"This book can not be over-estimated. I use this book the way others refer to the bible. (I DO also read the Bible, The Qu'ran and other religous books as well) However, the advice in this little book is invaluable. There are days when I am troubled and I will meditate on the problem, run my thumb over the pages and pick a random spot and it never fails to deliver some sage and relevant advice. EVERYONE should have a copy."
"Packed full of beautiful prose, and just as applicable 400 years after it was written. It's one of many I would have loved to see in high school literature classes. Wonderful life instruction, presented from an interesting cultural viewpoint."
