    Light read with lots of take-aways! Love the small stories incorporated to make the lessons very catchy! Really gave me hints of The Alchemist style writing. Definitely took some time with this book reflecting in between. The missing one star is for moments I felt there was some repetition.
  • Great read to inspire creative living!
