Brian Templeton shares his spiritual journey through this memoir.

Brian shares his journey both geographically and metaphorically as he experiences his shift towards awakening.
There were some interesting parts but tbh much of his spiritual journey was assisted by psychodelic properties which does not resonate with me.

Thank you Curly and NetGalley for an ARC in return of my honest review.

Boundless isn’t your typical memoir—it’s a beautifully layered exploration of self, spirituality, and the quiet wisdom found in far-flung corners of the world. As the author reflects on deserts, temples, city streets, and more, each chapter feels like a conversation with your soul, gently guiding you toward deeper awareness and presence. I really appreciated how it made me slow down and consider what “being present” actually means in my life. It’s one of those rare books that lingers in your thoughts long after the last page.

Whoa. Boundless hit me like a spiritual smoothie—refreshing, unexpected, and full of good-for-the-soul ingredients I didn’t even know I needed. 🌀 I mean, who knew you could hop from the streets to the sacred in a single breath and still be asking yourself deep life questions while doing laundry? This book made me wanna grab my journal, light a candle, and rethink the way I show up in the world. If you’re craving something soulful but not preachy, poetic but not fluffy—this is it! 🕊️✨

Passport Stamped: Soul Awakened

Boundless is like a spiritual smoothie blended with poetry, soul-searching, and globe-trotting vibes—equal parts grounding and elevating, and just what my overthinking brain needed to chill out and tune in. 🧘‍♀️🌿

As the title promises, the author invites the reader on his personal journey across time, culture, and self. Unfortunately, reading this memoir is like panning for gold…a lot of effort for a few nuggets.

I usually enjoy reading about others’ spiritual journeys, but this book takes a few well-known spiritual principles/truths and repeats them so often that it loses its appeal. The repetition occurs not only between chapters but also within paragraphs on the same page making the reading tedious. I appreciate the author’s insights and his willingness to share his experiences, but his writing style is a handicap to conveying his message. The book could have easily been edited to half its length.

My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
