Review of Enlightenment for the things that really matter
[Following is a volunteer review of "Enlightenment for the things that really matter" by Mark Gumbrell.]
Enlightenment for the things that really matter by Mark Gumbrell is a captivating book that invites readers on a transformative journey. Through a combination of personal anecdotes, philosophical reflections, and societal observations, the author explores the fundamental aspects of human existence. It challenges readers to question societal norms, examine their own beliefs, and strive for a more enlightened perspective. By emphasizing the importance of empathy, compassion, and self-reflection, the author offers practical guidance for navigating the complexities of modern life. The book also addresses pressing societal issues such as overconsumption, inequality, and the impact of technology on human connection.
One thing I liked about this book was its emotional resonance. The book strikes a chord with universal themes of love, loss, resilience, and personal transformation. Through its narratives, the book creates a deep emotional connection that resonates with readers on a profound level. The essence of love's beauty, the pain of loss, the strength of resilience, and the transformative power of personal growth were all captured in this book.
The book's ability to evoke emotional resonance leaves a lasting impact, fostering a deeper understanding of the human condition and offering a transformative reading experience. Recommended for philosophy enthusiasts and those seeking a transformative journey with emotionally resonant storytelling. However, potential readers should be aware of the book's slow pacing, which impacts engagement.
One thing I disliked about this book was the slow pace. Pacing refers to the speed at which the story unfolds. When a book has slow pacing, it can make the reading experience feel tedious and drawn-out, as one becomes impatient as the events or plot twist and unfold. Slow pacing can also result in a lack of tension or suspense, making it challenging for readers to stay engaged or invested in the story. A well-paced book strikes a balance between slower moments and more intense or exciting sequences, keeping readers hooked and eager to continue reading. I believe this book is not properly paced.
I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because the book evokes strong emotional resonance by touching universal themes and human experiences, which allows any reader to relate to the characters' joys, sorrows, and challenges. Also, this book suffers from slow pacing, which detracts from the emotional impact and makes the reading experience feel tedious or drawn-out. Which could make one impatient as significant plot developments or actions impact their engagement as they unfold. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
