trytten 's review for:

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

5.0

---

This book really pushed me to tune even more into the importance of intrinsic values over extrinsic. Being enlightened doesnt require deprivation and an impoverished life, but just living in balance and understanding free of judgement. To judge is so human, but going past judgments and being open-minded is key to being happy. I wish to relay what Ive learned from this book (one of the key times Ive learned TRULY important things from reading a novel) to others and keep it constant in my life. What a powerful and fantastic read.
