It opened my eyes and I am really happy that I read it. It’s funny how people tend to complicate things and life and struggle with other people opinions.. it’s all so dumb, unhealthy and unnecessary. Read this book and thank me later ;)....more
I always say to people: "There's a book for every problem you have. READ BOOKS!" I truly believe this. So why wouldn't you approach love in a serious I always say to people: "There's a book for every problem you have. READ BOOKS!" I truly believe this. So why wouldn't you approach love in a serious matter and read some legit books about it? Learn, work on yourself and your childhood patterns. I liked this book. I've just read it and now I have to write down a lot of things from it in my notebook, so I don't forget about these lessons and can always come back to it. ...more
This is my fourth book in a row about buddhism, zen. Zen is in a way a meditation, but the word meditation is not exactly the right word. I was meditaThis is my fourth book in a row about buddhism, zen. Zen is in a way a meditation, but the word meditation is not exactly the right word. I was meditating today for the first time. I haven't read recommendations about proper ways of zen before I did it, because I wanted to just do it, the way I imagine that it's the right way, because I knew that this way, a lot of questions will start to appear in my mind and I will remember the answers to these questions faster. And after meditation today I continued with reading this book and timing was perfect. I came to meditation part. I learned so much! Great book!...more

But either way, I did make one page of notes while reading this book (I like to make notes when I read books I can learn something from, so I can always bring out my notebook and quickly read the most important things from that book). ...more

I was curious about Buddhism for years and I decided to stop being just curious about it and instead become active. This book is truly amazing and wonI was curious about Buddhism for years and I decided to stop being just curious about it and instead become active. This book is truly amazing and wonderful. I learned so much about Buddhism and it confirmed my "suspicion" that Buddhism is the only "religion" that makes any sense. It's actually a very good thing and a wonderful & fulfilling way of living. It promotes compassion for everyone, wisdom, calmness, working on yourself, not giving meaning to things that are not eternal and most of all, being responsible for your own actions (karma)....more

They both read it and praised it and Oprah said that Stedman and she wouldn't be together anymore if she hadn't read this book. That made me interested in reading this book. I don't like to read self help books, because these books require a lot of digging and bringing out everything that is painful and they are not just some easy breezy reading, but you have to do some work. This book makes you open your eyes a little bit more and you see things differently. You do kind of get the feeling, that every relationship will go sour sooner or later, but you mustn't run away but you have to work on your relationship. Well, his work is based on relationships that didn't work so..I don't know, maybe he should examine the ones that do work. I think that would be a lot more thorough and realistic. I like psychology, I like to read about these topics and I think it's important that every person is in touch with it. I am obviously no expert and I have no clue about it, so I can't really judge if this book is right or wrong....more

It broadened my horizons and it even got me interested in the history and evolution. This book is really interesting and it's a reminder of how badly we treat mother Earth. ...more
