Summary
The nine-time bestseller of the year that has transformed the lives of millions around the world. Over five million copies sold.
In a small café at a location so remote it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, John—a man in a hurry—is at a crossroads. Intent only on refueling before moving along on his road trip, he finds sustenance of an entirely different kind.
In addition to the specials of the day, the café menu lists three questions all diners are encouraged to consider: Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled?
With this food for thought and the guidance of three people he meets at the café, John embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, he discovers a new way to look at life, himself, and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle.

A short and potent remedy for the lost
A simple story to inspire anyone lost in the maze of mediocrity. Very enjoyable read

cheap but motivating
Very poor literature full of "I shrugged" and "she nodded" that makes you think... why

Good content although obviously very short for 1c
Good reflective content.
Framed in a weird and meaningless story that really doesnt add anything.
And there is no way round the fact that it's a very short book for 1 credit. It would be fair to bundle the trilogy for 1 credit.

why. just why
its easy to understand till the point that it's annoyingly simple, and I didn't like the philosophy behind it. the main thesis is that you should just do whatever you want in life. find a purpose and live your life by it. how to do it? meditate on it, or go in nature. that's it, that's the book. it's pseudo philosophical lifestyle advice from the privileged to the priviliged. I guess it gives you a motivational shot and ideas for a couple of pages of journaling. if you are here for it, then that's great, otherwise I recommend avoiding it like the plage. instead take the book's advice and just go in nature and meditate on your life. you would get the same amount of insight from it or more than reading the book. and less headache for sure.

Too little content
It's ok, but the ideas (which are alright but neither new nor revolutionary) are developed painfully slowly and the story around them isn't exactly gripping either, so the result can be boring at times. Also, it doesn't go beyond the basic ideas, so it is mostly for people who have never thought much in this direction at all. I wouldn't say it is terrible, but there is simply not enough content for me to like it.
I didn't care much for the way it was read, either, but this might come down to personal preference.
