There Are Three Questions
When is the best time to do things?
Who is the most important one?
What is the right thing to do?
The Three Questions (2002) by Jon J. Muth gives insightful answers to each of the three questions. Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace, Anna Karenina) wrote The Three Questions (a short story) in 1903. It is one of my favorite books and one of my favorite books to give others. You can find online, at your library or favorite bookstore.
