Here's a challenge. Open the book to any random page, place your finger anywhere, and read one line. You'll want to memorize whatever line you just read. The book is that good.

I liked it so much and flagged so many things that I went ahead and added it to my Amazon wish list. Especially valuable for me were passages that reminded me about doing my best with the portion I’ve been given, developing virtues such as tolerance and integrity, not squandering my most precious resource of all. TIME. I’m settling into a different phase of life and I need not flippant and trivial advice, but rock solid guidance that feels as deep as the feelings I’m having. This was a great read for me right now. It wasn’t too long. It didn’t feel preachy. Felt more like a collection of essays that related to and strengthened each other.

This is an amazing book written more than a century ago (1902). A very powerful guide to for individuals to stay away from common pitfalls and contribute more positively towards humanity and therefore for themselves. Folks do not need to become billionaires before they can do charity - truly lot more problems can be solved by collective effort to remove selfish causes.

Man is usually loyal to what he most desires... (Some are) loyal to what he finds the heavier, that which he desires more - for example, money. But this is not truth. Truth is the heart's loyalty to abstract right, made manifest in concrete instances.

Wow. Written in 1902. Took me learning the hard way most of my life so far to learn a lot of this stuff. There is zero filler or fluff. As others have said, any page, any sentence has meaning that will make you get a better perspective.

It's old. And it's small. But it is still mighty strong.

It is in the trifles of daily life that truth should be our constant guide and inspiration. Truth is not a dress-suit, consecrated to special occasions, it is the strong, well-woven durable homespun for daily living. P.10
The man who has a certain religious belief and fears to discuss it, lest it may be proved wrong, is not loyal to his belief, he has but a coward’s faithfulness to his prejudices. If he were a lover of truth, he would be willing at any moment to surrender his belief for a higher, better, and truer faith. P.17
No real success, no lasting happiness can exist except it be founded on the rock of truth. P.19
The supreme folly of the world, the saddest depths to which the human mind can sink, is atheism. P. 71
It is Nature’s proclamation that, in the end, Right must triumph, Truth must conquer, and Justice must reign. P. 118

This book was in my father's library, a gift from Heber J. Grant when Dad was serving as a missionary. It is full of beautiful messages such as those in the above quotes. Very inspirational, uplifting and motivating.

We (Joshua and I) LOVE anything and everything by William George Jordan, but this one is our favorite.

[Spencer Glancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Possibly the most influential non-religious text in my life so far

Olha, eu acho que esse livro deveria ser lido por todo mundo. Tem muita coisa importante, muita reflexão. Ele é curtinho, da pra ler super rápido.

[Joy Bratton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Impressive that the book was written in 1902. I can see links to recent self help books. I enjoyed the author’s vivid analogies. I underlined something on almost every page.
