Reviews

[Reemaayana · Rating 3 out of 5]

When life goes on toss or bad days seems like inevitable, we all desire for either support or self-help advices. However, this particular emotion too have become a business these days. Nevertheless, books in such cases help us a lot to recover. I personally recommend every person to seek help from books more than person, until he or she is a close associates.

Talking about the book, it is a wonderful compendia of thoughts and energies that a person needs to work upon. 'The Power of influence' by Yoritomo Tashi presents his core of perspective through the scrutiny of old Japanese scriptures.

This book carries a lot of ideas as to how a person can win the world by stabilising his psyche,which lot more reminds me of texts like 'Igikai', Puranas, and Bhagavat Gita. This books inculcates same thoughts and perceptions which we find in other ancient dogmas.

Overall, it is a simple and amazing read, however, #readers who are new to this subject would enjoy the story. 3/5
