My Thoughts on The Book
The book is in itself a bunch of stories to enlighten your life. It appears huge when you see the number of stories “100”, but let me tell you each chapter is two pages long and that too a short one. You will not even realize when the chapter ended and will crave for more.
I liked the way the author has maintained consistency in each chapter by starting and closing it with an impactful quote. The stories are meant to inspire readers to find their own happiness and to never give up on their dreams.
The stories are written in a crisp, clear and concise manner. Though short yet thought-provoking and heart-warming. This book is the result of the experiences of the author and of the people who were interviewed by him.
The stories work as practical advice on finding happiness in all walks of life including self-development, relationships, friendships, work and many more (you name it you will find it in this book).
I enjoyed reading this book a lot and I spent a lot of time in this book longer than any book I have read. I annotated this book with my versions of quotes taking inspiration from the quotes in starting and ending of the chapters.
I highly recommend this book to everyone struggling to overcome their challenges and feeling restless in their lives at any point of time. This book will eventually bring a smile to your face.
PS: You can see how closely I have read this book that I end up not just finding what I loved reading in it but also expressing how I felt about it.
