I received an ARC from Netgalley

Wisdom and Wit from Shanti Rose is a lovely book for when you need a pick me up, full of affirmations and concepts for life. There are 301 little gems within the book to be enjoyed each with at least one perfect for every situation in life. The author writes the book so it can be picked up and opened at any page without having to read from cover to cover

Wisdom and Wit from Shanti Rose is the perfect book to give to yourself when you need a little spoiling. Full of wonderful little affirmations or concepts for life, each of the ‘truisms’ make for enjoyable strolling through the pages, particularly when there is need of a laugh or slightly different perspective, or perhaps a little old fashioned wisdom, one might say.
There are 301 of these lovely little gems, to be enjoyed with at least one perfect for nearly every occasion, or at least 301 of life’s little moments.
This style of book is generally created to allow the reader to simply open the book at any given page and the first series of words the eye arrives at, is the required wisdom sought which would be ideal with this book, as it is simply put, many years of innate wisdom captured in brief.
At the conclusion of the ‘wisdom’ there is a lovely collection of Visionary Art also from Shanti Rose, each piece vibrant in their colours and designed to bring a burst of feel-good energy into the day. Each piece comes with a lovely little descriptor with a delightful message or affirmation attached.
When using this second section of the book select a piece and simply sit and dwell on the painting allowing it to tell you a story and then read the description that accompanies each work. The message is powerful and most enjoyable.
Shanti Rose is a visionary, artist and writer who reaches out to all in need of a little solace and direction in their life through her art and insightful wisdom. In doing so she invites you to heal and discover a vast array of answers or differing perspectives to some of life’s many mysteries.

Wisdom and Wit is a book of maxim’s and artwork by Shanti Rose.
The first part is a basic listing of 301 adages and advice for living well, such as “do as much good as you can.” The second part is visual artwork by the author.

I did not like the layout of first part. It was just a listing without much design. It would have been nice if it were listed in categories, for instance.

The artwork in the second part is gorgeous! Below each painting is a description and explanation of what the artist is trying to convey. Shanti Rose clearly has a gift.

Thanks to NetGalley, Turqoise River Publications, and Shanti Rose for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Unusual book - a collection of quotes and art. I expected some of the quotes to be familiar, so was surprised when they weren't. Some of them were quite thought-provoking.

A book to dip in and out of. I liked the artwork as well!

When I got this book, I figured it would be a good self-help book and provide chapters and paragraphs. Unfortunately, it only gave me numbers with different "wisdom and wit" quotations. I wish this book would of offered more,

A cute little collection of quips and quotes - mostly one liners and one per page. Wise, funny and thoughtful. Nice to just dip into for a little pick-me-up.

301 Gems to Grin and Grow

I LOVED this little jewel of smiles and laughs. I planned to read this while at my doctor's office. I ended up much better for having this to pass time while waiting. I will save this one, and buy it as it becomes available. Very worth the read!!

I loved this book! It shares unique Wisdom & Wit in many different situations.
Perfect little pick me up for day to day life!
