I'm a self-help junkie. I've been searching for the perfect self-help book, which I know I'll never find. So I take pieces from each book and kind of put them together, in hopes that one day I'll have all the answers. Which again, will never happen. This book in particular, is just like the rest. Wh...
I read this book like 14 years ago and there's still something in my brain that goes back to it. It reminds me not to get upset over things that are little in the grand scheme of life. For me, that speaks to the books message overall.

After a few chapters of reading the e-book, I realized that it's just common sense worded to inspire and remind you ...
