It's made of fairly contemporary sayings that at least are "understandable".

Since I've been in the health care business - sometimes the only way to relate to patients - are words of wisdom. If I could know all the sayings in this book by hart - it would excel almost any education that a person could get (to a point). It's made of fairly contemporary sayings that at least are "understandable". Meaning not like those old books of quotes from way back when - when they sounded like Shakespeare (if you know the books that I'm talking about). Also for when it comes to family and friends - its always there to give you some words of inspiration and encouragement (and tell me who can't use that).
