Glad to hear that the philosophical insights are realistic and refreshing. Also sort of unique that the author wanted to leave behind an inspiring book for his daughters. Great review.

I like the realistic and inspirational stories from Kotz. He's used a refreshing and down to earth approach in broaching the different scenarios we may meet in real life.

Thank you for well-done review. When I downloaded the sample we were not able to actually sample his inspirational readings, so your review gave me a nice window into Kotz's "insightful look at the ingredients of happiness." And I found "Kotz’s desire to leave something inspiring for his daughters to read" very sweet and endearing. Certainly, sounds like a good book to be used as a reminder for me "to look for a miracle every day."

I think this will make for a very impactful read. I love the concept of this book and believe all the stories have the same recurring theme being reinforced. Kudos to the author and congrats on #BOTD

A collection of eight stories drawn from the author's personal experience sounds interesting. It's more intriguing that the book is a product of the author's desire to leave something inspiring for his daughters to read.
