A MUST FOR ANY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT LIBRARY!!!

As an author I'm always on the lookout for good books to stimulate the mind. I also want to buy books that keep the Godlike side of me guided in separating the issues of right & wrong, responsible vs. reckless, good vs. evil, kind vs. mean and the like.This book, along with the bonus CD, makes a wonderful addition to any personal development library. It is full of wisdom from the ages and also includes a lot of colorful cultural proverbs which I used often in writing my relationship book.Anyone who has a problem with this book is precisely the kind of person who needs it the most.Enlightened people will see the immense value in this book immediately.The CD also adds tremendous value to the purchase of this book.

A book that should be added to your reference aresenal!

This book is a must have for any writer or publisher. Shanahan's arrangement of content makes it a reference tool for any writer that needs quick antecdotes from brilliance to witty. It resides on my book shelf between ROGETS Thesaurus and Webster's Dictionary.

Wisdom of the Ages

This is not only an excellent book, but an excellent tool as well. It will arm you with two line pieces of wisdom for your own use or to share with others. I've used some of the quotes in business meetings, out with friends, etc. Everyone should have this one.

For the man who has everything!

This is an excellent book for those men who have everything. If you aren't sure if they read or not, this is perfect. It is a great gift for someone you know really well, or for someone you hardly know at all.

fabulous fun

This is the book you can pick up for a minute or for hours and enjoy over and over again. The quotes are not only witty and fun, they are truly that perfect collection of one liners that say it all. The C.D. is great especially if you are driving and tired of the same old radio play. A gift you'll wish someone would give you!
