Laikam laime jāmeklē sevī nevis grāmatās.

[Sivaprasad Haridas · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's purely a self help but which helped me a lot. I was not a person who involve in other people's emotions and problems. I was self guided and self motivated, who never had any issues with dealing with other people, and how to stay in a good, friendly and healthy relationship. So this helped me a lot to overcome and I can feel this aura which covers me around and protects me. It's like a vaccination of staying and leading a good relationship. So a very crisp and powerful book that everyone has to take a look on. Especially for business people and the people who are gonna start a new business.

A little trite and heteronormative, these stories (how true are they?) remind us to be better people but they became pretty formulaic after a while.

He got lazy toward the end. The last chapter was just a bunch of quotes from other people! But overall quite a useful book. I'll try to apply the lessons to my own relationships.

Jā, kārtējā pašpalīdzības grāmata, bet kāpēc gan ne, ja vismaz viena doma IR uzrunājusi?

12 vienkārši laimes noslēpumi. Grāmatas autors Glens van Ekerens ir uzrakstijis citātu un ideju pilnu grāmatu, kas uzrunā mani un liek to lasīt atkal unn atkal.
Es apzinos, cik grūti ir šajos laikos veidot attiecības. Pat brāļa un māsas attiecības, kā arī draudzība ar darba biedriem. Glens jūs iedrošinās atbalstīt, mācīs izpratni un iejūtību. Katrā nodaļā ir būtiski attiecību principi.
Lai gan šī grāmata ir maza, taču šajā grāmatā ir attēloti dažādi dzīves stāsti un patiesi notikumi, kuri tiešām ir ļoti aizraujoši un interesanti.
Šajā grāmatā aprakstītie pieņēmumi ir tiešām iedarbīgi. Šī grāmata ir netiekai viegla un rosinoša, bet arī nopietna un dziļu pārdomu pilna, turklāt noderīga lasāmviela. Izlasot šo grāmatu jūs drīzvien pamanīsiet pārmaiņas savā dzīvē.
Dažkārt jums būs jāsmejas, dažkārt nāksies aizdomāties. Katra lapaspuse sniegs jums dziļāku izpratni pašam par sevi.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very practical and highly recommended. Any application brought on by this book and the world would be a happier, better place. But similar words have been said of lesser books.

[Suzanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a cute book with great anecdotes about how to find joy in relationships and not dwell on negative. The same author writes for the Chicken Soup series. Useful for a boost of positivity!
