Soulpancake: Chew on Life's Big Questions

I bought this book as a gift for a friend who seems to be looking for the answers to life's big questions and struggling to find them. I only managed to have a flick through and a read of some of the questions and quotes, as well as a look at the great illustrations, before wrapping it up and giving it to my friend. But from what I saw and read, it seems like a great, uplifting, positive slant on those deep and serious questions that everyone asks at some point in their lives. Unlike other books that I've seen my friend reading, that touch on the same subject, this book doesn't tell you the answers, but instead asks you. It gets you to really think about yourself and your life, which I think is more effective than being told what to think. It is geared towards creatives and is great if you are into graphics, illustration and art, as it contains some great artwork, and also has a chapter based around creativity. It is equally just as effective if you are not in the industry. Overall it is a great book with a positive attitude and some inspirational quotes and artwork.

Interesting read and visually pleasing

I love this, tried several types of self-help books before including those you just read and CBT books, but none have held my attention like this. It's great to pick up and put down, do as much or as little as you want at a time, and really makes you think. I love that you can write in it, it makes it very accessible and gets rid of the problem I usually have of finding a seperate notepad to write in, which generally puts me off continuing with self help books.

Thought that there would be more written by wilson, a lot of it is left to you to write.

I had seen Rainn Wilson on Oprah and thought he made sense in a fun way. This book has made me think differently about life, death and religion. A challenging book if you want to be challenged and also highly enjoyable. I have subscribed to the website and am recommending to all my friends.

A good book to take your mind off the ordinary

I have only read half of the book so far but so far it's good. As I don't have a lot of time, each section is brief and also very thought provoking.

Such a thought-provoking book. There isn't much discussion, mainly questions to think about. I loved the introduction from Wilson, really inspiring and I identified with it straight away. Delighful layout. Great present for teens
