Not sure if I'll pick this one up, though I think I would enjoy the philosophy part of it, too.

Perhaps a book to keep in mind for another time when I may feel more inclined to question life and the universe as from your review I can imagine this provoking a lot of soul searching.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-23558982019513819882011-01-11T18:45:07.012-07:002011-01-11T18:45:07.012-07:00"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful bey..."Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." I have to chew on this one. On the one hand, I do have a lot of fear of inadequacy that seems to run coutner to this. But I can see where this fear of too much inner power might be true. Sometimes I think many of us purposely hold back from embracing our full potential as human beings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-5201605498026031992011-01-11T17:58:32.536-07:002011-01-11T17:58:32.536-07:00I might have to give this one a shot.

Like you said, not everyone wants their world questioned. But I find it refreshes me and keeps me on track as to the most important things in life!Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-41020216728421542372011-01-11T17:41:49.956-07:002011-01-11T17:41:49.956-07:00@Missie...

I'll save that for another story, tho. ;D<br /><br />@Blodeuedd and Alyssa, I think if you love the philosophy on life or just enjoy exploring that aspect then you will like the book.

Though I know what you mean about fear hold you back, I think the message would have been lost on me with this book because I need some steadiness. Erratic can be fun for a while, but after a while I give up.

I haven't read those. However, if you like the philosophy he provides then the writing isn't as important. :) Hope you enjoy it Melissa.
