Review of Philosophy from the Mud
2 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Philosophy from the Mud" by Erik Quisling.]
Philosophy from the Mud: Secrets of the Universe, from a Worm, an Ant, and a Clam, by Erik Quisling, combines short fables of these three with an intriguing write-up on effortless living, termed Effortless Theory.
The three short fables tell stories of different endings for each animal, with lessons to glean from, like courage to do right and resilience when things go wrong. On the other hand, Effortless Theory is a concise guide to getting what you want out of life, conveyed most effortlessly as the name goes, yet insightfully.
The fables are short, simple, and exciting but could use a little interpretation for a smooth read. The combination of the fables and Effortless Theory is rather interesting. Nonetheless, Erik Quisling tactfully handles that with regular heads-ups that keep the reader on board throughout the read.
Effortless theory contains several eye-opening facts for anyone looking to achieve specific life goals but encountering roadblocks. A lesson that stands out is the importance of the congruency of one's words, thoughts, and actions in obtaining specific results in life. Not only is the impact detailed in the book but life examples are also recorded as proof of its effectiveness. While the fables have their own stories to tell, you will not miss a lesson or two from the distinct experiences of the worm, ant, and clam's interesting encounters with elements of nature, man inclusive. Themes that run through Philosophy from the Mud include faith in one's belief, clarity, determination, and persistence.
The book was professionally edited, with a writing style of its own, earning a rating of 3 out of 5 from me. Whether you are looking for entertaining fables or secrets to the life of your dreams, Philosophy from the Mud has a pie on the plate for you to stop by and eat.
