Great review.

There is a lot of wisdom to be gained from those that have been there and done that. This book to me is like a box of chocolates, you pick the ones you like and leave the others for someone else's enjoyment.

Thanks for another insightful review! The book sounds thought-provoking and inspirational. It's too bad the author didn't use the services of a good editor. Errors are annoying in any published book, but they are also more obvious in a short book.

Hopefully, the newest version will be better edited, especially for such a short book! The Proverbs sound funny and witty, while also being inspirational and thought-provoking.
Thanks for the review!

The wit and humour of this piece appeal to me, although the political side may be something I'd rather not go for. Thank you for your succinct and insightful review.

Quite a thought-provoking book it sounds. Although, I would not care much for the bend towards Christianity, I will, nevertheless, enjoy reading the valuable insights. Thanks for the superb review!

This sounds like an awesome book to keep in your nightstand and give it a read when you need a good laugh or an uplifting quote. I probably wouldn't read it all in one day but browse through it depending on my mood. It would make a great gift, also. I appreciate that you mention who this book isn't suited for. Hopefully, the mistakes will get fixed.
Great review, thanks!

A book of sayings are very soothing during certain situations. The errors are a pity though.

Thank you for the great review.

I work in international settings so "Diplomacy is letting someone else have your way" really tickles me. Thanks for making it clear that there is quite an emphasis on Christianity - I'm non-religious so those parts of books always go over my head.
