Parables, anecdotes and fables have always been popular ways of conveying essential wisdom for personal development. Nuggets of Wisdom is one such book - a rare collection of little tales, stories and incidents that the author has painstakingly collected over the years. Each is a prime example of earthy wisdom that young people need so badly, but which are so hard to come by in the rush of coping with the minutiae of daily life. They uplift the mind, open practical channels of right action, as well as appeal to one’s higher consciousness and sense of ethics, besides promoting robust common sense.Bookish learning is soon forgotten...but the wisdom contained in this book will always stay with the reader. It is highly recommended to the younger generation, so that they may live their lives to their fullest potential!The author, J.M.Mehta has been devoting much of his time in reading and writing.
