review 1: This is a little book full of inspiring quotes. I took my time with this one, savoring each page. I found one of my new favorites in here : "People believe themselves to be dependent on what happens for their happiness. They don't realize that what happens is the most unstable thing in the universe." -Eckhart Tolle (So very true.)And one more:"Don't get hung up on the size. If you feel bad about yourself because a 12 is what fits, take a sharpie, and write '6' on the label." -Stacey London (Cute philosophy, huh?)
