Beauty: The Invisible Embrace by John O'Donohue
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Charming reflection on Beauty in our lives.

I heard a reference to this in a NYTimes editorial and requested the book - and discovered this lecture from O'Donohue on Audible - so I gave it a listen (it's not very long) and found it a good reflection - as noted elsewhere, " O'Donohue reveals how beauty's invisible embraceinvites us toward new heights of passion and creativity even in these uncertain timesof global conflict and crisis. " (Now, I need to find the print book, waiting for me at the library).

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good tips if you're planning on getting older.

Since that is the aspiration of most folks, they'll probably find some good advice here. Rosenblatt dispenses pithy points and prods on the path to aging wisely. Whenever your take yourself too seriously, just remember rules 1 and 2 - "It doesn't matter." and "Nobody is thinking about you."
