The Little Book of Wisdom: Change Your Outlook One Day at a Time (The Little Book of Series)

Good content but would have preferred a normal sized paperback format. Not too expensive though

The little book of wisdom is probably one the most concise books on personal mental health you can get.Whilst there are many books out there of the same genre,what makes this little book stand out is it's easiness to read.Although written from the perspective of a Buddhist,it does not criticise any religion or indeed asks that you believe in Buddhism,only that you are aware of just how much control you have over your own thinking & life's direction.If approached with an open mind,one can easily see the ultimate message regardless of personal beliefs.Produced in a way where it can be read as a sort of daily affirmation,I found this book to be of great help towards a better understanding of myself,my place in this world & everyone & everything around me.The self,being the one true relationship where once understood,puts most if not all things into their proper perspectives is what this book intends to do in a simple,concise way.(Each page has no more than a few sentences on varying subjects)I often find myself buying this book for many people I know & meet who seem to be at a point in their lives where they need some help with regards to their personal well being,with a suprising degree of success - ie: In some small measure it helped them compartmentalise everyday difficulties which with an unhealthy mind can become intricate & un-necessarily problematic.This book is not a magic wand,but if the teachings are applied to everyday thinking can certainly lead to a healthier frame of mind,which in the end,is what we all could do with.I would recommend the Dalai Lama's little book of wisdom to anyone even mildly intersted in promoting within themselves &/or others a healthy way of thinking & living.It has certainly helped me.

Great little book Great reading for beginners

The little book of happiness should be owned by everyone. This tiny little book has a simple, non-cryptic message on every page and is perfect to dip into for a little inspiration.Perfect for even non-spiritual people, this book suggests small and practical ways to change the way we think and interact with people to help us be happier in our every day life.The Dalai Lama takes a non-dogmatic approach to showing us that we don't need to change our environment to achieve happiness, but by making small changes to the way we think inside, we can achieve true and lasting happiness, not just for ourselves but for the people around us and the world as a whole.I'm not even the slightest bit spiritual, but after reading this book, I was inspired to read "The Art of Happiness", also by the Dalai Lama. By taking on-board the simple advice offered, I am no longer stressed-out all the time, and find life a lot easier to take.I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone at all.

A tiny book, quite interesting but not what I was hoping for

Cute little book which is small in size but mighty on content! Not life-changing info in my opinion but nice little thought provoking one liners to keep your mind on the straight and narrow!

It is a mini book, and really fits with the purpose of why I brought it (small gift). However, came slightly damaged as was not bubble wrapped.

A very quick read, but amazing to read.
