People going through a tough time

Loved it

Beautiful reminder of what life should be about. Where your focus is and what really matters.

Put together beautifully!

Arthur puts this together so amazingly... With science and stories, but most importantly STRUCTURE that helped me understand it the best. Probably the best book I've read on self help in the list 5 years

click bait

I'm angry that Oprah contributes 22 minutes to the 6 hours in this book yet is listed as the lead author. Even worse, her 22 minutes contributed nothing to the content and my enjoyment.
