Here's what some readers have said:

"Ruth Schwartz has vital knowledge and stories to impart. You will not only read her book, you will refer to it again and again like your secret manual for thriving and breathing hopeful life in our dispassionate, self-absorbed world." - Nancy Wilson

"You could read Soul on Earth: a guide to Living and Loving Your Human LIfe quickly, but why would you? Each chapter is a gem highlighting a distinct personal growth idea, self-reflective questions/suggestions on how to apply the concepts to one's own life and a descriptive vignette. Ruth's generous self-disclosures also invite the reader to pursue her own inner work. Ruth has the ability to break complex ideas from a wide range of psychological, biological and spiritual thought into their dynamic essence. For me, reading a chapter an evening is a rich diet." Caroline LeBlanc

"In Soul on Earth, a guide to Living and Loving Your Human Life, Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D. channels material from her spirit guides, much as Jane Roberts did in the 70's with her Seth books, which had a deep and lasting influence on my life. Ruth delivers guidance on the nature of reality and the challenges of personal transformation that are equally profound, and she goes an appreciable step further by demonstrating the material with stories and shamanic journeys from her personal life. I appreciate that candor and integration." - Susa Silvermarie

It is only by loving and accepting ourselves exactly as we are in this moment – and by allowing ourselves to know, feel, accept and receive life’s love for us, as we are --  that we make change  possible.  No matter who, what or how we are, we are infinitely lovable and absolutely worthy -- and our natural state, like the natural state of all living organisms, is a state of growth toward even fuller expression of ourselves. - Ruth L. Schwartz

[In a state of] maturity and mastery of the physical plane…we have ideally developed a healthy conscience and concern for others. We are motivated by a desire to give back to the world, offering the skills we have developed and the wisdom we have gained. We understand and work within the limitations of physicality; we shape matter in service of spirit, stewarding rather than dominating, sharing rather than hoarding. We look inwardly for guidance. We walk our talk. There is no split between who we are and what we do. – Stephanie Austin

To create, or organize, material energy, or truth, or beauty… we must learn continually to jettison the form which our labor or art or thought first took, and go in search of new forms. Over and over again we must go beyond ourselves, tear ourselves away from ourselves, leaving behind us our most cherished beginnings. -Teilhard de Chardin

 "The next thing you do could change the world." - Refrigerator Magnet

"Something new is stirring in our midst. Each day, more and more of us are awakening to a calling to participate in the great work of consciously evolving ourselves and our world." - Craig Hamilton
