Grace und die Suche nach dem Glück

by Christine Friel McGrory, Marion Zerbst (Translator)

Grace ist am Ende ihrer Kräfte und unzufrieden mit ihrem Leben; von ihrer Familie und ihren Freunden fühlt sie sich immer weiter entfernt. Sogar sie selbst ist sich fremd geworden. Den wahren Grund dafür kennt sie nicht. Doch tief in ihrem Herzen spürt sie eine unglaubliche Sehnsucht …
Eine scheinbar zufällige Begegnung mit einer geheimnisvollen alten Dame wird für Grace zu einem außergewöhnlichen Abenteuer: Auf einer wunderbaren Reise fi ndet sie zu sich selbst und erkennt, dass ihr Leben bedeutungsvoll ist und sie eine Bestimmung hat.
Christine Friel McGrory verwebt auf magische Weise alte Wahrheit mit moderner Wissenschaft und zeigt, wie jeder von uns die Mächte des Universums nutzen kann, um ein glückliches und erfülltes Leben zu führen.

Läuft wohl auf 3,5 hinaus. Manches fand ich wirklich schön und inspirierend, aber manchmal war es mir auch einfach eine Spur zu sehr "drüber"...

Possibly fans of Paulo Coelho might like this, but like his books, the thin veneer of 'story' over a 'deep and meaningful' message left me a little cold. I did warm to Grace a little more than the dire Manuscript Found in Accra, and the message is at its core not awful: happiness is within you, blah blah. But the cod mysticism left me cold, and the writing style is a little simplistic.

I loved this book!

I've had moments throughout my life at which I truly felt at one with the universe. I've both "forgotten" them and, at the same time longed for them. I'd just finished the chapter on "letting go" last night. I had a very painful dream full of pain and frustration. When I woke up this morning I was so glad that had been a dream and not my "real life" . Now that I've finished the book, I realize that the dream embodied the act of letting go of a painful and shaming past. I" my dream included painful hives that turned into large and disfiguring weeping blisters. In the dream, I kept letting people down and no matter how hard I tried, I could not "get it right". I am going to keep the message in my heart. Right now I feel as though I can do anything.

Simple, easy to read book, beautifully written as a story which is full of wisdom. Thank you Christine McGrory - I enjoyed reading this.

A really original take on a self help book (for me at least) where the message is conveyed as a third person story. I was sceptical due to the ties with religion as I am not conventionally religious however I really enjoyed this and since I have started using this mindset, the world of possibilities have really opened up to me and I feel a lot more relaxed.

Beautifully written. I loved the combination of old knowledge/wisdom, science and religion. A great book which reminds one how to find the best in life every day. Very relatable characters.
