This is not the type of book that you would sit down and read straight through. It's more for reflection. Read a chapter or two, think about it. Go back and reread it. I've been keeping it on my bedside table to read at the end of the day. Nerburn has such a good way of expressing himself, addressing difficult topics, and just adding another perspective. I will be referring back to this book for a long time.I bought this book at a book fair simply because it was discounted - and let me tell you - it was the most valuable purchase I've ever made. I have read this book dozens of times. It is like my bible. Kent Nerburn is truly a wise person. I was so moved by the wisdom in this book, that I have actually made it the standard gift that I give to every high school/college graduate I know. And I've also picked up a copy to give to a friend who is going through a particularly rough time in their life and needs some clarity and understanding. Nerburn has a knack for knowing how to bring the important issues back into focus.Just buy the book - there's not enough room here for me to fully explain why you should. Suffice it to say, its content is worth more than any price they could put on it, trust me.I LOVE Kent Nerburn's books!! I recommend them all of the time. Very eloquently written and you feel like you are there with him.A lot of wisdom, not preachy.Great little book filled with a lot of wisdomThoughtful. Have shared parts with friends who have been ill and small women’s groups.Short, simple, very wise. Not at all preachy or judgmental. Perfect gift for graduation or for someone going through a life change. I like to read my copy every few years. Also, a side benefit is that it is an attractive book to display.Couldn't find this book anywhere else and wanted to get a copy for my sixteen year old son. Great insights at a great price and fast delivery.
