You are right. Thanks for your feedback.

I read and reviewed this book too and I gave it the same number of stars as you. I normally do not like self-help books but this one was distinct and I'm sure it will help a lot of people to find what they seek in life. Thanks for your review.

The overriding theme of this book is to discover the true meaning of life through learning from your mistakes or by getting guidance from the ordinary gurus which time to time come in your life. The author reminds us that we should be open-minded to absorb those teachings which can illuminate our lives with new hope.
I loved this sentence! I totally agree with this as well, since I think that being open-minded is one of the more important traits that one should have. Thanks for the amazing review!

Much interesting :D. Can I ask the reason for this? Usually such books offer same sort of stuff that one may dislike. Thanks for your interesting feedback.
honestly, the writer just came across as a self obsessed dick to me, it just seemed like he was bragging about all the things he has and the great travels he's been on. i wasn't enjoying it massively to begin with, then as that opinion formed of the guy, i think the rest of the book got tainted by my hatred. i feel a little bad, but hey, we can't help our opinions i guess.

Yes, it's a very interesting book. The story telling way of the author never let you get bored.
Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with you. The author is a great orator. Even the stories that would have seemed boring came out interesting to read because of this skill.

I love self-help books and I love memoirs, so this may just be the book for me!
The overriding theme of this book is to discover the true meaning of life through learning from your mistakes or by getting guidance from the ordinary gurus which time to time come in your life. The author reminds us that we should be open-minded to absorb those teachings which can illuminate our lives with new hope.
These are excellent lessons to keep in mind.

Thanks for the great review.
