal


“Robert writes and teaches in such a way that the readers/listeners can have their heart opened in one moment. Bam! Just like that. His every word serves to bring us into the heart of the moment, which is silent and wordless. Only in this way and in this place can life’s essential questions be answered. Robert teaches through his being and thus inspires us to enter our being and drink our own essence.” — Rabbi Avram Davis, Ph.D., author of The Way of the Flame and Judaic Mysticism


“This book is a joyful, luminous expression of timeless spiritual truths. Robert Rabbin is a wise guide.” — Larry Dossey, M. D., author of Healing Words and Recovering the Soul


“These sutras will rock your boat. Yet they are clear, silent, and deep. This is the paradox that Robert surfs so cleanly in his new book.” — Roger Housden, author of Sacred America


“Robert’s book leads us out of conflict into peace. It is written with clarity and simplicity.” — Gerald G. Jampolsky, M. D., author of Teach Only Love


“All the best books on leadership are but trickles from the wellspring of truth to which Rabbin leads us. He inspires and guides leaders reclaim their souls.” — Perry Pascarella, former editor of Industry Week


“I recommend Robert’s book to all who would remember their true, divine nature. Robert Rabbin’s words resonate with a profound experience of Self.” — James Strohecker, co-founder and VP, Health World Online; editor, Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide


“At last someone has had the courage to take a revolutionary stance in favor of spiritual liberation. Robert is calling for a liberation of the human soul. My greatest wish is that his call will be heard and heeded in the boardrooms and offices of every corporation.” — Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., author of The PK Man and The Roots of Consciousness; host of “Thinking Allowed”


“I fell in love with this book, written from heart to heart. I wish it will be read not only by manager/leaders in the narrow sense but by all leaders: mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, grandmothers and grandfathers.” — Rolf Osterberg, former president and CEO of Svensk Filmindustri, author of Corporate Renaissance


“I have long thought that many intellectual leaders of today are modern prophets of a high-tech age. Robert Rabbin’s book shows that he is one of those prophets, guiding us inward to that vast spiritual source where the river of all life first appears.” — William E. Halal, professor of management, George Washington University, author of The Infinite Resource


“If you know who you are, you do not have to read this book. If you do not know who you are, read, learn, and create who you have always been but didn’t know. It is always nice to come home and find yourself. Read and be guided.” — Bernard S. Siegel, M. D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles


“I wholeheartedly endorse this book. Robert’s poetry is a love-swing between the two worlds of doing and being. His poems transport us into the world of mystery and revelation our hearts so long for. Robert knows our everyday experiences are permeated with divine revelation. His poetry points directly to That. His voice is one we should well heed.” — Richard Miller, Ph.D., co-founder of The International Association of Yoga Therapists


“These wise poems and aphorisms point to the heart of meditation, beyond (or rather prior to) all technique. Rabbin reminds us that true meditation is simply being the Mystery of who we really are, free from effort and manipulation.” — Stephan Bodian, psychotherapist, author of Meditation For Dummies


“Robert’s book is an ocean that will rock your boat, strip you of your survival suit of spiritual strategy, and leave you with the one taste of reality.” — Jerry M. Katz, webmaster, Nonduality Salon


“What do you get when you cross Will Rogers with Krishnamurti and Rumi? Robert Rabbin. So, you’ve always wanted to pick the lock on the head of an experienced meditator? Hang ten over the edge of the infinite void and follow Robert Rabbin, your tour guide to inner space. This is a book of enduring beauty, a feast for the eyes and for the spirit.” — Ellen Louise Kahne, Reiki Master, president and founder of Reiki Peace Network and Reiki University, publisher of Reiki Magazine


“Robert Rabbin has achieved the near-impossible; he gives us the essence of the nondual without leaving us stuck in the mind. His aphorisms are simultaneously the map and a glimpse of the actual territory, and remind me of the discourses of the great J. Krishnamurti.” — Kriben Pillay, D. Phil., editor of Noumenon and author of Looking for Muruga


“Make no mistake: this is not a book about public speaking. This is a book about public living! It’s a call to a way of being, a way that each of us can put ourselves in the world. And it is a reminder that the world needs each of us to bring all of us to all we do. The future is calling. Here is the response.” — Alan M. Webber, founding editor, Fast Company magazine; chairman, The Waldzell Meeting


“Throughout his entire incarnation, Robert Rabbin has been clearing a path to enlightenment for real people. It is my opinion that with Speak Truthfully, Robert has found the direct means to help all who dare come into direct contact with the light of their original Self. The essays in this book are beautiful, inspiring, and transformative. Bravo, Robert Rabbin, bravo.” — Rev. Tami Coyne, author of Your Life’s Work: A Guide To Creating A Spiritual And Successful Work Life


“Robert’s book is a must read for anyone genuinely interested in living the authentic life. His writing is powerful, evocative, and incredibly economical. The 5 Principles of Authentic Living — as expressed in just 10 words — exemplify this conciseness, this power, this high-density wisdom.” — John E. Renesch, global futurist, author of Getting to the Better Future: A Matter of Conscious Choosing


“Robert’s book is the answer to all my questions. After reading it I felt washed by a torrent of truth and love. The five principles have become a 24-hour practice for me, a pain in the ass in the beginning, but a nice pain, the one that hurts but feels good too because the principles work, to a depth that is so fulfilling and honest, so pure and true, that there is no other way around it. This book hasn’t only helped me but the loved ones around me; every time they come and complain or need an answer, I sing them the five principles mantra and they come back to themselves. I can only thank Robert for embodying such a powerful work, for being an authentic person living an authentic life, and for sharing it through this book in such a simple and direct way.” — Myriam Negre, artist, photographer


“I am having a love affair with Robert’s new book, and it is killing me softly. You know the feeling: you have butterflies when reading it or thinking about it, which is all the time because it has become your new favorite obsession. You savor every page and never want it to end. Suddenly a new world has opened up inside of you, for you, and it’s the biggest, brightest wonderland of love and lust, of hope and hell, of pain and pleasure; a fantasy and reality rolled into an experience so exciting, so riveting, so personal that it’s even hard to talk about.” — Shakaya Leone, founder, Earth Empress


“These 10 simple words that make up The 5 Principles of Authentic Living, divined by Robert, have led me to deep personal liberation. Through becoming a student of all the wisdom that arises from actively living with these principles in my life, I have changed the very heart of where I think from, and from there I express myself in freedom and as an act of love and service to those around me. No more do I moderate myself and shrink, nor do I have only one volume of communication. I am still vulnerable but I take the risk to put my liberated voice into the world and it is always exhilarating. I now live at an edge that is wide awake, electrified. I trust myself. I enjoy my truth. I set myself free, 10 simple words at a time.” — Lotus Indigo Shakti Kruse, teacher, writer, speaker
