After the 60s, the movement for a better world faded into the 70s, and dissappeared entirely in the 80s. At least in the USA. God and his disciples were still alive and well in Jamaica. Instead of fishermen, they were musicians. When you listen deeply, you'll hear the message clearly. Bob Marley carried the truth for our times. That torch still burns in his music and the writing that came afterward. Read 56 Thoughts. It will touch you, move you, and enlighten you. 56 Thoughts is a book you will never put down. It will go with you every where because it is pure soul from a philosopher who knew what he was talking about.

To anyone that has connected with the spirit of the music of Bob Marley, this collection of thoughts and sayings will remind you of the power of his message and uplift your spirit. Turn to any page and you will find wisdom within. Bravo!

Personally, I enjoyed this booklet. It contains some very thought-provoking quotes from the don gargon, Bob Marley. What a way to capture these thoughts, Cedella and Gerald! Nice work entirely.

You know, you may want to include the size of the book next time. I thought it was a regular trade paperback book but it's a novelty item size one buys on "impulse" at the check out lines. Very small. But I still loved the sayings inside of it.

I ordered this "book" with expectations that it would be Bob Marley's actual thoughts on topics like he sings about (such as the title suggests). Since it was written by his daughter I thought it would be more personal also. When I got it first off I was amazed by the size of it--it's about an inch bigger than the size of a cell phone. Then I started flipping through it, and I was like "hey these are just quotes". Seriously there's nothing written on any of the pages except for one quote a page. Since I like reading quotes and will always write down a good quote when I see it, I read through all 56 "thoughts". The ones that are worth your time writing down (which are only like 5 in the whole pamphlet), you can find on the internet and I've read them all before I even bought the "book". So I basically spent $6 on a "book" of a few quotes that I had already written down before I bought the "book".

I bought one for my husband in Prison and one for myself. Unfortunately both books went to the Prison. I'm happy he received his book but I also could use some inspiration.
He however has enjoyed the small but powerful messages from Bob Marley.

This is a an approximately 2" X 3 " book with two or three line lyrics from Bob Marley Songs. If you need a reminder of his lyrics or need the lyrics highlighted so you can contemplate them without the rest of the song, then this is the book for you. I on the other hand remember most of these lyrics and expected more from this book.

This book by Cedella Marley sets the record straight in one-line and short off-the-cuff wisps of light and dark, humorous and serious wisdom that Bob Marley was famous for. I read it once a day, twice a day, three times a day, as Doctor Jamaica recommends.

I love Bob Marley however this book wasn't what I expected, will return item. I didn't know the book was so small
