This book was recommended to me by my mom all throughout high school, but being the busy teenager I was I didn't actually read it until my last year of college. Since then, I have read this about 7 or 8 times and each time I come away with a deeper understanding of my own life. This is an eloquently written book about a grown man and his old professor and the lessons that can be learned even outside of the structured and formal education building. This is a story that everybody can relate to in one way or another, and allows the reader to put their priorities into perspective. I find that I always reach for this book at times when I feel lost or when my own future is unknown. I believe this book would be beneficial to everybody, but especially those who are looking for a deeper and more significant meaning to their lives.
