In The Press
Caught in the Act is about surrender on several levels:
surrendering what’s unnecessary in life, surrendering attitudes that
keep you from pure enjoyment, surrendering yourself to the moment
letting it take you where it wants to go rather than where you wish to
be taken. The book is unconventional in form and manner, and is told
in a brisk, conversational style that’s immediate and engaging. It has
a mystery and beauty all its own.”
Robert Leiter,
Jewish Exponent
If we’re fortunate, there are a
couple of junctures in our lives when we have the leisure and impetus
to reflect on the past and consider our future.
Caught in the Act witnesses a mature woman contemplating how
what you do becomes what you are. She has a curious mind, an
indefatigable eye for detail and a serious intellect. To see what a
mind like that does with semiretirement, read
Caught in the Act.”

This
is no instructional manual of advice, thankfully; instead it is a book
about learning to surrender. An informed and wellgrounded wisdom
shines forth on every page. While the stories from her life give the
reader a sense of connection to her, somehow the book magically
becomes about you. Her questions become your questions, too. She
writes unpretentiously, as one who finds it unnecessary to state the
obvious. It is tempting to credit her decades as a book editor for the
clarity of her writing, but the ability to turn a rigorous, analytical
mind back on itself requires a degree of personal honesty that only
comes with years of spiritual practice and contemplation. This is what
makes her insight so recognizably human and relevant. It takes both
humility and courage to first see, and then reveal oneself so
forthrightly.
Never mind that she calls herself an
almost-Buddhist,” her grasp of the issues centered around aimless aim”
is right up there with Zen in the Art of Archery. If we don’t
have any goals or intentions with whatever activity we are doing, we
may go nowhere. Yet if we are too focused on results, we burden our
actions with heavy expectations. This book is about finding that
balance in your daily life.”

All those on a spiritual path
will identify with Lippe’s struggles to simply be. Control is what so
many of us aim for and yet surrender to experience is what all the
sages in every mystical tradition tell us to do. Lippe counsels
herself to be welcoming to everything and to relinquish the
attachments that stop her from being present.”

Lippe’s
anecdotes arise from her travels, her friendships, her reading, and
her meditation practice. Her style is clear and revealing. Her book
will appeal to those searching for what is authentic in life, as well
as those dealing with transitions, including retirement. In becoming
intimate with her journey, readers have the opportunity to tune in to
their own.”
