A compilation of 200 of the most reassuring and empathetic quotes for anyone going through a difficult time. At some point, we all need a pick-me-up; comforting words from a friend, family, or colleague. This Book Is a Hug embodies all of these things. It’s a soft blanket on a chilly night. It's a comfy sweatshirt that's been washed a hundred times. It's a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Through warm and comforting words, this book provides an emotional boost. Always in your back pocket and within arm's reach, this collection is lovingly assembled for reassurance that everyone needs some TLC sometimes. Here is a selection of quotes from the book: “You've got a friend in me…”—Randy Newman "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”—Christopher Robin to Pooh, via A.A. Milne “Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your perceptions need you, your feeling needs you. The wounded child in you needs you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.” —Thich Nhat Hanh “Breathe it all in, love it all out.”—Mary Oliver “Turn your wounds into wisdom.”—Oprah “My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I’ve finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.”—Dave Barry
