Something Happened Today" by Paul E. Kotz.]
A very insightful story by the author .. Knowing fully well that his growing daughter needed something to learn on as a guide line to shape up her own life
the author did a great work by bringing fiction and philosophy together.. Thanks

From an interesting book about the author's personal experiences in home, life, work and financial life among other areas. Well done.

I am interested in this book of short stories that can demonstrate the good in the world. Life is often challenging and little nuggets of positivity can help anyone.

Between the author sample and the official review, I am looking forward to reading this book. Every day something depressing will happen in this world and it is nice to have a book that focuses on the positive. I would say this book is needed reading for all.

I was looking forward to reading a bit and seeing the author's style, because it looked like the kind of book I would really enjoy.
I agree completely! What a letdown! It sounded, from the official review, like the author's humor and vivacity shone through throughout the book, and I was really looking forward to seeing some of it.

Books like this should be continually supported because of the message they want the readers to get. This books seems very inspiring and one thing the author wants for the readers to get is all positivity in life.

I love that these short stories are focused around mostly little moments that stand out in the author's life and not just some fantasy setting or some broad and untouchable once in a lifetime things, but simple things like sunshine and a morning drive

A self-help book that takes a look at the matetials on happiness sounds inspiring. The cover is attractive and the content is all about positive thinking.

It definitely sounds well written. I believe there will be a lot of good ideas in here for any person to get something from it. I love positive things, and this sounds like it will encourage who ever decides to read it. Congratulations on BOTD.

A fast-paced novel that has a moral background like this one sounds intriguing to me . However, I'm not a fan of short stories novel, so I don't think that I will give it a try. Great review!

I find myself wanting to read this book. It's always nice to learn from others mistakes, and I like the idea that he wrote it for his daughters so they can keep their chin up. I think this was an excellent review. Thank you.
