The ancient advice for a modern world.

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as a recommendation from a friend. Overall, this book is quite short, only 5 chapters. The book gives really good advice , although a bit dated on some parts. For example, the book talks about using motivational casettes. Most people born in the 60's through late 90s know what casettes are. In any event, the information and advice this book gives is still accurate and worthwhile today as it was the first day this book came out. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for clear advice on being happy with illustrative and imaginative stores and anadoctes that get the point across.

Amazing practical book that truly changed my life.

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

I was at a point in my life where I felt attacked, vunerable and confused. I just couldn't figure out why all of this stuff was happening to me (death of loved one, law suits and money problems). I found myself having forms of anxiety and the need to retreat from life. We were at an airport and quite by accident, my kids asked if we could go into the store and get a postcard. I saw this book and thumbed through it. It was written as if the author was talking to you and he included many cartoons. I bought it and put it in the outside pocket of my carry-on. As I was boarding the plane the flight attendant saw the book and told me that this book had changed his life. As I started to read, the book started to answer so many of my questions as to why things were happening to me. I started to use some of his techniques and sure enough, my life turned around very, very quickly. It is 2009 now and I read this book in 2003....my life is still on track and I have nothing to complain about. He has a book for teenagers, one about making freinds and another book similar to this one. I have bought this book as gifts for other people and it has changed their lives too. Greatest book ever. (I used the same review for the other book).

Read this book to make your life (and the world) a better place

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was nervous about this book -- because the cartoon illustrations (on cover and inside) were so juvenile, how could the info be good. But I trusted the recommendation and I'm glad I did. I've read it twice now, and recommended it (with about caveat) to dozens of people. Not because they're sad (or that I was), just that it's a GREAT info about increasing and controlling your general outlook on life and being joyful. Read it, read it, read it, and the world will be a better place.

One of my all-time favorite books!

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2004

Verified Purchase

I love this book! It is cheerful and has a great message. The advice the author shares is common-sense advice that we all know we should be following, but often we get off-track and too negative. Each chapter is short and to-the-point, with lots of cartoon illustrations. I have underlined almost the entire book, because each page offers more great advice. For instance, the first page I flipped to says this: "A person embarking on a day's march would be foolish to carry enough provisions for a lifetime. Is it not strange, then, that many people carry around all their worries for the next 20 years and wonder why life is so difficult?" The author has several other books out there, but this is his best.

One of my favorite books of all time!

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

Love love love this book. I've purchased so many copies over the years but I always end up giving them to friends. This book will change the way you think - for the better!

Now that my kids are getting old enough to understand the concepts on this book we're reading it together, as a family.

After you read this book, you'll wish you had understood all this stuff since you were young.

Clever book to teach profound wisdom

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

It is a primer for everyone. The information and cartoons are fun to read. It is full of valuable wisdom for those looking for answers. It is written in an amusing style that would appeal to all ages. If you are looking for a book gift to a teen ager, I especially recommend it. They will learn important principles of life as they read the comical presentation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Andrew Matthews has an innate wisdom when it comes to understanding human nature. At least it rings true to my ears, but that could just be my opinion. He claims that some people act nasty because of low self esteem, it could just be that some people are plain nasty but the way he writes shows that he is a very good person psychologically because he believes there is a reason for everything. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his line of reasoning, written in simple English.

Brilliant book!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

This has got to be the best book I have ever read!!! I felt so good after reading this and I have even told my eldest sons to read it. I have made some small changes in my life since reading this and if I ever have a rough day I just pick it up and dip into it and write a few notes. I love the fact this book makes you look at yourself and changes your mind set to deal with issues differently.

Brilliant!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

My mum bought me this book years ago when I was having a rough time and I was really embarrassed! However, I read it and there is so much in it that makes so much sense, simplifies so many things.
I have since bought it for several people when they are having a tough time and they have all said how good it is.
A book which should be read by everyone as it puts so much in perspective, so simply. If you are having counselling then try this either instead or as well. I bet your counsellor wont come out with half the things in here.
It is really easy reading and so simple. Not deep and heavy going like lots of books.
I would recommend it to anyone.

I had this book many years ago and constantly dipped into it for some self esteem. I stupidly sold it when I thought I could continue without it, but this year was turbulent for me so repurchased it. Instantly this book came into great use and I feel 80% like my old self again. This has some healthy reminders of how to reset your mind to make better decisions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Easy to read, easy to apply to life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Brilliant. This is the 4th copy I have bought for a friend after reading it myself at a low point in my life and finding it really helpful. Unlike many other self-help books, I find it a really easy read and was able to read from start to finish without missing out chunks that I couldn't be bothered with. Would definitely recommend to anyone going through a difficult time and needs reminding why life's worth living and how to go about doing just that. Thank you Andrew Matthews.
