Meditations for Men Who Do Too Much

I read each individual dated page of this book every morning. I've already been through 2 books before ordering my newest copy...

I have had 4 copies of this book and have passed all of them on to other friends whose lives are out of control or appear to be(probably the same thing). We(men) all resemble the statements in this book. Not all of the statements but enough that we all could get some insight and serenity from reading this book on a daily basis. It does not get old or repetitious and I continually find new insights. I would recommend this book as a must for any type "A" personality and necessary for anyone else.

I've owned this book for maybe 4 years and have used it on and off--open to any date, and there's always some interesting quotation and thoughtful commentary. A great book!

This book is an excellent collection of quotations on life. Unfortunately, it is totally spoilt by the collector's (Jonathon Lazear) commentary. Makes you feel you were back in school, and the teacher was pontificating on mysteries of Shakespeare. The format of the book is good - one thought per day. The thought is given on top, in small type. This is followed by the collector's explanations on the same page. The third and the last portion on each page is a politically correct resolution based on the first two. Unfortunately, Mr. Lazear, a literary agent by profession, intrudes endlessly on our thoughts and meditations. Page after page. All 366 of them (a leap year). He has excellent taste in collecting quotations. One wishes he had had the good sense to stop at that. If you do want to buy (or have already bought it), consider ignoring the commentary. This will allow you to meditate on the thoughts contained in the book, instead of reading some one else's interpretation.
