Description
Self-help, with a twist
The Secret to Everything has been known to mystics and scholars for centuries and millennia, and, today, is increasingly being confirmed by both philosophy and science. Socrates certainly knew it, as did the Buddha, and more recently, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Emily Dickinson. It is a secret not because it is hidden as such, but because it is so difficult to see, running counter to so many of our most basic assumptions.
Each of the book’s ten chapters exposes a particular aspect and practical application of the secret, while also keeping it carefully under wraps. On the surface, the chapters may seem to have little in common, but they are all built around the same wisdom. Your challenge, as you read, is to find the common thread that runs through all the chapters. The secret is discussed at the end, but don’t peek or you’ll spoil the fun.

Paul V, Reviewer
This is quite well done. It's probably a good book for people these days because the chapters are short and include suggestions for achieving not everything, but lots of stuff. Not every idea will work or resonate with everyone, but readers are bound to find some helpful tidbits, and it's succinctness it part of it's value. It's nice that the book is not too "heavy" while still providing guidance. I suspect some readers will find it too pithy (not enough meat), so if you're seeking a deep dive into the topics covered, either use this as a jumping off point or get a different book. Recommended.
Thanks very much for the review copy!!
