Amazing story, powerful message.
Such a well constructed story that conveys some very profound yet common sense messages. This book helps you connect the dots and gives you some good cognitions, all of which you already know to be true but somehow have been programmed to forget. Highly recommended.

A Daily Practice…
I am able to apply the lessons from this book on a daily basis. I find this book to be practical and meaningful. The interview with the author, in the end, was important. In this section, he explains the reason behind writing this book in parables and his humble intentions in sharing this wisdom.
