I appreciate how the author draws from his family history and philosophical reflections to convey the importance of showing care and compassion not only to humans but to all beings with feelings. It's a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness.

Sounds like an awesome book that I would definitely enjoy. I love how the author focuses on things that really matter like empathy, happiness, God and not temporal things like amassing wealth that we leave behind when we leave earth.

I love the title of the book. It has a message on its own. There's a tendency for human being especially the millennials and Gen Zs to go off target, setting our heart and passions to things that do not really matter on the long run. From the review, one can see that the author is thoroughgoing and so this book would certainly be rich enough to enlighten anyone.

I’m looking forward to digging into today novel to find out what Grumbell has to say about things that should really matter in this world and what is not. I like the topic of empathy and this one seems to be right up my alley.
