My boss had originally loaned me this book. It has 2-3 pages of short and interesting stories that leave you with a good, optimistic feeling. I accidentally spilled a drink on the book and bought a new copy for my boss to replace his copy. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to start their morning out positive. Read a short-story before you go into work each day. Gives you a good and uplifting perspective on life. Great price for a great little book!

Something to Smile About is heart warming and easy to read. Zig Ziglar is a master story teller, and this delightful collection of short stories is great for bedtimes regardless of one's age. I've enjoyed every work that Zig has done, and he's had a significant, positive impact on my family for 3 generations. Buy this book and your life will be enriched, and then buy another another Ziglar book, and then another...you'll be glad you did!
