Tuchy's Law And Other Contrarian Quotes To Help You In Life's Journey is a collection of quotes/ sayings to provide advice and guidance/ hope and direction for those of us that are trying to live and improve our lives and the lives of those around us. I found the quotes/ comments to be enlightening and encouraging. With over a thousand quotes to choose from there is something for everyone. You can open it at random and find inspiration.

I plan to pick out some of my favorite sayings and use them as screen savers for my computer. By having them scroll across my screen I can use them to inspire and encourage me to improve myself. I feel that the book can be used to provide quick pick-me-ups for people and to provide thoughts to ponder and words of advice. I can see that this collection will be useful and inspiring to all people that are coping with life's trials and tribulations.

This is another good example of Tuchy Palmieri working produce good literature designed to help others.

This review is from: Tuchy's Law And Other Contrarian Quotes To Help You In Life's Journey (Paperback)

Tuchy Palmieri has gathered a treasure trove of quotes and produced several excellent books of quotes on various topics. This book "Tuchy's Law And Other Contrarian Quotes To Help You In Life's Journey" is my personal favorite because it touches so many different aspects of life and the problems we all have to deal with.

Some of these quotes are by famous people - Love--a fruit that is always in season. -Mother Theresa
Some are attributed to people I have never heard of - Stupidity has no limit. Vladimir Slep
Some come from Tuchy and his family - It is easier to give the medicine than to take it. -Uncle Bidz/Tommy Palmer
But, most are anonymous - May the words I have to say today be sweet enough in case I have to eat them tomorrow.

Regardless of where the quotes come from they can be very inspirational. I enjoy opening the book at random and reading them. Usually after reviewing three or four I will find one that applies to something going on in my life. This book provides a plethora of things to think about and enrich our minds.
