"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers. Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while, and watch your answers change. You teach best what you most need to learn."

I am at my wits end to describe this book. 143 pages of notions and faith and philosophy just about sums it up. This book carries the message of how we mold our own future , our own life and our own outcomes from the mouth of a Messiah. One just loves the parallelisms drawn throughout the book. It's wat kept me hooked. The analogy of all humans as small fish clinging to the sticks and rocks in the river, but one was tired of clinging and let go to follow the path the river led it down. Most of all I loved - "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."  But it being a philosophical book and I despising all things spiritual, found it extremely difficult to complete. But that's just my biased views.

Some of this spoke to me, but I didn't massively enjoy the format.

I don't even know how I came to own this book, but I'm glad I grabbed it out of my "to-read" pile as a quick airport read. It is somehow lightheartedly thoughtful and philosophical in an accessible way, way deeper than any book has a right to be in only 192 small pages in largish print. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those books I read over and over again when I'm feeling particularly thoughtful or pensive and need a focus for my thoughts. Beautiful book--highly recommend!

Too short, but really cool

I really enjoyed this book. My friend gave it to me as one of his favorite books. I wasn't sure about it at first but the more I read it, the more I liked it I am going to have to reread it to highlight favorite parts.
