I just pop into this during the day and get little pearls of insight. Easy to read and a good novelty.

This book was originally gifted to me to pursue my interest in the Buddhist way of life by a relative and having read it fully, it is a book that I would recommend everyone to own. It has a collection of phrases, teachings and quotes from the best thinkers alive - not just from Buddhist teachings.
My favourite use of this book is to turn to a random page, roll a die and select a quote, saying or teaching from that page and then attempt to apply it in the real world for that day.
This book taught me a lot growing up and for that reason, I would give it to anyone in the hopes it would do the same for them.
