   Reader note

   This book is well worth reading. It's not about trivial family matters or the stubbornness and irrationality of the elderly. Instead, it offers a different perspective: a wise grandmother teaches her children and grandchildren how to navigate life and get along with others. Each chapter is a bit long, but you can read them separately. Wise people thrive anywhere; they know when to let go, when to fight for what they can, and never make things difficult for themselves.
