If u do not belong to the sweatshop then its an easy and fun read. In fact, I was thinking of doing this book in Braille for the blind children. her lessons are old fashioned(the way I like them) and they are good lessons.
As a book, I loved the brevity of each chapter and the old fashioned messages that it sent across. Its a personal opinion thing, and I tend to agree with her opinions quite a bit!
She discusses most things - the changing world where it is not possible to advice people around you because its their "personal" matter, of young boys and their honesty, and lack thereof, but the most impressive is the man in Kalahandi, Orissa, who tells us the real use of money in a simple, direct manner. That one has stuck with me.
The book is, as the foreword suggests, a collection of her articles in other publications. The articles almost always have an anecdote, and that makes them fun to read. The messages are yours to take or leave, but I am planning to buy more books by the author. I like her style.
