Minus the faith based BS (I don't believe in the Christian God or any other secular version of one either) that having been said, I do believe this is one of the best collections of no nonsense, straight forward inspirational truisms that I've ever read. There are so many similar collections or rather many other books with similar formats "Inspirational Quotations" and although this book is exactly that, it certainly assisted me with gaining some valuable perspective.....like they say "the truth hurts" but a good dose of truth is sometimes just what we all need.
Short and sweet and right to the point. I wouldn't call it a self help book but rather a shot in the arm that is beneficially eye-opening
