⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
Wise up. Stand up. Read and be inspired.
You got this. When arranged in this exact sequence, these three simple words have the power to silence your doubts, internalize your dreams, and encourage you to push forward. While our words may seem weightless on paper, they carry considerable weight when others read or hear them, and have an even bigger impact on yourself.
Our lives are full of challenges, and we spend days (or years) walking on unpaved roads to get somewhere—yet that somewhere might not be the destination we intend to reach. In these moments, words of wisdom can motivate you to keep searching for the path that will lead you to where you want to be.
Within these pages, you’ll find 101 life lessons, written as quotes, to inspire you to look for the positives in your life. Accompanying this quotebook is a 12-track instrumental collection, Sonder, created in collaboration with 12 talented artists in the lofi, soul, and hip hop communities to enhance your reading experience. Access to Sonder is available in this book and on all music streaming platforms.
When you read quotes, it's like having a conversation with friends since it can be done anywhere, and at any time you need it. Get your dose of inspiration by reading quotes that serve as friendly reminders that your words can speak louder than your actions if you use them wisely.
My Thoughts
Around the world, thousands of people have found inspiration in the words of Doris Siu. Her honesty, spirit, and ample supply of tough wisdom have enabled many of us, even in the darkest hours, to somehow put one foot in front of the other—and be Wise Up, Stand Up.
This book gathers, each on a single page, amazingly indelible quotes and thoughts—"mini instruction manuals for the soul" that urge us toward the incredible capacity for life, action and endurance that is within us all.
Gorgeous, a little 124-page gem. The one book every man and woman must read this year. The stop-whatever-you’re-doing-and-read-this-now book, in which every turn of phrase is tattoo-worthy, every tidbit of wisdom too good not to share with every single one of your friends. It’s the kind of book that makes your highlighters run out of ink, and your Post-Its run out of stick. In the 101-words of wisdom quotes, thoughts, words of wisdom, and tidbits of beauty that Doris Siu has compiled, you will recognize yourself over and over again, in the best and worst and most essential ways . . . It will encourage you, breath by breath, unpaid bill by unpaid bill, bucket list goal by bucket list goal, all the way to the you whom you want to be—however long it might take. . . .
Doris Siu can take readers from the church to the saloon in literally three words or less. She invites you to quietly marvel at the universe with her, and then promptly demands that you go out and participate in it, followed by a swift kick to the rear. She keeps it real, none of her words are wasted, and they are always the right ones.
I believe in the power of words to help us reset our intentions, clarify our thoughts, and create a counternarrative to the voice of doubt in our heads. helps you create that counternarrative. [It shouts,] ‘Yes!
Highly Recommended!
