“Making mistakes is Okay”.
This in itself can make a whole book. I found this the very hard way. I know there are mistakes that when done there is no redemption from them. However, these are the ones that the society learns or heals because of them. Good review.

I don't read self-help literature, so I won't be reading this book, but I am sure it will be useful to people who needs it.

This sounds to be a good collection of short stories. I the fact that the stories are categorized and that they have an inspirational purpose.

I found this review to be wordy and caused my mind to wander. Based on this review I don’t know that I would find this book intriguing or not.

This book is an seems like a very good self-help book. I've downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited. I'll check it out soon, although this is not in my area of interest for now. Thanks for the review.

The first thing that has attracted me to this book is that the author chose writing beautiful stories to gift the daughter and be remembered with. we take for granted most things we do daily but we should really appreciate every single aspect of life. Thanks for the great review.

I always worry about the non-fiction genre being too “dry” for me. I really appreciate you mentioning how the author’s personality shines through in this book. That makes a big difference! Great review and congratulations to the author for Book of the Day!

We could all use some positivity and encouragement to uplift us. This wonderful book does just that. Paul E. Kotz wanted to leave something for his daughters to read but he did much more than that. Great read for imparting optimism.

A self-help book that aims at getting the reader to appreciate and live in the present and to listen to those who have wisdom to give us and the younger generations as well. Self-help books aren't a genre that I enjoy/read so I'm on the fence about this book just based on that, but I do applaud the author for taking the time to write a book that can be inspirational, encouraging and one that reminds us all to take a moment and enjoy the simple things in this world and while we can.

This book will make your day or learn from experience with a combination of multiple short stories divided into nine sections: Everyday Gifts,
Everyday Life, Growing up, Kindness, Society Today, Mentoring, Unexpected Surprises, Advice and Perspectives.


"Something Happened Today" by Paul E. Kotz was written especially for his daughters to explain his definition of happiness as well as to uplift the readers. Also, to be reminded that not everyone we meet is all cold and nasty. We still have kind-hearted people who will reach out to you from the heart with no ulterior motive. Most of all, everyone was blessed in some way or the other with the ability to communicate which is a work in progress.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of today's BOTD! I have my copy, and I'm looking forward to reading each story gradually, as it sounds like a book you keep at your bedside and never really put away. It's there when you need a story of encouragement or are looking for some positive words from an old friend. Thank you, again! :-)

This seems to be quite the interesting read! Thank you for your thoughts. I am looking forward to finishing this as I love a book that is positive with out sounding forced or cheesy. I think that this is a well suited book for today. It's a great way to show how gratitude even for the simple things can bring great joy.
