1/5 - I probably would’ve appreciated this more as a kid. If you’re an adult, it’s all things you should know.

[Philip · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short read, but very enjoyable. Each law is written in short digestible chunks easy for people like me with smoother brains. Offers a lot of interesting but probably commonly known things for making life easier, slowing down and finding that peace in life that we often take for granted or never execute on.

Would recommend/10

[Matthew Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick but very insightful read! This is definitely a book you revisit and reflect on regularly. Some laws are easily applicable while others may take some critical thinking to implement. Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of background

[Levi · Rating 1 out of 5]

A regurgitated self-help book. No sources or references exist in the book, leaving the reader with no path to retrieve more information if they so wished.

This is more so a book of statements, rather than laws. If you’re going to tell people to be consistent, it would be wise to refer to those in philosophy who have written or spoke about the positives of consistency. Alongside that, one could also provide examples of where consistency has helped others, past or present. Please don’t just say be consistent and be done with it.

One for the skip pile.

This guide delivers bite-sized wisdom on inner peace, with simple but solid reminders like releasing expectations and practice self-forgiveness.

The messages feel like something you’d scroll past on TikTok—motivational and familiar, but still useful.

The downside? It’s short. The actual “laws” take up just 59 pages, and the rest is filled with repetitive reflection questions, making the price feel a little steep for what you get.

If you’re looking for a quick pep talk or daily affirmations, it works. But if you want depth or fresh insights, this one leans more toward a stretched-out pamphlet than a truly impactful guide.

The 44 Laws of Peace offers a collection of simple yet profound rules that feel like a compass for living with more clarity, kindness, and purpose. The brevity of the book makes it digestible, but each “law” lands with weight – whether it's about being present, valuing what matters, or learning to accept discomfort. I found myself highlighting passages and pausing to reflect on how I behave in daily life. It doesn’t just offer advice; it invites honest reflection and change. A Perfect Pocket-Sized guide I’ll return to again and again.

The book everyone should have

So I took each law and posted it on my 1821 productions platform for mental health and traumatic issues of people and definitely it sent a message now I’m actually intrigued by the other stuff after the 44 laws. I considered a nice little pocket Bible.

This is a super quick read and I finished in less than an hour. I wanted something to help me set my intentions for next year, and this was perfect in that regard. I love anything that encourages self-reflection and making wise, thoughtful decisions on how to navigate through life. This was exactly that.

I liked her 😌 quick and easy to get through, the content was really only 50ish pages so recommend for a quick motivational read!

Have lots of highlights bc i tried doing at least one for every law lol

[Trever Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Provides a great mindset shift with strong focus on self control. I thought it was a great read and I think anyone should read it. It can feel a little repetitive with some laws though which is okay. Highly recommend.

[Thiago Belem · Rating 4 out of 5]

gotta keep rereading it time to time

[Kio]

Love it .... Actually changes a man

[Nico Perez · Rating 3 out of 5]

The stuff said in this book is helpful, but it’s recycled. That’s the reality with most self-help books now.

[Alex Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very quick read, I would personally carry this book around in my bag and read certain laws as a quick reminder if I’m faced with a stressful moment

[Michael Meo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kinda basic. Many good points. A great book to keep in your pocket and refer back to it every couple of months.

[Chris Jack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing set of laws. And having to reflect on those laws and to apply them, makes you gain different perspective.

[May · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was okay, not really what I expected but it didn’t hurt to read.

[belley]

good but pretty basic stuff.

[Aman Dhawan · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s a self-reflection book that covers topic such as gratitude and effective communication. It is suitable for everyday read for a quick reference and/or daily reflection.

[Bre · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book. It’s a very quick read and it helps you reflect on your life. I love that it has a section at the end for you to journal as well.

[Miles De La Fuente · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some wise words in here that many people in this day and age should consider. I would recommend it for anyone trying to make sense of the world, or having trouble finding peace.

[Alexis Arian · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the journal entries to be a little bit of overkill at the end but I did every one and they were very healing. 10/10 recommend for perspective.

[A.J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book. Although I usually prefer simplicity, this one could have gone deeper.

[Scott Graf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this. Introduced me to the Stoic Philosophy!

[Cape Rust · Rating 4 out of 5]

This isn’t a long book and some of the content could be written off as common sense, sadly common sense isn’t so common. There is some good wisdom in this book rather most people can benefit from. Shared information is powerful, but only if you process and enact it.
