People that prefer this type of soft-pedal, new-age philosophy can probably be found having epiphanies in the Hallmark section of the grocery store.
Loved this book. Just loved this book. So many quotes and thoughts to mull over. Perhaps a few of my favorites are: "You teach best what you most need to learn." and
"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it [come] true. You may have to work for it, however."
"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it [come] true. You may have to work for it, however."
Entre dos y tres estrellas, según el estado de ánimo. Tras Juan Salvador Gaviota, el autor se descuelga con un libro aún más extraño, que comienza con una fábula sobre la segunda venida de Cristo en forma de mecánico y continúa con un encuentro en un campo de cereal de Illinois entre dos pilotos. El libro tiene demasiadas frases obvias, peca un poco de paulocoelhismo.
O, aún peor,
A mucha gente le sirve de inspiración, a mí me produjo algo de rechazo. Nada comparado con el estremecimiento de grima y asco que me provoca Albert Espinosa, pero pariente lejano. Un poco intrascendente para ser un libro que habla de la trascendencia.

Really amazing messages in here. Would have preferred it to be told in a different format, personally, but I love the philosophy.
This book feels a bit dated, but I liked the messages in it! I wouldn't say it was revolutionary for me, by any means, as I have read similar things in many other places.
'If you really want to remove a cloud from your life, you do not make a big production out of it, you just relax and remove it from your thinking. That's all there is to it.'
My penultimate book for the year, a slim volume with some deep thoughts. As with Siddhartha and Jonathan Livingston Seagull, both of which I read earlier in the year, this book didn't change my life. But I've had quite a few clouds in my life this year and so the above quote is a good reminder to be more mindful and live in the now rather than the past or the future. Now is all we can touch and know for certain.

Sutikau ją Vilniaus knygų mugėje šį pavasarį. Vos mūsų akims susitikus, paėmiau į rankas. Buvau nusprendus nepirkt knygų, bet juk mano mėgstamiausio rašytojo ir tik 2 eurai. Kai pardavėjas pamatė mano dvejones, suprato. Juk tai meilė iš pirmo žvilgsnio. 1,5 euro. Nu gerai, kaip galima atsispirti? Savo kuklioje lentynoje radau jai vietą šalia sesės. Ji ten laukė, kol vėl sutiko mano žvilgsnį. Nepaleido jo ir dabar. Perskaičiau, mano pasaulis vėl šiek tiek pasikeitė, kaip ir po visų Bacho knygų. Dabar jis laisvesnis. Būtent to ir moko ši knyga – laisvės. Rekomenduoju, kam norisi trumpo, bet į pasaulį kitaip pažvelgti skatinančio skaitinio.
