According to the author himself, an aphorism can be a maxim, a sentence, or simply a piece of advice that leads to action. On the other hand, the reflections go a little further, because they submit the idea they transmit to the evaluation of reason, so that the reader decides what he wants to do with it. That is why we can consider that, with his Anthology of Thoughts, Antoni Bolinches presents us with an innovative self-help book in which each of the 700 quotes from him provides a slogan that can be used as an instrument of action or reflection at the service of personal improvement. It is a book that, with short sentences and synthetic messages, transmits to the reader the stimulating idea that each person can become the main protagonist of their own future if they are able to place themselves in the present with the will to excel.
