Five Star Amazon Review of May You Have a Day: Making Every Day Better with the Teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov
Brilliant in the simplicity and brevity of each individual lesson, this book captures and articulates universal emotional experiences and the struggles that may accompany them. As a reader, I experienced this book as grounding and validating. As a psychologist, I find this to be an incredible resource, for both the spiritually-connected professional and layperson alike.
Informed by Rebbe Nachman’s teachings, each of the lessons in the book provide a spiritual frame of reference that is practical and applicable, and can help the reader reframe their internal and lived experiences. Concrete strategies are provided that show how to appreciate and cope with personal challenges. There are also suggested practices that provide emotional relief and regulation as well as spiritual growth.
The book contains short chapters that require only a few minutes to read. It’s possible to read a lesson daily, or more or less frequently. This book provides me with my daily fix: fueling my soul, planting seeds to sprout over time, and diffusing my experience of day-to-day challenges. I’m so thankful to read a book so rich in emotional and spiritual nourishment.
I highly recommend it to all seeking a better way to understand one’s internal experiences, spirituality, relationships and the challenges we all have.
In this class we take themes from Rebbe Nachman’s lesson 5 as well as Reb Noson’s abridged version, and explore real-life applications. How to know yourself, how to implant joy in your heart, philosophical ideas and how they can dull our sense of joy and connection to Hashem, how your energetic personal prayer provides the “thunder” you need to bring yourself to joyful connection, the contextual meaning of “tikkun olam”, and more.

Remember how swiftly you moved from tears to joy as a child? As an adult, sadness and disappointment can linger longer. During the 10 days of teshuvah between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, it’s time to recapture that childlike mode and tap into joy.

Rebbe Nachman emphasizes the importance of being joyful, even manufacturing joy. He encourages us to push ourselves towards joy, even if it requires force. Looking for the good in ourselves and others — actively seeking the good points — is the way to achieve a happier life made of many joyful moments. By bringing joy to others and helping them forget their sorrows, you build joy for yourself.
