    This review was written for The Little Red Book of Wisdom.
    "Wisdom is a journey not a destination"

    This 148-page book is all about the little things in life that we tend to overlook, the bits and pieces of wisdom we seldom recognize because we're too concerned of the now, faster and more world. Throughout the book, the author imparts his life lessons and that of his families and friends and even a few famous personalities. It provokes a spiritual reflection by referencing to selected Biblical passages and yet friendly enough not to sound too spiritual in his approach. The division of the book (professional and personal) is typical for the subject matter. The following lines found in the early parts of the book summarize its call for action:

    "Wisdom does not favor intelligence or education, affluence or sophistication; it calls to everyone, everywhere. We need only respond...Live what really matters"

    The Little Book of Wisdom encourages thinking and reflection of how we lived our lives so far. Have we lived it to its fullest and did we focus on the people, things and values that really matter? These questions are most timely for readers age 20 to mid-30s, who are in the peak of their careers or in the pursuit of having one. It is also suited to those people who want to do everything, go everywhere, and experience everything NOW.

    In today's fast-paced world, taking a pause and a breather are seen as costly. The book reminds us that, by doing exactly those things, we could reap greater wisdom and even reach greater lengths. The book inspires us to recognize the merit of thinking and reflection, to acknowledge the random lessons we could get in unpredictable, and often overlooked, situations and to not just do what we've always done.

    An easy read, the author successfully weaved the stories and experiences to emphasize the lessons he wanted to impart. There's no better way of learning and remembering (the lessons) than by storytelling. If you want to be inspired and enlightened by the experiences of others, this book is for you.

    The Little Red Book of Wisdom by Mark DeMoss

    This review was written for The Little Red Book of Wisdom.
    The Little Red Book of Wisdom is about time tested principles that will assist you in both your personal and your business relationships. The author draws on several of his personal experiences to demonstrate how there is wisdom in using many basic and common sense principles.

    The author discusses on several occasions the practices of his own public relations firm, as well as, the lessons he learned from his father. The book was a quick read and broken down into twenty-three short chapters. The length of the chapters was fine but it seemed that the book was all over the place. The author would tell a story and then he would quickly jump to something else. It may have been more effective to elaborate on some of the stories that were told as it may leave the reader wanting to turn the page.

    This book was difficult to get through, though the principles were excellent, the way the book was written seemed more like an advertisement for the author's public relations company. Again, the principles that the author discusses are tried and true but the delivery could have been more effective.
