To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we do not use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
A lot of platitudes. Some truism passing as wisdom. Some wise parts to be sure. But, in my view, it quickly and then regularly crosses the line; just short of prescribing that you too, like Yoda’s can lift an X wing fighter with positive thoughts alone. Didn’t bother to finish it. But it was recommended to me by someone who was totally supportive of all the material. So maybe it’s just the force isn’t strong with me. Though, I admire and subscribe to the examples in (the late great) Steven Covey’s books about those who do not let their extreme situation, affect their choice of though and behaviour.
Both my husband and I read this and feel it is up there with one of the best books we have read on self improvement and law of attraction. You have to read it several times to take in all the gold nuggets. We will probably read this the rest of our lives a couple of times a year. It is an easy read, but so much substance. Highly recommend.
I have spent the last two months in enjoying this book. I have read a chapter here, a paragraph there and a sentence there. This is one of the top for best books I've ever read on happiness. The messages are communicated and such a fun and easy plus approachable manner that is this is the book I can recommend to everybody. I also think this is the book that I will give to people as gifts I've already gifted it as a Christmas present to a good friend of mine. I believe the time you spend reading this book will be highly valuable for you.

If you're like me, you already have grasped this content in your life, perhaps decades ago. But also, I relish revisiting and reconnecting with motivation and growth materials. This little book is a delight. With it's whimsical illustrations and simple style, it is deceptively easy to read. But the wisdom imparted is the real deal and the book is like taking a warm relaxing bath. Read it for pleasure and for immersion in the things that truly matter in our lives. Highly recommend.

Like all of his books, this one is simply wonderful. I know I'll read it again and again. It made me laugh, smile and, best of all, think! Probably none of this is brand new; what is different is what he says and how he says it. He gets right to the point. How anyone can be so down-to-earth practical and sensible and so humorous at the same time is amazing.
