Glad to hear you are enjoying the book. Thanks for your kind reply.
You're welcome! Btw I think the author may have used the word 'humbleness' because of the negative associations with 'humility'.
This post was brought to you by the word "specifically".

I think the more one reads this book the more they discover the different themes that are present in different scenarios. Its about perspective.

A deeply satisfying journey to self-discovery is probably the most accurate way to describe dancing with Sophia.

Nice review. Do you think Sophia is a reference to the etymology of the word philosophy?

Great, I would have liked to read it. It seeks perfection and emphasizes investing in human soul before losing oneself to mesmerizing superficial attractions. As already hinted, a right pick for the ones seeking spiritual journeys. There are many out there, for some it might be the one.

Good question! I did a Google search and it indicated origin is: Latin from Greek philosophia ‘love of wisdom.’ Since Sophia is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, that would make sense. Thanks for replying.

Yes, I would agree that the uniqueness of a book's approach to this topic will attract those who resonate with its particular message. Thanks for replying.

Thanks for your review, I enjoyed your final rating and the rationale for why it was not a 4 out of 4. Stories like this are hard to find where the themes are fully explored and understood. I will be adding this to my bookshelf.

Yes, deciding on rating isn't easy when you enjoy a book but it doesn't reach 4 stars. Thanks for reading the review and replying.

I thought this was a really insightful review, especially the acknowledgment that other books have executed a similar concept.
