NOTES TO MYSELF: A book review

25 May 2022 
Wednesday 
Dear Diary,
Today, I felt relaxed and comfortable by completing reading a book called "Notes To Myself" by Hugh Prather. It is a collection of wise thoughts written by Prather about society, his emotions, about himself in the form of notes. The author tells his struggles to be a good husband, a good dad, a citizen, and a person himself. 
 At first, when I started reading this book, I felt no more relating to the lines he wrote but when I understood the deep meaning hidden inside these quotes. I felt emotional. Notes written in the book are the personal opinions of the author which feel connected to the author. Every note is unique by itself, For example, The note on the next page would be based on a different issue with a new meaning rather than connecting to the past issue. This makes me know more about the problems he faced. His emotions in this book are beautifully described. 
This summer vacation reading this book was a great source of knowledge to take in. It was just a new experience for me to read this kind of book. This is such a self-help book, that talks about depression, anger issues, fear, self-love everything. In this world full of negative thoughts, this book spreads positivity even after 50 years of publication. From my side, I would suggest my friends and family read this book.
