                                                                        MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK                                                              

"Never judge or interfere with anyone’s life, because the ugly things you see from the outside looking in may very well be your own reflection."
This was not a bad book of quotes by any means. It just left me wanting more than what I got. Some of the quotes are obvious and daily life, but the collection is well curated and thought out. The quotes in this book are inspired by the author’s difficulties and challenges in life. Author Richard Aaron seems to have experienced a lot in life based on the quotes inside this book.

The book is formulated in a way that I liked. I found it very easy to read. Each page has a single quote comprising of around three lines on each page. Some of these are original quotes formulated by the author while others which are identified as taken from various philosophers. I would have loved to know more about who said what.

“If you feel there are many swords within your back, do not fight back half lifeless. Rather focus on removing one sword at a time, and use the last sword for battle.”
This quote seems a little like the art of war. It is a good one, yes. It is sensible and typical, but I wish he would have added some thoughts as to how he felt about that or why he came up with that individual quote.

“Always trust spirit before man, because without spirit there can be no man.”
This quote is super accurate but once again typical.

“Never give attention to an idiot. Where attention flows energy goes. A fool deserves no energy to operate.”
This is one of the best quotes in the book. We give so much attention to those that bring us down. We need to remember they are fools and don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

“Living alone for a season can be nourishing to the soul. But living alone for too long will cause great schizophrenia, as you only have yourself to talk to.”
As a person with a mother with Schizophrenia, I find this quote super offensive. You cannot cause Schizophrenia-like that and it really rubs me the wrong way. So for this, the book loses a star in my opinion.
