This book was full of common sense statements and advice, and really felt like a waste of time to read. I didn't learn anything new.

Although the concept of the book appealed to me, I found it somewhat dry and the reference to biblical quotes just weren’t for me. Had I known they were included I wouldn’t have chosen the book. In the end, I admit I skim read. I’m sure there’s value in the book but personally I wasn’t captured by it.

This is an extremely unusual book that reads a little like mystical pseudoscience but actually might be onto something. The idea is that your soul needs to give your brain a command verbally to influence it to behave peacefully. Our natural state is goodness and peace, in essence.

It started to annoy me until it started to make sense - this is a book where the concept is simple to understand but you need to read at least half the book before you get it.

I was ready to change something in my life where I needed to be more merciful ( to myself as well as certain others) and... It seems to be working. Original thinking here!
