For those of you that follow me, you may know it takes a lot for me to get into a non-fiction book, it just isn't my go-to genre. But, when I had first read about this book I decided "why not?". I'm glad I did.
We follow Björn on his travels through forest monkhood and it felt as though we were seeing the world through his eyes.
There was little comments thrown in here and there that helped to keep the book light and real.
This book can be described as nothing more than eye-opening. It was such a unique read for me and I loved that.
The little mantras we came across in the book and the points that were made alongside the mantras really did make sense and quite a few of them spoke to me. Particularly this one:
"You will know
what you need to know
when you need to know it."
No matter what stage you are in at life, I would definitely recommend this book. Just how much of your life has been influenced by your thoughts?
