BTW I'm not religious at all and this book isn't aimed at converting anyone. Its a great book for anyone of any religion/mindset

Looks like a good read!

On a similar, less humorous, but nonetheless very meaningful note, I'd recommend "Peace is every step" by Thich Nhat Hanh - contains a lot of great llittle anecdotes that relate to everyday living, and how cluttered and noisy our lives have become - and ways to try and calm anxious minds through becoming more aware of yourself

Thanks, that looks a really good read. I'm not religious myself so don't mind anything with a religous sway in any direction. I do like positivity though and it looks like this book has it so I'll be getting a copy. I'll also take a look at the other recommendation.
