This was recommending by a co worker of mine but I know I have seen it float around the book world for sometime but didn't really think much about it. I actually had thought it was more of a "classic" (which I guess depending on who you ask it is) but was surprised to find out that it was published in 1988. 

I thought the audiobook was a nice listen as it was narrated by actor Jeremy Irons. Though I will say at times all I could hear was Scar from the Lion King (he was the voice of) and it made me chuckle.

Even though this story is very short, it packed the punch with memorable quotes.
Some of my favorite were:
"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

"This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you."

"Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now."

I recommend this if you are looking for a quick listen (4 hrs) and something that is insightful and makes you continue to reach for those dreams and goals that are in your reach.
