This book looks like a good read. Staying positive in this day and time isn't easy to do. His stories sound uplifting, and intriguing. I would definitely read this book.

Thank you for the review. I remember coming across this book on a previous BOTD. These short story books focusing on life lessons do not sound like something appropriate for someone like me, who reads gripping fiction novels or books that either revolve around powerful life stories or historical events.

Your review here is very beneficial, particularly given that without Kindle Unlimited, the preview never gets to the book itself, just blurbs and Table of Contents. The author as you describe him appears to be a humble, wise and lively teacher of life. I would greatly enjoy the gold nuggets he presents in his book.

While I think many will find this book interesting and inspiring, I do not enjoy reading this genre. It sounds like the author put a lot of effort into the book, and it will leave a lasting legacy for his children.

The title of this book make m want to know what's hidden secrets lies therein. And when the reviewer said and I quote
"the philosophical insights are realistic, persuasive, unwavering, and refreshing", this didn for me. I'm also trusting the judgement of the reviewer in giving it 4 out of 4 stars

While I am not a big reader of short stories, I can appreciate the inspiration behind such a collection. It sounds as if the author is in his own way "paying it forward" as thanks to the people who have set him back on the right path when he was lost, by passing on this stories in this book. It is also sweet that he wrote these for his children to read. Never take any day for granted, and share words of love and happiness when you can!
