I was sent Dr. Mind as a free copy for a review. This fact obviously isn’t going to affect my thoughts about the book in any way.

Let’s start with the rating: 5/5 stars.

Dr. Mind by Burbuqe Raufi is a self-inspirational book that deals with the power of people’s mind, a really strong power that we all have within, that most of time we forget to use in the right way.

This short and quick read enlightened me. What were the aspects that I loved the most? Every single one of them. I appreciated everything of this book. The story is just too precious and it really makes you understand the real meaning of life, and that every moment, every instant is worth living.

The author wrote it in order to help people. She felt like she had a mission, and yes, she has one, a really big and tough one. This story will make you think about what you have done with your life so far, what you have thought, and what you have accomplished. Remember that “It is you, and only you who can make the changes.” If you are in pain, and it doesn’t matter if it is physical or mental pain, you can ease it with the help of this “powerful instrument” that the author calls “Dr. Mind” from which comes the title of the book.

Burbuqe gave me a real gift with her book. I unconsciously needed it, as I think many other people out there might need it. That’s why I am writing this review with my heart in my hands.
I actually don’t know how to end this little review in a proper way so I think I will leave you with a quote from the book:

- I thought God was punishing me, but I was punishing myself for the mistakes I made. At the end it proved that I was blessed with a disease. Yes, blessed. Without it I wouldn’t have changed, I would have missed a lot of things, I would have died without seeing the perfection of life, my body and my mind. I would have never felt the freedom of being safe, supported and secure. I would not have observed nature, the seasons, the sky with its infinite stars during the night and its spectacular show of clouds during the day. I would have missed the air and the smell of its freshness, the rivers and seas. I would not have cherished the laughing, hugging, kissing. The list is infinite, believe it is. -
Dr. Mind by Burbuqe Raufi.

P.S. I can totally say that this review was the most difficult one to write. I felt so close to this story for personal reasons and it wasn’t easy for me to either get through the read and write my thoughts down. I really hope everything makes sense, as I hope you will read this book, if not for yourself, in order to help friends or family members.

My Review:

First I would like to thank the author for sending me a PDF copy of Dr. Mind. In no way did this sway my opinions of the book.

I would also like to say this isn't a book I would normally pick up & read. It is a inspiring true story about the author & I think that makes this book very unique. I would like to thank the author for sharing her story, so people can be inspired & encouraged.

This won't be a long review because I think you have to read it for yourself to see what you learn from it. For me that was to stay positive with whatever life throws at you.

Through the book you follow the authors personal experiences & you get to see first hand what is going through her mind. The author is very open through this book & I can see how through sharing her personal experiences it can help many people. The author emphasizes positive throughout the book.

If you are looking for a short inspiring read this is definitely your book!

This book might be just a quick and short read but I admit that this book really touched me from the start until the very end, it is very inspiring in every way, and most of all it truly made me believe in MIRACLES.

" I was in a zone where miracles happens."

I learned many great things after reading this, especially in not losing hope, while I was reading this I thought about my parents when they tell us just pray and to not lose hope. My father is a C.O.P.D (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), his doctor once said that he won't live very long (that was 5-6 years ago), and it scared us to death, but now he's still alive and happy, although sometimes he's still in difficulty, at least he's still with us and can still watch us grow-up. I never thought of it until now that this was a miracle, I have always believed that maybe this was just something to do with the doctor being good, but after reading this book it totally changed my beliefs.

" Too many wrong beliefs!"
This book is just purely amazing and I recommend it to everyone who is in pain or in losing hope right now, don't give up! But not just them, because we might also need this when the right time come, it may also changed the way you see in life.

Nobody is perfect. You can improve yourself. With Dr. Mind you can work on expanding the way you learn, so that you can learn in other ways, not just in your preferred style. This will change your attitude and behavior, which certainly help to be a better, more effective, person.

It refers to ideas that everybody already knows but keeps forgetting. It is just about recognizing the ways in which you can change your own thinking – the thought patterns, the habits, the tone of your thoughts from negative to positive, – which can definitely change your world, and it gives easy to understand examples to apply those principles to real life for good.

Burbuqe Raufi, the author of Dr. Mind has written, in very understandable language, a lesson on life. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to transcend their present situation to read this excellent book to help you succeed in any area of endeavor. I can’t imagine a single person who would not benefit from reading this book.

While the book has a price tag, what we learn from this book cannot be valued.

I wouldn’t usually pick up a book like this because I rather read fiction than non-fiction, but I am really glad that the author of this book send me a copy so I could read it, because it’s a story worth sharing! I’m so glad for her that she survived this horrible illness, just by believing that she was healed. Miracles really do exist. This book makes you think a little bit harder about life, because it isn’t always great, but still … We all must be happy that we live and we must be really thankful for the things we got. Because when this happens to you someday, it will change your life completely. But the author, she is such a strong and inspiring woman. She never gave up, although the path wasn’t always that easy for her. I am so glad that she survived  this and write a book about it, so she can inspire other people to never give up and just make your own miracles. Amazing piece of work, really! I recommend it to everyone, not only people who have a terrible disease, but also to those who would complain about stupid things like the weather or their work. Just try and live your life in the best way, because one day it might be all over. I confess, I sometimes complain about the weather too and about how much I have to study. But we have to be all grateful for these opportunities we get and I think this book is really an inspiration for EVERYONE.

So don’t hesitate to read this book, because at first I thought it wasn’t my genre of books I would read, but I’m so glad I did read it and it was worth it!
