This book has some interesting ideas. Though the one that I disagree with is about evolution - that everything in the body is there for a reason and if it's not used over a period of time, then is will atrophy. Why is the appendix still there?? To quote Sheldon, everyone's favourite character from the Big Bang theory - If evolution were true, where are our wheels??
The content of this book will mostly benefit the reader who is seeking to understand the nature of his spirit and how to use it to gain success. The last ten pages were the only content which was useful to me, since the others are all just opinion and personal beliefs about the author's spiritual laws.
It was difficult to comprehend and it didn't captivate me at all. This book had a lot of potential, but it constantly used so much advanced vocabularies where it becomes monotonous and it begins to lose its flow - perhaps it's just me but that's my experience with this book.
Would I read another book from this author? I mean, I'm not sure, but at the moment I wouldn't due to this atrocity.
Nothing more than knowledgeable reading about developing self awareness as well as many other things you must read in this book I’m going to read it again just to read again
Not what I expected it to be, but Illuminating none the less. I thought it would be geared more towards psychology than the occult, but I still enjoyed it. Short read, probably could have read beginning to end in a few hours, but I took my time with it.
A solid 4.4- by the first few paragraphs I knew in ±10 pages that this was going to be a 4/5 minimum. By the end, I knew I almost wanted to give it a 5/5. This man, if thought upon well manages to summarise all the lessons I've learned from reading Goggins, Peterson, Some Nietzsche, and Freedom model. His advice is profound, and the only thing I can say rationalising me not to give it a pure 5/5 is that it's too esoteric. A beautiful work unmeant to be read to converse with.
Very short, very basic, but still it's good for two key moments in a person's life when they are trying to work toward really any goal 1) when starting out 2) when in moments of doubt. Some of the language might put certain people off the work, but really it could be about any way to heighten the spiritual side of life.
