2-2.5 stars. It had a good message and I loved the premise of a philosophical café, but the writing style was a little hackneyed and overly simple in an annoying manner (such as the obvious food metaphor, and the ‘how does she know what I'm thinking' trope that's poorly done). However, I did appreciate the golf anecdote. Also, I was familiar with the fisherman's tale, although I prefer Jutta Bauer's little book called ‘Selma' about a sheep who has found contentment.
I'm not currently in a place in my life where I needed this book, but maybe it will be a better fit for others.
