Review by nimitn -- The MISOGI Method by Jody B. Miller
[Following is a volunteer review of "The MISOGI Method" by Jody B. Miller.]
The MISOGI Method by Jody B. Miller is a unique self-help book that discusses an ancient Japanese ritual. This ritual is believed to hold the potential to transform one’s life.
In the initial chapters of the book we find out that the author lived in a safe neighbourhood. Which is why all the kids living there played together without much adult supervision. The author claims that having unsupervised playtime contributed immensely in her life. Through playtime, she was able to learn life lessons and have a sense of curiosity to try new things. This quality of seeking led her to stumble upon an ancient Japanese Shinto ritual. By researching this ritual and implementing it in her own life, she was able to work successfully in multiple careers. She was invited to speak about this method on the TEDx platform which had a lot of views on YouTube. She also released a podcast that got very popular, and now she has put together this book for readers and seekers around the world.
One of the best things about this book is that, the author has tried her level best to provide evidence and science behind this method. Although this is an ancient method, the author has explained it in a way that is suitable for today’s modern life. Another great aspect of the book is that inclusion of the interviews of those who practise and have seen benefits in their life. This is motivating enough for anyone to give it a try.
I really liked how the author discussed the differences between tradition and rituals. Many times we confuse the two and miss out on the benefits that a ritual has to offer. This has been the case in many religions or beliefs where people have confused one with the other. There is no doubt that ancient rituals hold some importance because they were focussed seekers.
There is nothing that I disliked about the book. However, I wish I could inform the author that Ganesh is a Hindu deity and not a Buddhist deity. It seems like an honest mistake and I don’t hold it against her and neither did it ruin my experience of reading the book. It is just an observation I wanted to bring to her notice.
The language used in the book is simple, easy to understand and contains no foul words. I did find a few grammatical and spelling errors, but none of them broke the flow of reading the book. Keeping all this in mind, I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
The content of this book will surely help anyone who feels lost or is facing crossroads in life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost motivation and wants to transform their life. The book has been written in such a way that anyone from any age group can pick it up, read it and apply it to their life.
