I think this is a wonderful book! Just when you think you have too much on your plate, this book shows you that this is all you need the rest is just "fluff". A great book and full of inspiration.
Given to my by my father after a significant life change, it has seen me through deaths, graduations, break ups, make ups, emotional and financial struggles.
one of those easy, thoughtful books.
Read it in the past...re-reading it again. Always good.
Very good philosophy on subjects such as money, love, marriage, death, work, giving, possessions, etc. I can't say I agreed with all his "truths", however, it gives you room for thought on the matter.
The title says it all. I can't count how many copies of this book I've purchased as gifts for friends in crisis.
