As we go through life, do you want to be a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? When put in boiling water, a carrot goes soft, an egg goes hard, while a coffee bean turns the water into a nice cup of coffee. In aspiring to be a coffee bean in life, this book goes through 111 ways one can follow to be a positive force in whatever environment.
This is an extremely short 256-page book, with half of the book a short description of each way, with accompanying graphic covering the other half. Each way represents an inspirational quote (“Be a Thermostat, Not a Thermometer”; “Turn Challenges into Opportunities”) that taken together should make you into a formidable bundle of positivity and impact. Are these lessons we have heard before elsewhere? Yes, but it’s still a nice reminder of what we all should aspire to be and a nice to book to flip through for qualities we want to follow.
Good for: Those looking for nice collection of inspirational quotes.
