The book is the culmination of several years of extensive compiling and
research into the wisdom of over 350 of some of history's most
insightful people. Wheler's detailed work includes 22 simultaneously
illuminating and entertaining chapters. Each chapter fuses humor, wit,
wisdom, history and criticism into its pages of interwoven quotations.
Controversial topics have not been avoided, as Wheler addresses
religion, politics and society all through the informative lens of some
of history's greatest minds. "SNAPPY SAYINGS: wit & wisdom from the
world's greatest minds" strives to examine a vast variety of topics
through its quotes, and does so in a way that few books of its kind have
ever achieved. Chapter topics in the book range from Money, Work,
Education and The Professions to Sports, The Arts, Politicians and
Democracy. Human beings are examined in keen detail with chapters
covering Sex, Love, Marriage, Women, Man, Religion and Human Nature, to
name a few. Each chapter seamlessly dives into numerous sub-topics,
covering such a wide variety of content as acting, entrepreneurship,
medicine, alimony, golf and boxing. Additionally, the book contains an
extensive section of biographies with brief, but highly informative,
background information on some of the great minds behind this fantastic
collection of insightful quotes. Notable thought-provoking and
potentially controversial quotes from the book include the following:
You can't say civilization don't advance...in every war they kill you in
a new way. -Will Rogers The first clergyman was the first rascal who
met the first fool. -Voltaire Politicians are interested in people. Not
that this is always a virtue. Fleas are interested in dog. -P.J. O'

REVIEW
I found this book was so much fun to read and it will definitely be a keeper to read and re-read. I didn't find any boring sayings. You will find that most of the SNAPPY SAYINGS will find you smiling and laughing. I believe it will appeal to all ages and people that have different levels of humor.
I've showed it to several people I know and I almost lost it. They didn't want to let go of it.
The author wrote a wonderful collection of quips and quotes that have come from brilliant minds throughout time. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago to this modern age. This is not only an interesting book, but such a form of humorous entertainment. This is one of those books you can look through when you're looking for something "snappy". It will make you smile when you are down and nothing can take the place of that.
A wonderful book for everyone.
I was given a complimentary copy of SNAPPY SAYINGS from the author, Bradford Wheler and Bostick Communications for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book a SOLID 5 STARS.
