[David Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful book with 365 (maybe) daily quotes on life, meditation, kindness. I highlighted most of them. Two shortcomings (that kept this from a 5 rating):
1) The readings are not numbered. I believe that there are 365 (with 2 bonus quotes) but somehow I ended the book on December 2.
2) There is a strict copy limit. I like to cut and paste the best quotes from my daily reading books into my journal, and this book limits copying to the point that I had to type the quotes into the journal myself. Apparently I feel the need to whine about this but it was not a huge deal.

Great book otherwise.

Very good book for everyone. I have seen many negative comments about this book but I don't know what they are seeing negative in this one. It's completely filled with positive quotes and life wisdoms.

I read some of the quotes whenever I am feeling down and it absolutely boosts my mind with happiness and belief.

No doubt 5/5⭐

[Rabin Rai · Rating 5 out of 5]

great book full of quotes of wisdom from eastern and western minds.

Read this one quote a day to allow its significance to resonate deep within your innermost soul.

[Me · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book contains quotes from multiple fake guru to include a child molester, drunk and a cocaine addict.

Too bad further research wasn’t done.

They should consider editing the book and removing these quotes.

I would rerate at that time
