Drawing from her 2019 memoir of living at a spiritual retreat in Scotland, S. A. Snyder's new book, "The Value of Your Soul," is a collection of 38 peculiar "annoyances," each with conventional translations that most of us can relate to. With the help of select verses from the Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Snyder teases out some lessons learned from her experiences and offers a soupçon of homespun wisdom for coping with people, circumstances, and life. Her witty style and unique experiences combine to make this a fun, light read with a reminder not to take life too seriously. If you enjoy chicken soup stories, you'll laugh at Snyder's quirky approach to self-improvement. Think of it as lamb stew for the annoyed soul!
