So much wisdom in this book. I will definitely read this book again in the future (something I don’t really ever do), just to remind myself of everything the author shares. So great, calming, and reflective.

"There is no need to be too occupied with being efficient and rational.
Sometimes it’s fine to try something silly, like filling up an old well with snow.
Don’t expect to produce results immediately. Don’t expect to receive a response immediately.
Don’t complain about the meaning of doing something.
Don’t complain that it’s useless to try to find peace.
There is meaning in just carrying on, believing in what you are doing.
Even if it is just a small action."

I need to hear this now.

This book is easy, simple yet compelling read to cherish the beauty of life. Sometimes, we are caught up in our daily activities and being dragged by them. Up to the point we keep loosing sight of what is really important in our life, thus the book reminds us about that. Besides, this book gives the context of every point that is delivered and it has beautiful illustration. And I can see myself reread the book in the future.

If you need some revelation or positive reinforcement, please read this book!
