Share This Review


"Somawise" by Dr. Luke Sniewski emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with one's body to achieve holistic health and authentic change. introduces the concept of "somawise," which means following the wisdom of our body experiences rather than being dominated by our thoughts. The book, structured into thematic chapters, outlines various practices for reconnecting with the body, including healthy lifestyle choices, meditation, and embracing discomfort. It stresses the significance of stillness, conscious discomfort, and radical self-acceptance as crucial steps toward healing and personal growth. The author also discusses the impact of trauma and the importance of managing relationships through personal responsibility and compassion. Ultimately, he advocates for mindful solitude and self-guidance to lead a balanced and fulfilled life.
 
"Somawise" by Dr. Luke Sniewski performs admirably in its mission to guide readers towards a more embodied and mindful way of living. The book is well-structured and comprehensive, breaking down complex ideas into accessible concepts. He effectively combines personal experience with practical advice, making the content relatable and actionable. His emphasis on the importance of listening to the body and the detailed exploration of practices such as meditation, conscious discomfort, and radical self-acceptance provide readers with tangible tools for personal growth.
 
One aspect of the book that is less appealing to me is the inclusion of certain controversial practices, such as the use of Ayahuasca. While the author presents it as a potential tool for achieving deeper body awareness and healing, its legality, safety, and appropriateness can vary widely depending on individual circumstances and local laws. These elements might make you skeptical about the practicality and safety of all the suggested practices. For these reasons, I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars. The book is excellently edited.
 
I recommend this book to individuals interested in holistic health, mindfulness, and personal development. Also, I recommend it to anyone interested in reading a well-crafted book.
