A Little Birdie Told Me....

Yep. Like most I get the reading recommendations from all places. In the end, I kind of make up my own mind though. But this one, sent by a little birdie, wow. Freakin' book saved me from going bananas when I was trapped in a hotel for three days because of the snow that ate New Jersey last week. In all seriousness, this is the sort of book that will save your life and renew your focus on the things that matter. Blew me right the hell away and gone. Don't think I took a breath for the last forty pages. Read it.
