Good Things
Happen to Good People. Okay so we all know that that statement
isn’t completely true. All of you reading this review are probably pretty good people and likely you’ve had some difficulties and not so nice things happen to you. Life isn’t always roses and sunshine.Frankly, I hated this
title but I liked the
book. I feel like the title suggested that I get ready for some sort of sermon about how all the troubles in my life were caused by my own lack of
perfection. However, once I started reading, I was happily surprised. I found stories of individuals whose lives were definitely less than perfection but who had rose above their situation to find a greater good in that
experience. I believe that we experience everything for a reason and that often the most difficult situations lead us to
important understandings about ourselves and the world around us. I think that often those darkest moments direct us to our passion. Illustrating this phoenix like potential in all of us is the strongest, most important point of Good Things Happen to Good People.
