What wisdom - what entertainment.
Customer Rating:
An invaluable book... delve in anywhere; and if one quote doesn't "speak to your condition", you're bound to find a dozen others that do. It's witty; inspirational; kind; meditative - and I've bought so many copies as gifts that I reckon I'll soon be 'on commission' for sales! (That's a jest). It's my travelling companion on whatever part of the globe I may be.
Wisdom? Hardly.
Customer Rating:
Trite and disappointing. Reads like a box of fortune cookies. Small thoughts masquerading as deep thoughts. The blurbs are so similar that it's nearly impossible to tell one page from the next.

This book should be Audio!!
Customer Rating:
It's a great book to pick up and scan through. I think it would be even better if the book was on a disk I could put in my Car CD player. With maybe some meditative music in the background I could just let the words of wisdon sink in on my way home from work. Could someone let me know if that is already a work in process?
Inspirational
Customer Rating:
I love this book! Daily I read just a few pages to inspire me and sets my mood for the day to do things more wisely. One sentence quotes from Proverbs, to saying heard you heard growing up. This is a fun book to keep in your car to read in traffic or in a bathroom setting. A great gift for those that might be feeling down.
