“Martin Neufeld's book is proof that things we take for granted can matter beyond measure. He has turned the simple act of hugging into art, performance, sacrament, and magic. In our cynical world contact and intimacy are often disregarded, taken for granted, or reduced to the merely sexual. It is a great joy to know that there are those who still take the risk of living by what moves within them - call it human, call it spirit, call it ancient or new, daring, obvious, simple, and deep all at once. This book will help you to remember who you are."

“Martin Neufeld's book, Hugging Life is a gentle, soulful and inspirational journey, not unlike one of his inimitable hugs. It's his written hug to everyone who won't have the lovely opportunity to receive the genuine article.”
