“I have had a very spiritual experience reading / processing this book. I think this is especially because it is easy to place myself in the illustrations.”
- John V.
“I read this little book 3 TIMES! And each time, I picked up on something else to comment about, which, I concluded, means that there is much to be pondered over and devoured, and it seems to depend on the frame of mind you are in when reading it what will "ring a bell" this time.”
- Kathy K.
“I'm craving simplicity these days and this hits the nail on the head!”
- Laura D.
“I was happy with the depth and relatability of this book. It’s definitely less self-centered and more satisfying than popular pseudo-psychology memes of cutting out toxic people. Challenging in a good way.”
- Katie N.
“It offers tangible advice via scenarios, on how to bring out the best in oneself and how this helps others become the best versions of themselves too.”
- Tim F.
"it is magnificent. Well done. I will refer to it often and share it with those I love."

Tips for hosting a book discussion
-
Groups of two and four work really well.
-
Ideally, every 1-2 people should have a view to the text and pictures while reading.
-
Alternate readers for each page going around clockwise.
-
Each person reads the entirety of a single page and then passes to the next person.
-
After each chapter, ask if folks are okay to keep going, or have any comments they'd like to share first.
-
Continue through the whole book if you're feeling up to it, or stop when something resonates and needs more time.
-
Try some of the discussion questions at the back of the book.
-
Keep your body language open, for example, avoid crossing your arms.
-
Look others in the eyes while they are speaking, but try to keep your expression open to them.
-
The most rich discussions often have roughly equal talking time from each person present.
-
If someone has not shared, ask if there is something they would like to share, but they don't have to.
-
Before wrapping up, thank each person for being present and for what has been shared.
-
We are each a gift to each other.
