I think we should be showing this book to young adults. As a young adult myself, I now see the world from a bigger perspective. I have forgiven many people who I saw as unforgivable, and have made new friends from people I have never batted an eye at. Why are we not using this book in more schools?

We were supposed to assess the events in the plot and the bonds between the people written. I think that we should be doing more with this book. I know I will never be the same after reading this extraordinary piece of literature, and I wish that they would talk more of it. The way that they are having us examine the book, takes away what we have been taught from it. I think that this should be required by every high school student to read, but we should be allowed to examine it by ourselves without lesson plans, and I think this is why not many teachers require us to read it. The meaning of the book gets lost when someone else explains it to you.(less)

One of the most beautiful thought provoking books I have ever read . Condenses all the key messages of life .. truly beautiful and heart warming . Sometimes the best messages are the simple ones , as a species we always try to over egg the cake and much good it does us. The end will come to us all , and I would rather live by this books mantra than that of the current culture around around me today?

What type of content is in this book?

Shake Speare Most of the content is an old man who meets regularly with an even older man in order to gain wisdom and complete his community service.

A book which certainly has a lot to impart but again in a bit too straightforward manner which does not sound as convincing as it should. The theme or the message(s) ingrained in the book certainly hold much more value than the dues given. I wish it contained a few more relatable instances or that the conclusions were drawn more meticulously. But that does not mean that it required to give up on its simplicity. Agree?

Mitch's "advice" was a tiny bit too "straightforward" (cliche, trite, and sounded like 200 pages of crocodile tears) and I do wish some (all) of his writing was more "relatable" (sounded like he had put any honest thought into it).
