gift.
This book will guide you to the depths of your heart

Only willingness is

With your true Self in

vibrancy.
Now you are present to yourself, to your
companions, and the cosmos. The mountaintop appears and beckons you
into the fullness that has always been awaiting you.
Excerpt:
Dear one, as you set forth on the new adventure offered by this book, give yourself permission to discover new facets of your multi-dimensionality. Allow yourself to vibrate on higher levels, closer to the mountaintop of joy without condition. Allow yourself to hear God say, “You are glorious!” Give yourself permission to say “Yes” whenever Source says “This is who you are.”
Never before has humanity lived in an age so ripe for transformation, happiness, harmony and cooperation.
Never before has the need for transformation been so apparent. Not that the need for transformation has never been so great; rather, the need has never been so visible. The darkness and impurities within the systems in our world are more visible and palpable today because we have entered an era of greater light.
Never before has the world been so prepared for a new arrangement of systems informed by integrity and compassion. Never before have so many people been poised for self-realization and the joy of living from integrity and authenticity.
This book is for those who long for the day when corruption will be replaced by the blossoming of goodness. It is written for those who want to see the flourishing of kindness throughout the world, through systems of commerce, governance, and medicine.
Interview with Elliott Robertson
What book that you have read has most influenced your life?
I’m not sure. I’ve learned most about writing good short stories from reading Alice Munro’s books—she’s published several volumes of short fiction. I’ve been inspired by Hafiz’s books of poems—so inspired that I’ve discovered the poet within me and written hundreds of poems over the years.
The books I quote from the most are: Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, especially the chapter about communication and listening; David Ehrenfeld’s The Arrogance of Humanism; and Julian of Norwich’s The Showings.
Tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know?
Nearly everything I write, be it poetry, blogs, or books, is spiritual. I’ve always been passionate about spirituality. Say Yes to Life is about remembering who you are in truth and falling in love with yourself. Or maybe it’s not about that, but rather a book that invites people to do so, a book that shines a light on this glorious possibility. It’s so easy to get lost in the weeds when we go about our lives from one day to the next. It’s good to have a reminder of the beauty of life and joie de vivre that’s available, waiting for us to open ourselves up to a new experience of life.
Can you tell us something about your book that is not in the summary?
Anyone who is a fan of the classic book by Antoine Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince, will like Say Yes to Life. Antoine Saint-Exupery is a character in my book, in nearly every chapter, and we talk about his experience on the desert with his character, the little prince.
Who knows, Say Yes to Life could revive a widespread interest in The Little Prince. Many readers of Saint-Exupery’s book read the book years ago and might be inspired to go back to it.
Let me add one more thing about this: Say Yes to Life is accessible to everyone. There’s no need to read The Little Prince.
When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?
I’m a natural writer. Writing has never been difficult. Sometimes the words come pouring out of me onto the page as soon as I open my notebook. I always start with pen and paper and then type.
What is your favorite childhood book?
When I was a kid, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Hardy Boys mysteries and Nancy Drew. These books had one cliffhanger after another, at the end of every chapter.
What were your goals and intentions in this book, and how well do you feel you achieved them?
I wanted to write a book that inspires people to live unconditionally—to dwell in the positive even when life isn’t going the way they want it to go. My sense is that the book is full of inspiration, not only coming from me but also borrowed from Antoine Saint-Exupery.
