“Peter Himmelman’s songs and music have been my source of inspiration in the past two decades. Suspended by No String now takes us to the magical world of poetry and, with merciless honesty, transforms, elevates, and cuts deeply into every mundane bastion of reality. Warmly recommended!” —Judea Pearl, Turing Prize winner, author of The Book Of Why, and Professor of Computer Science at UCLA

“Peter Himmelman has a great gift for helping us open our minds, discover new ideas, and express ourselves.” —Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize winning author (King, Ali, Capone, Luckiest Man)

“The creative mind of Peter Himmelman is illuminated through the lens of his philosophical and existential reflections in this fascinating blend of memoir, personal journal and self-help inquiry. Our fascinating guide’s “notes to self” are an invitation to ask ourselves fundamental questions about life and death, the meaning of experience, and how to awaken our own minds to address these important foundations of our time, here in these material bodies, on this journey of life on Earth.” —Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. New York Times bestselling author, IntraConnected, Mind, and Aware
