This book is so true you will find yourself at a peaceful silience, if you are not laughing out loud! Too bad it is not a true story. I can't believe someone can come up with such real accounts of human behavior without having experianced it firsthand! I am assuming some of it was lived. The psycology of thought and life's reaction to attitudes is thrown at you with amazing precision. I am enjoying the read and am in no way insulted by his use of language as it is as real as real life can be. Thank you whomever truly wrote this book! I am greatful for your insight and will pass this book along.

I read this book once years ago and couldnot put it down. I found it in a an old box of books the other day and re-read it, and again could not put it down. This is truly the most fun book I have ever read. It's a great theory, and even better when you live it through the characters in the book. This is one book I would recomend to anybody looking to lighten up!
A lot of fun about nothing

This book should be enjoyed for what it is; the secret of life. Now that I have let the cat out of the bag everyone will be rushing to buy this out-of-print gem. But, no need to worry, it can be found in many fine used bookstores. It is a fun read, along with some profound insights hidden amonst the clarinet playing. And yes, YES works.
Incredibly exquisite, superb and great, nothing but optimism

This book is for every single person, as said in the book, Rev. Wing speaks every ones language. his outlook on life through the eyes of Yes, are incredible, the most remarkable book I have ever read, saying Yes to things helped me so much, it also helped the thirty people I bought the book for. This book is far from only applying yes to everything, but also entertaining and fun, from clarinets, to zucchini and cantaloupe, to a gay bar and self-cleaning ash trays. Phenomenal book.
Sublime

One of the few books, I've had the pleasure to read twice; thesecond time, I read the two hundred some-odd pages aloud in theirentirety to my girlfriend. Changed the way I think about everyday life without my realizing it. Master Fing delves into the practical definition of the simple word, the "eternally slippery" word, Yes. As with the Yin having a complimentary Yang, Yes also has an opposing, but neccesary, antagonist: Fuck. The etymology of the word Fuck reveals an unavoidable "downside" to the grand scheme, which, in turn is balanced out by the eternally slippery holy word Yes. In particular, some memorable chapters include: Say Yes To Higher Education; Say Yes To Your Children; Say Yes To Vegetables; and of course, Fuck, a Family Tree. (or something like that).
