A bit random:
This book is ok but it seems like a collection of random experiences from the author. Didnt grasp it like an organized method.
Also it didnt really show me much things i didnt know.
It just reminds you of things you might have forgotten because you are stranded in your room.
So just get out, meet with friends, do whatever you like and live your life.
Choose to be Happy:

Her wisdom,experience and insights make this very worthwhile reading. Rima has lived through a lot and come through it all wiser and happier. A lesson we call can benefit from.
