I have been recommended this book many years ago, so long ago that I can’t even remember who did the recommendation, but it has always been in my to-read list. I now understand why it’s been selling so well!
Due to my eye problem, I used Speechify to listen to it instead of reading it, but I have to say, it made me stop so many times to digest, feel, (I try not to say “think”), learn and accept.
What I like about the book:
– It shows you the essence of staying in the present moment and disconnecting from your dictator within (i.e. your mind).
– A lot of insightful and spiritual ideas. (e.g. “Accept it like you had chosen it” – a whole new level of acceptance to me)
– It matches with my therapy approach (but due to the reasons below, I haven’t recommended it to any client).
What I think it could be better:
– The writing style, it almost feels like the author is rambling, with an authoritative tone.
– Lack of some tools that people get to experience and practice the ideas, instead of just ideas after ideas.
Overall it’s still highly recommendable. I’m happy if anyone would like to have some discussions about it.
