A truely amazing book which carries the most profound wisdom and adresses it with simple logic that we can reinact into our everyday lives. Another great characteristic that the book offers is the characters which it beholds,(as usually spiritually orientated books revolve around facts and bore me to death). This is definately suited to all ages and a great read to those who can embrace its knowledge without being cynical.
