This book puts forth our timeless protagonist, the Mullah Nasruddin, through stories of the human condition, from our desiring of approval from others, jealousy, sadness and grief, and many other challenging aspects of our lives. The Mullah, ever popular in Sufi folklore, shares with us deeply spiritual insights and sometimes simple practices and reflections one can make in dealing with simple, universal situations that any reader could easily identify with. Simple to understand, deeply thoughtful yet lighthearted at most times, this book usually provides a spiritual exercise at the end of each story that one can perform for better well-being. A great book all-around, it is a great gift for children, the elderly, or anyone facing any form of difficulty in their lives.
