"I listened to this as an audiobook from the library, but may have to buy a copy of this just to mark up, highlight, and underline. There are more fantastic quotes in this book than i could have imagined. Actually will end up buying it because its really that good."
"Insightful. One of my favorite quotes, speaking about a well known exuberant individual, "Life for Theodore Roosevelt, said one friend, was the "unpacking of endless Christmas stockings.""
"What a breath of fresh and exhilerating air to read of a discussion and study of a positive psychological trait. The only problem is it gets a little too scholarly and wordy in places but very worthwhile especially where my heros like Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are discussed."
