Book excerpt: The quest for wisdom is an ageless pursuit that rewards the seeker with a lifetime of knowledge, satisfaction, and personal success. These are riches that never lose value with the passing of time. In the ancient tradition of handing down wisdom through the art of storytelling, author Sharoq AlMalki has curated a collection of 110 fables and allegories, each paired with a moral explanation. Rich with advice for personal and professional success, they both entertain and guide the reader toward developing strength, kindness, sincerity, honesty, integrity, and many other characteristics of the wise. Learn how to ask for help and work with a team, rather than trying to accomplish your goals alone. Understand how to maintain and utilize your creativity instead of letting technology think for you. Believe in yourself, and respect failure without fearing it. Studying these stories and their lessons will infuse your work with soul, spirit, and passion. You'll begin to stand out from the workforce as a productive and successful employee who is fun to work with and be around. Read through, and learn from, A Piece of Peace, and, in the end, you may become known for your wisdom, too!
