[John Fredrickson]

This book is a collection of verses, sometimes single sentences, from many different spiritual traditions or spiritual leaders. The sayings are well-chosen, and they are accompanied by very elegant oriental drawings. I have bookmarked several of these sayings for future reference.

While the selection is well-done, many of these sayings are quite well-known. This book is a great coffee table book, and this is probably the intent.

[Jessica Barcomb]

Love this book. Wonderful to look at to regain perspective.

[Anthony]

A book of quotes from some of the greatest minds in zen buddhism, taoism, and stoicism. Not much more to say. Would recommend, if just to make the reader aware and humble.

[Justin]

For those who want a quick dose of Zen.
