DNF. Slow start to this novel. I just couldn’t finish it, wasn’t for me.

This book is a slight deviation from the previous spiritual fiction Dan wrote.

There are two main differences, one is that this book has a bit more of a Carlos Castenada feel to it.
I think this is a bit of a superficial comparison and mostly due to the attitude of one of the characters.

The other difference is that the structure of this book gives the author the chance to add useful advice that is hard to fit into a storyline. By this I mean that since the author describes some of his writing in the book he is able to add advice when he shares what he wrote.

As usual with Dan the reading is quite enjoyable. However, at times this book feels less natural than his other peaceful warrior books. There are times where it seems like Dan is losing his voice and trying too hard. That being said, I have greatly enjoyed Dan's previous books and have set the bar pretty high.

The advice in this book seems less useful than in his previous books. It could be because I've come further along the path or that I am not ready to pick up on some of the deeper things he's communicating. Since it was quite a quick and enjoyable read, I'd like to go back to this and see if I can pick anything else up.

All in all this book is definitely worth reading, but if you haven't read the other peaceful warrior books I'd start with those.

I received an e-copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and this book was the perfect follow-up. The title of the book is appropriate in many ways, and as a reader, I enjoyed the little gems and insights throughout the story. This is the kind of story everyone will read and experience differently. The characters kept me interested and entertained, but more importantly, this story made me reflect. I enjoy stories that teach or amuse or entertain, but I appreciate stories that open the door for reflection. The book touches on topics such as death, paradox, and change, and offers plenty of opportunities for the reader to consider them thoughtfully.
