It was hard to put the book down once I started. Simply but elegantly, the stories in the book convey the enduring importance of values in motivating people to be their best selves. The book also powerfully shows the ripple effect of key values such as kindness and compassion, passed from generation to generation but also creating a positive chain reaction in society. The stories were all the more compelling for me because I know that the editor Manjulika Koshal and her husband Rajinder Koshal themselves embody many of the values included here. If you're looking for inspiration, this is the book for you.
