A close friend and mentor gave me this book when I was still a teen, and I can honestly say that I have thought about its passages many times over the years. It's a book of very few words (if you typed them all out, they would fit on a single page) but the wisdom and guidance in those words is quite powerful.
I have made decisions, important ones, during my lifetime with the words from this book consciously in my head at those moments.
Okay, enough of my experience with Desiderata. Read it. And if you're lucky, it'll have a powerful effect on you, too.
Note: I've also seen updated versions of this book titled: Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life
Desiderata, 1927, 1954
Five Stars.
