Surely, one of the finest titles given to a book, this one is
sure to grasp your attention. After all, most of us would have had this thought
at some point or the other in our lives.
Rather that calling it a book, I would call it a series of pointers
or 101 ways to live your life to the fullest. The chapters are of one-two pages
each which describes one good thing that you could do on a daily basis to make
yourselves memorable (and to lead a happy life).
I would describe this book as your daily dose of goodness. Well
cited with examples, this book is something you could read like a cup of
coffee…a little bit every day. All at once would suddenly seem too bitter or
sweet (as you prefer your coffee!)
Some of the chapters like ‘Take a Walk in the Woods’, ‘Plant
a Tree’ and ‘Drink Fresh Fruit Juice’ just makes you realize how we are
overlooking life’s simple pleasures. Others like ‘ Learn to Say No Gracefully’,
‘Choose Worthy Opponents’ and ‘Use your Commute Time’ all point out to using
your day effectively and adding more meaning to life. The book emphasizes on
not just how to merely exist but how to live life.
Unlike other self help books, this one is neither preachy
nor too long. It talks about the little stuff of goodness we had learnt as kids
which has disappeared during the course of life. A great source of energy and
fresh air to all those who have lost themselves in the materialistic world.
Recommended pocket handbook, this one is rated 4/5 by me.
