More Tiny Thoughts for Personal Transformation by Karl Schmidt begins with a warning: “...after reading any, some, or all of the information contained herein, your life will never be the same.” This book is a collection of Karl’s aphorisms on a wide variety of topics. Some of these are plain logic, a few are adaptations of existing maxims, but all are enjoyable. It begins with a proclamation “I would rather have a heart that bleeds than a heart that chips,” and proceeds on a journey through a mixed collection of ruminations and ponderings. For example, the thoughts contained in “I appreciate all of your presents, yet it is your presence that is most appreciated,” or "Perhaps the reason we are born with two eyes and two ears is to remind us to see and hear both sides;” “Take heed; even the most bitter of poisons is easy to swallow when coated with honey” or “If people are no longer interested in your ‘feel-sorry’ story, perhaps it is because they have already heard the ending too many times” show the wide variety of interests espoused by Karl.
More Tiny Thoughts for Personal Transformation by Karl Schmidt is a pleasure to read. It evokes many memories of books read in the past, of talks attended, of maxims encountered in life and forgotten, as well as of one's personal experiences. Especially at moments when somber and brooding is the ambiance favored by our psyche, this book shall be greatly welcomed as a choice.
