Description
A spirited guide to living fully in the present moment, Enjoy Your Self Now! distills Pat Croce’s transformative spiritual journey into 66 practical “sacred shifts”— simple yet profound changes in perception that reveal the peace, joy, and clarity already within you.
From bestselling author, entrepreneur, and adventurer PAT CROCE comes a transformational companion for seekers and skeptics alike. In Enjoy Your Self Now!, Croce—former president of the Philadelphia 76ers and founder of Meditation Hill Sangha—shares 66 accessible spiritual practices drawn from his own awakening path. Each “sacred shift” blends story, reflection, and timeless wisdom from sages and mystics such as Buddha, Jesus, Rumi, Lao Tzu, and Ramana Maharshi, offering readers a direct path from the restless mind to peaceful Presence.
Through relatable tales and illuminating exercises—like “Insert the 6-Second Sacred Pause,” “Exercise the Let Me Go Muscle,” “Reboot Problem to Challenge,” “Smile at Serendipity,” and “Create a Haiku”— Croce bridges East and West, psychology and spirituality, ego and Self.
His voice is grounded, humorous, and deeply human, making this book both an inspiring read and an experiential guide.
Advance Praise
“Enjoy Your Self Now! is an engaging self-help guide to awakening to the present and fostering peace and contentment, no matter what.” – Foreword Reviews
“"Enjoy Your Self Now!" is ideal for a daily reflective and meditative period to exercise and explore the mind, imagination, and soul with poetry, commentary, observation that is insightful, inspiring, thoughtful, and thought-provoking.” – Midwest Book Review
“Reflective, engaging, and thought-provoking, Croce’s guide ultimately invites readers to look within, declaring that “the true spiritual path is like playing in a sandbox of paradox.” Though the process is challenging, he reassures readers that, with focused work, persistence, and an open mind, they can experience the “nature of ever-present Peace, crazy Love, and causeless Happiness.” In today’s climate, that’s an alluring promise indeed.” - BookLife
“Croce offers readers bite-size mindfulness advice that should be easy to implement…. Memorable three-word mantras like “Space is Grace” or “RAIN on pain!” help readers retain each chapter’s lessons.” – Kirkus Reviews

A really great book that was perfect for me at this time in my life. Shorter chapters and plenty of guidance. Great job by the author. Great self help book.

I can't wait to share this book with my husband, as he is more interested in meditation than I am. I did like how the book was structured, and I found I have a lot to learn from Croce's words. It is an informative resource. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This is an excellent, beautifully laid out book of short chapters. Each chapter gives us a different way to experience the sacred in our lives. I’ve been on a spiritual path for a very long time and some of these are new and inspiring to me! I appreciate the time and effort the author put in to each of these nuggets of wisdom. Each chapter begins with a quotation relating to the theme, an explanation of the activity or process or practice, a story from the author‘s own life, and a very short reflection question at the end. There is lots here to think about and grow with. This book would make an excellent gift for anyone in your life on a spiritual journey, or for yourself!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher, for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Enjoy Your Self Now!: 66 Sacred Shifts to Instantly Awaken the Peaceful Presence Within You by Pat Croce is an uplifting and encouraging guide to mindfulness, self-awareness, and personal transformation. Through a collection of practical insights and reflective exercises, Croce invites readers to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate greater peace and purpose in their daily lives.
One of the book's greatest strengths is its approachable format. The 66 "sacred shifts" are presented in digestible, easy-to-apply lessons that allow readers to absorb the material at their own pace. Rather than feeling overwhelming, the book encourages gradual growth through small but meaningful changes in perspective and behavior.
Pat Croce's writing is warm, positive, and engaging. His enthusiasm for personal development shines through on every page, making the book feel more like a supportive conversation than a traditional self-help manual. Many of the insights serve as valuable reminders to live more intentionally, appreciate the present moment, and focus on what truly matters.
The reason this earns four stars rather than five is that some of the concepts may feel familiar to readers who regularly read mindfulness or personal growth books. While the message is inspiring, there are moments when the material covers well-established principles rather than offering entirely new ideas.
