The thing I like about this book is that it has lots of pithy one-liners that mirrors the style of the book of Proverbs itself. Here are some examples:
By the pursuit of a good name, he can make his years meaningful and add to them something more valuable and lasting than the material.

Before anyone can learn the path of wisdom, he has to admit he doesn’t know everything.

Most people see pride for what it is: a futile attempt to compensate for insecurities and self-doubt.
Pride demands honor while bringing dishonor. This makes pride the true position of weakness.

A person can also develop self-control when he becomes mindful instead of emotional. In the moment, in the heat of passion, at the point of gratification, he chooses mindfulness. Mindfulness does not charge ahead without thought or reflection; it stops to think. A small but continued price made each day to weigh the consequences or options fosters a habit of making mindful decisions.

Making peace refers to the establishment of positive relationships with people and is a costly, sometimes painful, enterprise.

An impoverished person is not one who has little, but the one who never thinks she has enough.
A wealthy person is not the one who has much, but the one who sees just how much she really has—even what is bitter tastes sweet.
If we would like to be well-off, then instead of wanting more, all we need do is appreciate what we already have.

When we want what we have, then we are truly wealthy.

Any time you feel badly take notice of your thoughts. If they are obsessive or negative, boil them down to one main thought. Write it down and make a list of positive thoughts and actions to answer and counter your pessimistic cognition.

Giving is an act that refreshes and blesses both the giver and receiver.

You can’t change others, but you can change yourself.

What will any of this matter a year from now? Not a bit. In the grand scheme, in light of eternity, many problems simply do not matter.
