Brilliant. Written very simply, but with immense depth if you look beyond the surface. Concise and to the point, it’s a quick read that leaves you with much to reflect on. I have a list of books I plan on reading yearly, this may be something I read monthly. Plan for my next read through is to read a page a day and then use that page as a writing prompt for one of my daily journaling sessions. The art in the book mirrors the writing, simple but deep, invoking the same level of contemplation as the words themselves.
Highly recommend this book as a “must read” for anyone and everyone as the philosophy it holds is universal.

The content in this book is very deep. It talks about gathering the courage to pursue your aim and not fear committing a mistake as that's how one will grow.
If you have read self-help books then you might not find a new message in this one.
The writing is nuanced which makes it a pleasant read on a rainy day.

Use your bad moments to discover what makes you tremble. Use your good moments to find your road to inner peace.
A master, who was once famous for his archery, retires a long ago, teaches a boy about the different nuances of archery, metaphorically gives the lessons of life in a very subtle way. It’s a teacher- disciple conversation based fictional work on the line of great works like Thus spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche, The prophet by Khalil Gibran, The art of war by Sun Tzu (which I read) etc., but failed to justice fully.
You might find many part of it useful, as long as you expectations aren’t quite high. A more interactive and elaborated description of the ideas could have made it amazing. It can be read as short story with some good takeaways as lesson, which might not be completely new or refreshing, however, certainly be helpful in many other ways.

A small nugget of wisdom on every page presented with such clarity and in a way, although I am not an archer, that really opened my eyes.
