Review of They love you until you start thinking for yourself
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "They love you until you start thinking for yourself" by Monica Omorodion Swaida.]
They Love You Until You Start Thinking for Yourself by Monica Omorodion Swaida is the story of Monica, the third of nine children. Monica’s life as a child is laced with adventure, happiness, and a purpose to explore. At the age of 17, Monica began her adventure; she left her home country, Nigeria, for Poland without the knowledge of her parents or siblings. She headed on a curious adventure. Reaching Poland and knowing the severity of her quest and how hard it is to survive in a country you know very little about, she sought the help of her brother, who lives in Germany. Meeting her brother set the beginning of another industrious adventure for Monica; it wasn’t easy, but she was determined to succeed against all odds. Will she thrive on the new journey she embarks on? Will everything play out as she envisioned it to be? Read this inspiring tale of a young girl chasing her dreams relentlessly.
The book presents a compelling story of personal growth, resilience, entrepreneurship, family, and triumph against all odds. As a young immigrant, Monica faced countless challenges that tested her resolve and determination, but these challenges helped shape her and her quest for knowledge. The book's theme centers on resilience and open-mindedness, and this is well emphasized in how her traveling experience through various countries and experiencing different cultures has helped her break free from a one-dimensional perspective. Another beautiful part of her story that shows resilience and overcoming her hurdles is how, despite her fear of flying, she knew for her to solve her problem on the other side of the world she needed to fly; coupled with her mother's inspiring words to her, she knew she had to overcome her fear of flying. I love Monica’s perspective on things and how she looks at events in life from a perspective of wanting to know more and curiosity. She is a believer in human experiences and interpersonal relationships that transcend race, culture, color, or language. And that is well fleshed out in her argument about which race is higher; it was ranked: Whites, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks. But why is it so? Humans shouldn’t be segregated based on their skin color or race.
One of the book's strengths lies in the authentic tone employed; she writes with a tone that both carries her vulnerability and her strength, making it easy for the reader to relate to her experience and also stay engaged on her journey, thus making her development from a young teenage immigrant to an adult and a successful entrepreneur heartwarming and inspiring. I found her multi-dimensional thinking and inclusivity inspiring; she never believed she was disenfranchised, and this made it easy for her to be able to help others, especially teenagers as well. The story I relate to the most is that of a young boy named Independence. Independence just wanted to be independent but knew one should listen to the reason behind his choices, and this made him stray from his family. Monica listened to him and helped him out, and this helped him to start chasing his dreams again. Additionally, her ability to turn setbacks and challenges into a reason to forge ahead helped shape her as a person, making the book feel more inspiring.
There is nothing I dislike about the book, as the book deeply details her life from a child to an adult and her professional journey, as well as her stand on politics.
The book is exceptionally well edited, with clear narratives and smooth transitions between chapters. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars as the author advocates for believing in oneself and one’s ability irrespective of the societal norms or constraints that try to hold us back, and your race, color, religion, or culture should never stop you from achieving your dream. This book is a memoir that deeply explores personal development, so I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in personal development and entrepreneurship.
