The illustrations are wonderful and really make the story come alive in a real, but humorous way. I love the cat, he has some of the best lines in the whole book.
I loved this book because of the old folktale, but it's still a great story for modern kids. My younger siblings enjoyed the story, even though they called parts of it strange.

Radde's concern is that "Very few people seem to be living in a thriving space, or letting on that they are, if indeed they are. One percent currently derive the richest experience of, and full enjoyment from, their lives." The balance are Committed Seekers (35%), Going About Their Daily Lives (40%), or Think Thriving is a Forbidden Fruit (24%). So, the focus of his book "is on this exceptional state of well-being called thriving . . . an experience of lightness, expansiveness, and exceptional well-being: the precise exceptional moments of well-being that many people say make life worth living."
The book is organized into three parts: Defining Thriving and Thrival, Getting Started on Your Path to Thriving, and Rules & Guidelines to Access Thriving. The twenty chapters range from Life Can Be Better to Entering the Thrival Era, Opening Yourself Up, Five Things You Can Control, and Meet Your Essential Need for Balance. The third section of the book includes three rules and seven guidelines for thriving and a guide to getting it all together. A recommended reading list expands the reader's opportunity to learn.
This book is a first-person sharing and caring that opens into a sort of conversation, a discussion about the topic. Readers will nod, contemplate, and perhaps make adjustments in their lives to reach closer to Radde's thrival state. For those who would like a sort of personal experience with an introspective psychologist and close observer of life, this book will be very enjoyable. For those who don't desire to really get in touch with their inner selves, this is not the time for you to read this book.
It's even great on a technical level, giving us grids and proportion when painting Buddhas. The authors even explains how to create the pigments with authentic materials; as well as telling us where in the world to find them.
Indispensible resource.

It is sumptuous, penetrating and great art. The book is long out of print and this re-print (not quite perfect as some of the pictures appear a little soft) is a rare opportunity to own it without forking out hundreds of pounds for an original (not that they come on the market).
If you are interested in photography, the Western Isles, Scotland or even just life and people, buy it!
