Everybody can use more wisdom, and this little book, which the authors describe as a “Zentrepreneur’s Guide,” offers up some real mindful nuggets of thought. Called “wowisms,” these proverbs of possibility are intended to get your mind thinking, engage your spirit and enthuse your heart.

Accompanied by beautiful watercolor pictures, these quotes have a real Zen feel, and that is exactly the authors’ intention. The purpose of these sayings is not to bash you over the head with knowledge, but to create an inner shift of attitude that permeates all levels of being, bringing more lasting change and success. Some of my favorite quotes are:

Your dream may be dismissed, derided, disparaged, and cruelly ridiculed, but it cannot be taken away unless it is given up on.

If you make each effort a masterpiece, know that the gods can do no better.
