With a message both surprising and simple, it is a love letter to humankind, a book for those who are free and don't know it. An Inspirational Tale with 42 Beautiful Illustrations In this story for all ages, a struggling boy begins a life-changing journey when a disgusting guest disturbs his dinner. Continuing to encounter sources of suffering, the boy must investigate fundamental truths he has believed about himself, love, and life. He confronts some of life’s most persistent questions: What am I? What causes me to suffer? How can I be at peace with the traumas of the past and the uncertainty of the future? What determines how I experience life? Described as “a children's book for adults,” How to Hold a Cockroach was written for adults but is suitable for thoughtful teenagers and children.

Review: Buy the hardcover version!!! - I saw an excerpt from this book on Facebook and thought it was interesting, a book for adults, written like a children’s book. There are several options to purchase, the recommended one is the hardcover, and that is what I chose, despite the contrast in pricing. The illustrations in this book are superb, simplistic yet deep— especially towards the back of the book. It is a quick read, you can quickly see where the book is going. It’s based upon building and changing your own perspective, and understanding why your perspective may sometimes go towards a negative position. I was honestly moved by the book, and shared it with my husband… Who never reads, but he read it all in one sitting and had the same emotions I did about it. I can’t wait to pass it along to my adult son to read, and I hope that he gets even a portion out of it that I did. It would be an excellent book for a gift. I don’t do a whole lot of desertcart reviews, despite purchasing more and more from them as I become more and more introverted with older age, I guess… if you’re looking at this book, opt for the hardcover copy, I feel the authors intent can only really be conveyed through this medium. It was simplistic and just a really good message. Well worth the money and is something I will likely purchase several copies of to gift and keep one on my bookshelf. Review: Eye Opening - Great read. I highly recommend it. This book is like an awakening. You don’t have to accept things because thats just the way they are. You can change your mind. Question everything. Life is about perception. And once you realize that, that is truly living. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,624 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) #166 in Happiness Self-Help #181 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,093 Reviews | ## Images ![How To Hold a Cockroach: A book for those who are free and don't know it - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cRvQcOcGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy the hardcover version!!! *by A***R on July 11, 2025* I saw an excerpt from this book on Facebook and thought it was interesting, a book for adults, written like a children’s book.
