This is a short, spiritual book published in 1923, full of wisdom and fruit for the soul....How many books do we read and discard? Well, this is one that you can keep thinking about and referring to, as a real self-help guide but also with beautiful writing.

I hadn't heard of the author or the book until I received it as a present. Now I've learned that he is the 3rd bestselling author after Shakespeare.

It's a moving book due to the simple style of the writing that covers major topics of Love, Marriage, Law, Language, Time etc....

But the sentences are biblical with resonance and yet it does not preach. You will keep returning to it to learn and think more about life and life's forces. It speaks not with science or with absolutes, but experience and truths.....

You will struggle to find a book that is so full of wisdom as this one, and yet not overtly religious. There is no particular story here, just the premise of a man about to leave for his home, and talking to those he knows before he leaves.....


If ever a book was deep, this is it.


I'm not certain if my copy is the same as this one. Mine comes with the orginal artwork of the author inside it, which is quite like William Blake, but more accessible. He was a wise and talented guy.
