This book was just ok...if you were a fan of Who Moved My Cheese then this one may disappoint you a bit.  The story was good but extremely repetitive!  It's a good book for a quick read but I wouldn't suggest buying this book, I'd suggest borrowing it.

This is one of my favorite recent finds. Appreciate the short, quick, easy to read story with compelling life lessons for us all
A simply brilliant story that clearly conveys common sense ideas we tend to ignore. Want to share this with everyone I know as it's a story about life & LIVING....

The book is by the famous author (Spencer Johnson) who wrote "Who moved my cheese?".

I hardly read any so-called "self-help" books, partly because I believe that at my age, the ROI of me reading such books to "help" myself would be quite low. 

Besides, I am beyond any help.

 The book is by the famous author (Spencer Johnson) who wrote "Who moved my cheese?".

I hardly read any so-called "self-help" books, partly because I believe that at my age, the ROI of me reading such books to "help" myself would be quite low. 

Besides, I am beyond any help.

Anyway, this one talks about.... surprise, surprise... the peaks and valleys of life. But one of the important points is to differentiate and segregate the ups-and-lows that is happening to one, and the feelings insides that one has about these.

The latter may not be controllable, but being conscious about the inner feelings can and these can be turned into personal peaks.

Worth a read.   hide

I really liked this book.  It helps me to relook at more than my work, but to look at how this plays out in my entire life.

This is an excellent book.
