In my opinion everyone should read this book (I’ve read it twice and I hate rereading things). It is an absolutely stunning piece of literature that evokes such inner contemplation and cause the reader to really step back and ask themselves questions about their “personal legend”. I realize that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you ever are board or are someone who enjoys introspection this is a good read. However, if you get this version specifically please make sure to read the introduction because it helps with your understanding of what a “personal legend” is.
