“I initially bought Forty Talks as an ebook, but have now ordered a hardcopy as well because this is a book that definitely deserves a place on the bookshelf! It is an easy read, short and concise yet packed with gems of wisdom and insight and interspersed with interesting and thought-provoking little Sufi stories. A valuable piece of work for anyone interested in spirituality, regardless of what might be their chosen path, and I would recommend it to both those who have already embarked on a spiritual journey and those who may be interested to know a little bit more about spirituality. The author, Mir Hadian, has a very straightforward and unpretentious way of communicating with his reader, and it is refreshing to find a book on spirituality that cuts through the chase and comes straight to the point.”
