This book could be read cover to cover, but would also make a great book to have hanging around for those moments when you are feeling down or discouraged. Just pick it up and read a few stories and get motivated again.

If you do decide to just tackle the book one story at a time, flip through the table of contents to the category that jumps out at you and then read the story titles and pick the one that strikes your fancy. I would bet that’s the story you NEED to read at that moment. Our subconscious knows.
I stuck my copy in the bathroom to read when I have a moment or two (whether that be actually using the bathroom or hiding from my kids for a few moments of peace – oh wait, you do that too don’t you?)
It would make a great gift for the child who has gone to college or moved away for the first time or perhaps someone who has been down and needs a little boost.
