Goodreads users who wrote one-star reviews for this cute little impulse-buy bestseller book seem like grumpsters. It’s a sweet little summary of concepts, inspirations, and motivations, cross-threaded with history & poetry of Japan, meditation, impermanence, stoicism, Tai chi, nutrition, and more. Kind of an awesome gift for mom — yours or someone else’s. Four stars, just for the haters! ✌
