review 1: 2-2.5 stars. It had a good message and I loved the premise of a philosophical café, but the writing style was a little hackneyed and overly simple in an annoying manner (such as the obvious food metaphor, and the 'how does she know what I'm thinking' trope that's poorly done). However, I did appreciate the golf anecdote. Also, I was familiar with the fisherman's tale, although I prefer Jutta Bauer's little book called 'Selma' about a sheep who has found contentment.I'm not currently in a place in my life where I needed this book, but maybe it will be a better fit for others.
review 2: My Amazon review: It is hard to ignore how insulting this book is.It takes advantage of a political climate that thinks we must be told what our morals are going to be.It says no... morething anyone with a moral compass and a brain hasn't figured out for themselves.The idea that someone would find this book enlightening is more frightening than the thought that someone would find The Five People You Meet in Heaven refreshingly insightful.The writing is below sub-par.Here is all you need to prove what a waste of time this book is: You know those unbearable (and laughable) re-training films most corporate offices require folks to watch every few years that go over "moral dilemmas" and have titles like "Harassment in the Workplace: It's No Laughing Matter" or "Bribes: The Buck Stops Here," etc.? This book is like reading a screenplay for one of those. The one that was made in 1950 and had to be produced for under $100 and use all the CEO's family members as actors. It is not even good enough to be as bad as those old 1970's after-school specials.Trust me on this one - your "purpose for existing" does NOT include reading this book (although interestingly enough, mine does...). less
