Chicken Soup for the Soul In ancient times, inspiring and heartwarming stories were rare and traveled slowly. You’d hear them from reliable sources (or at least you believed they were reliable). You’d find them in books, and your heart would fill with optimistic energy; you’d regain some faith that the world wasn’t completely doomed. Honestly,…
Do you know what common thread runs through names like Norman Vincent Peale, Tony Robbins, or the now-cult documentary/book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, as well as dozens of other successful individuals in the world of business, motivation, and whatnot? They all share one thing in common: a small, blue booklet that you’ve probably…
I have always believed that “stories are meant to put small children to sleep and “wake up” the adults”. As children, we enjoy these tales (fairy tales, fables, anecdotes…), that is, their mystical/fantasy/fantastic element. As we grow older, we realize that many of these stories carry significant and meaningful life lessons. And later, when…
One of the most-read texts on this blog (in fact, this text is still the champion in terms of the number of visits) is the review of Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”. This book ended up on my shelf known as the “Shelf with books that must be…

Of course, encountering each person in our lives shapes and defines us in some way, there’s…
From the moment I picked up this book (“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”), I became cautious. I’m particularly wary of books dealing with motivation, personal change, popular psychology, spiritual transformation… There was something strange about this book. Highly praised, sold in millions of copies, yet criticized by many for the author’s…
Some books you seek out, and some books find you… especially those with hard covers and sharp edges… and it’s precisely that edge that drops onto your foot. With a grumble (okay, a rather colorful swear word) I picked up the little book. “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A book I had…
To be upfront, I had heard that Takashi Hiraide is a renowned poet in Japan, but I never had the chance to read his poetry. That’s why it surprised me even more that a man, who has devoted his life to writing poetry, would suddenly pen a novel that unexpectedly becomes a bestseller. Is…
