A great book if you want to add a new book to your read count. You can read it in less than 10 minutes. Yes, it's that short. Just 100 pages with one quote each.
Absolute waste in other terms. If you are looking for motivation, there isn't much. You might come across a quote to give you some instant motivation, but I don't think that's how motivation works.
Quotes are okay. But the book content is so damn plain. And I want to read more amazing quotes rather than the ones we all are familiar with for years now.
Underwhelming book, most of these quotes can be found while reading other books, that actually have substance to them. This feels like a joke book that only has the punchlines.
Honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought because of other reviews.There were some quotes that I really liked some that I didn’t.Overall won’t hurt to read it real quick,there might be some things you would like-2,5⭐️
100 quotes ? The last one is blank, so 99 quotes. Some of these quotes are amazing, others not so much. Not life-changing in and of itself, but if you apply some of these quotes to daily life on a daily basis, that could definitely change your life.
There are some badass quotes and a few popularized by instagram. I don't know whether this will change one's life ( based on my experience with self help books, I'll bet on no). But..Yeah it's okay.
100 quotes! The book lives up to its name. It is an okay read, but ultimately lacks content to garner anything above 2 stars! I definitely enjoyed some of the quotes, but this book truly felt like they picked out random quotes and dumped them on the page.
Afew quotes resonated with me, did it change my life? Not yet! but it takes actions yeah?

very simple & short, great read if you do not want to read much, but also want to feel some sort of inspiration
i definitely feel like some of the quotes resonated with me & i do have a few favourites which i'll list below but it is important to note that your life won't change reading this unless the quotes have inspired you & you take action. at the end of the day your life won't change unless you change or act on it.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Not sure I can give a rating to a book of quotes that I was able to complete in 10 minutes. In fact, it has taken me longer to write this review than read the book. I am sure that for each quote, someone, somewhere, has found a benefit.
Here are my favorites:
Page 31 “If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If not you’ll find an excuse.”-Jen Sincero
Page 42 “In life, the only two things you can control are your effort and your attitude. Everything else is not up to you.”-S. Mcnutt
Page 61 “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”-Abraham Lincoln
Page 80 “Learn from the mistakes of others... you can’t live long enough to make them all yourselves.”-Chanakya
Page 88 “Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.”-Roy T. Bennett
A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are built for. We suffer more in imagination than in reality. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by seeds that you plant. The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. A man is great not because he hasn't failed; a man is great because failure hasn't stopped him. If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come. Don't chase, attract. We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by ones you did do.
☆ Better to jump and make a mistake than sit there too frightened to make a move. ☆ Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ☆ He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how. ☆ Learn from the mistakes of others… You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. ☆ One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world. Budda
Some of the quotes were a little cliche, and you've probably heard them before. However, there were a number of quotes that got me thinking and thinking about taking action. I felt a gentle nudge to take my life seriously and be drawn to action as I read some of the quotes One of my favorites is by Nevil Ravinant - "A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought—they must be earned."
Yes, this is a good collection of quotes but most of them are ones we’ve heard from all over the internet. They are popular well-known quotes and some even have repeating themes that make the quotes sound almost identical. It would’ve been helpful to have more information on the quotes or the people who said them to give context to the meaning of the quote.
The book was OK. Not that great to be honest. Just a compilation of 100 quotes some of which I already knew, some were actually great and highlight worthy. I used to read some of these quotes back in school during morning assembly as "thought for the day". Finished the book in just 20 minutes! The author could have added the explanation or their point of view to make it more interesting to read.
These quotes are insightful. They are perfect for seeing the world differently. As a teacher, I would start a class with at least three of them. They are good for meditation and reflection. Also, they promote fearlessness, patience, and optimism. The only problem that I have with this book is that it is too short. I wish that it had more quotes. Nevertheless, it is still a great book.
