a cure against the rat race ??

In particular interesting book for people who work 60h+ per week and have no fun. Or people feeling in a mid life crysis. A gem of a book. Some highlights; o our obsession with dieting (enjoy food, dress well...feel well) o the mad race about being number one (yes, there are alternatives) o review on your deadbed (can be a wake up call for some) Well written and always with 'littel slap on the head' remarks like; if i want...

One of the best books I've read

When I first got this book I had a minor interest in it, I thought it would just be an amusing read, but I loved it. I've always been ambitious and very goal-orientated but after reading this book I now have a different (better) perspective on things and it's helped me to relax.

I picked up the book because I felt something was wrong with the way I was living my life. And it was just the right book for that situation: it examines the...

But this book!

Every once and awhile a charming little book comes along that leaves you refreshed, and maybe a bit giddy. This is such a book, it is one of the best and least expensive vacations I have ever taken. At the end you want to take the author out for a great time just to say thanks. I owe him two because of his last book as well. Many of my friends will be getting copies this holiday season.
