"If we have too many possessions, we do not possess them; they possess us."
This is my first non-fiction/self-help book and it didn't disappoint! I love the messages, the reminders, and the art! I'm honestly so glad that I have the physical copy in paperback of this book because I honestly can't imagine reading a self-help book in digital; I annotate on my books so this is such a plus for me!
I bought this book quite a while ago because I've heard many good things and I mean, LOOK AT THAT COVER!!! But, I'm truly amazed by how much I agree with the things Haemin Sunim talks about! To be honest, some parts are just reminders for me but it's a compliment so 👍🏻 However, I'm so sorry but I can't rate this a solid 5 ⭐ (I'm rounding it up here) because there are some parts that just don't align with my belief; this was Buddhist-heavy book.
But overall, this was a brilliant book and there are so many things/quotes that feel like a stab in the chest because I found myself constantly saying 'Damn' 'I- I- I'm speechless' 'This is so true!' and many more. So, I would definitely recommend this book for everyone to start exploring the self-help genre. Or if you just want a good book that you can get back to anytime and honestly just jump from pages to pages.

"You try hard to obtain God's love, only to realize that there has never been a single moment when God has not loved you."
