Review By: Sylvia Garner
Lyle L. Simpson’s Fully Human / Fully Alive is a powerful and enlightening work that speaks directly to the heart of anyone searching for a deeper, more fulfilling life. Rooted in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the book unveils a compelling truth: a vast majority of people remain on the social level, unaware of the richer experiences that exist beyond it. Simpson guides readers to explore those higher levels with compassion, clarity, and practicality. He doesn’t just point out the barriers — he shows you how to navigate around them, all without demanding you abandon your beliefs. Instead, he empowers you to free yourself from the limitations they may impose, opening the door to a truly liberated and meaningful life.
What sets this book apart is its deeply respectful and human approach. Many self-help books focus on tearing down what you believe before building you up again. Fully Human / Fully Alive takes the opposite route — it acknowledges where you are and offers detours and bridges that honor your existing values while still pushing you toward growth. This makes the journey less intimidating and far more personal. Simpson’s wisdom, drawn from his decades of leadership and advocacy, shines through every chapter, creating a reading experience that feels like a conversation with a trusted mentor rather than a lecture.
From the first chapter to the last, the book keeps you engaged, offering a blend of insight, encouragement, and actionable advice. It’s not just about theory; it’s about giving you tools to actually change your life. The balance between intellectual depth and emotional resonance ensures that the lessons stick with you long after you close the book. This is a rare guide that can genuinely help you move from simply existing to living fully — and for that reason, it deserves a place on every reader’s shelf.
