Saving Me First 1: A Quest For The True Self
Based on Connee's extraordinary journey. Connee is courageous and fiercely independent. In her thirties, despite its apparent trappings of success, she knows that her life is empty and aimless. But as long as she can live on her own terms, she's okay with that. Everything changes, however, when a debilitating illness leaves Connee with a broken mind and body. In the midst of her agonizing loss of health and independence, Connee feels something stir deep within her—a profound desire to know her True Self. With her whole being, Connee prays to the "I will go wherever you lead me, and let the journey's end be liberation." Following only her inner compass, Connee's path towards wisdom and enlightenment takes her into the hidden world of Zen and the wild mountains of South Korea.

DNF. Starts off intriguing with Connee’s story. I am curious about her story, but the book annoyingly skates between providing zen instruction and tedious narration. We get a bit too much of the organs and far too much punishment of Connee, with little to no spiritual growth for the reader - and maybe not Connee. All I see is that she’s stubborn and the zen master is threatened and mean.

During lockdown I felt a bit disharmonized, I have never thought that being at home for so long could actually have such an effect on me. So, as soon as I saw this title on Amazon, I did not hesitate to pick it up and it has helped me a lot. Actually, the main theme of Saving Me First resolves around the reasons why sometimes we get sick and how we need to understand our bodies so as to prevent illnesses and emotional instability.
The author has done a great job portraying his ideas in this book by resorting to imagery. First of all, he enlightens us on what types of organs we have and he gives further insights into their relationship with our health and emotions.
