I purchased this book to help me stay peaceful n mindful n present. I luv the stories n will b buying again N giving as gifts. We all could use peace in these difficult times!

Excellent read. Many helpful and interesting stories.

Easy wisdom read

There are a number of spelling errors in this book, however the stories are good. Four stars for not proof-reading what I am assuming is a book reproduced by AI perhaps?

This book has 52 stories in it. My husband and I read one story a week for a year. I found them to be inspirational. The stories were a positive step in the week ahead.

Absolutely love this book. Each story is a simple read with a powerful message. I plan on buying more copies for gift giving.

I debated 2 or 3 stars. I ordered this for my husband bc it popped up with our recommended reading, and it had good reviews. The stories are ok-ish at best. Pros- short stories, so you can easily read one per day before bed. Cons- The stories are painfully predictable and all extremely similar… you’ll almost be rolling your eyes halfway through the book. Perhaps best suited for a young child. I would say buy this book if you are wanting to read a bedtime story to a younger child, and discuss the moral with them. Not quite as good as a classic fable, but still ok. I will note this came up bc our Eckhart Tolle purchases- if you JUST finished ET, and this comes up, save yourself slipping out of the now, and don’t purchase.

So MANY thoughtful and inspiring re-MIND-ers ! Loved this book :-)
