an insightful read and guide to beginning easing suffering caused by thinking.
y’all had me until the “there’s no right and wrong” and using political parties as an example. nah. there were a few good points, but overall it was repetitive and nothing mind-blowing :/

A pretty life-changing and perspective-altering book if you allow it to be, and I don’t throw around “life-changing” lightly.. Requires a lot of mental discipline, reframing and re-wiring despite its extremely simple message, tips and lesson. Like many ‘self-help’ books it sorta beats its message into the ground like beating a dead horse, stretched out to 100 pages but I found the message so enlightening that I didn’t mind that. Been awhile since I’ve blown through a book this fast.

I agree with some of the concepts in the book, in particular about how things like meditation and breath work can be effective methods to manage stress.
But this is a book directed at people who deal with anxiety and nervousness. And while I don't personally deal with those things, I understand that some of the primary aspects of anxiety are overthinking and ruminating.
And the author's suggestion to manage those issues is to essentially stop thinking about it. Which, to the point, is the specific problem anxious people have - that they can't stop overthinking. So telling them to stop seems shortsighted and unhelpful.
I don't know, overall this book was fine but I have a hard time taking it seriously. I wouldn't recommend it to someone struggling with anxiety or having trouble managing stress as a means of helping them address their problems.

While the premise sounds great, I was completely turned off by the new agey talk- there is no way consider myself " divine." " The god within you" talk ruined it for me.
