Review: The book of positive quotations

If you love quotations, and if you think you'd like to read positive quotations, this book is one of the best out there.

But it's a thinker's book, as much as a feel-good book.

You have to read this book slowly and in little word bytes. Don't think you can sprint through it. I can only digest a few pages at a time, and even that is difficult. Many of the quotations are new to me.

I want to speed my way through, just to read all the quotes, so periodically I let the book fall open in order to read a random quote. The pressure, the pressure!

To give you some idea, out of 755 pages, the index alone has 50 pages. These are the authors of the quotes; only a few direct you to the idea in a quote.

There are 38 pages that deal with different aspects of happiness. I'm on page 23. It's interesting to read so many quotes about happiness at one time, because you can see similarities and trends.

Here's one I liked:

Make someone happy each day and in forty years you will have made 14,600 human beings happy for a little time, at least. Charley Willey

It's quite amazing to think of how the little things add up. And that is one of the things pointed out in the happiness quotes -- that it is the little things that bring and determine happiness.

Available for Kindle?
Unfortunately no, but I requested it. It might be nice to have the Kindle search a word, but then again if you searched for happiness (pun intended) you would pull up the entire chapter dealing with happiness.

Have you read this book?
