I borrowed this book from my local library and it took me two weeks to finish it. Actually I could finish reading quite early but it is too harsh to complete such a wonderful book full of intelligence in a short time. I read three to five articles every bedtime sometimes I even doubt it is written or presented by God to answer my question just at the perfect time.
I love it and I will keep it with me closely, especially when I cannot keep hungry and foolish.

A beautifully presented collection of simple ideas and thoughts to spark positive change – 5 StarsReviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2020
I’m so glad I purchased this book; dipping in to its pages is a feast for the eyes and a breath of fresh air for the mind. Hardback, and an ideal size to drop into a bag or backpack, I read this as much while I’m out in the open as when I’m indoors. Drawing on principles from Feng Shui, Japanese horticulture, mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy, this volume contains one hundred suggestions of ways in which we can enrich our lives.
Illustrated throughout, the artwork is as gentle in its design as are the words on each page. The ideas expressed within present small changes that require very little (if any) material input, instead they encourage a shift in perception and habits. Paying attention to small details in our environment, and even to mundane tasks, requires a focus that naturally reduces the ‘busyness’ of the mind. The outcome, as the author explains, is both kinder to ourselves and to those we encounter.
For anyone looking for an introduction to Zen values, wanting help dealing with stress, or simply trying to find the essence of what makes them happy, then this book is a great place to start. Whilst the concepts are presented with a child-like simplicity, mastering the mind-set it advocates takes practise and dedication. However, adopting just a few of the ideas suggested quickly brings positive results and an improved sense of well-being that makes practising a pleasure.
