A close friend and mentor gave me this book when I was a teen, and I have thought about its passages many times over the years. It's a book of very few words (if you type them all out, they fit on a single page) but the wisdom and guidance in those words is quite powerful.
I have made important life decisions with the words from this book in my head.
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.
