Five Wishes: How Answering One Simple Question Can Make Your Dreams Come True

My christmas stocking included these 160 pages of inspiration. With the justification that it was only a small book, I even started it whilst halfway through another read (something I try to avoid.) By the end of page 15 I already felt like this book was handcrafted for my eyes, it's message sent to remind me of something overlooked. Page 101 brought quiet sobs of realisation, and an hour after I had settled down to the first page, I was clicking through the website and scribbling away at my 5 wishes.

Denied the option of stalling on the answer because "The biggesr the question, the more important it is to answer it right now", the author leads us through the tale of his inescapable answers.

At times I found myself rolling out the "That's all very well, but Life doesn't always play along!" ...such a retaliation from the cynical-self is the exact hurdle The Question is set to flatten.

The Te of Piglet the half-read book set back in this ones shadow, which had aptly left echos in my mind... "It is hard to be brave, when you're only a Very Small Animal" ...it is. But something about this very simple Question, and defining your own 5 wishes, makes it all seem somewhat more achievable. (read less)
