My Opinion:
Even upon completing this book, I still ask myself how do I achieve heaven on earth? The book didn't answer that question, so if you're like me, looking for a literal answer, keep looking.
This book is an inspirational view on achieving happiness or contentment from your life. With the collection of essays, some even written by people we can all name, they do hit on the right topics. Whether they stick or not is another story.
Not the best book in the world to take inspiration from, but surely no where near the worst either. I'm stuck in the middle with it.
(2.5/5)

After reading the synopsis it would make the world a better place if all of those things could be achieved.
