Happiness and Other Small Things of Absolute Importance by Haim Shapira
3.0
I don't think this was the book I intended to read, but it turned out to be a nice, thought provoking book with some good discussion starters. Like how we should more often realize events that are miraculous but, since they happen so often we're immune; like a starry sky. Imagine if you only saw stars once every decade, it would be an extremely powerful event. We shouldn't forget it's power even on a daily basis. Or how our first love is the only time we truly believe it will be the only love. He quotes a lot of famous philosophers, authors, and religious leaders, so as to combine wisdom from over time. Overall it was a decent book, but it wasn't utterly life changing or keeping me wanting more.
My biggest takeaway was that I sincerely missed out not reading The Little Prince as a child. It's now on my list.
