Description
Have you ever heard the saying, “With age comes wisdom”?
The implication is that we grow wiser as we grow older. But why is that?
Do the years we accumulate automatically make us wiser? Or do the experiences we have throughout these years teach us about the world and how to make good judgments and decisions?
No matter where you are in life, whether you are a child or an elder, you have access to wisdom. We simply do not take the time to be still and understand how life experiences can teach us these life lessons. Instead, we go through our daily routines, content with only the minimal lessons we learn unconsciously. Our vision gets clouded by the distractions and emotional upheavals of life and we miss out on true connection and joy.
There is a way to find a path much deeper and more meaningful than that. As we practice our way of life, we will have many different experiences. Some of these experiences are good and easy, others are hard and difficult. But in both cases, there is wisdom to discover and peace to be found if we can learn to control our thoughts and emotions.
I invite you to explore these 33 rules for life in mastering your emotions and enriching your life. I hope you will use these short chapters as guides to explore both the dark and light places in your understanding of the world.
Take time to self-reflect to squeeze as much knowledge and understanding you can from them. They have much to offer you if you will open your heart and mind.

As one who is currently trying to live from my soul rather than my ego, I found this book to be impeccably timed! Very thought provoking and just what I needed right now. We need to see the interconnectedness of the Universe in such trying times. Well done, Leslie! Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This profound self-help book helps you to find inner wisdom, because wisdom is the highest attainment that everyone should seek for in life.
The author invites us to explore these 33 rules for mastering our emotions and enriching our life. The book is in a form of short chapters as guides to explore both the dark and light places in your understanding of the world.
We are always pursuing or running from something, so it is even more essential to take time to self-reflect, to understand, find inner peace and path to the wisdom. All that is possible if we just open our hearts and minds.
This wisdom is only accessible when we are willing to observe the world from a detached yet compassionate perspective.
True happiness does not reside in the pursuit of the things that we believe will make us happy. We do not achieve peace by avoiding the things that make life difficult.
Happiness and peace come from the acceptance of life as it happens. It comes from our recognition that life is ever-changing and we simply occupy a form in this space.
Every existence is created uniquely but equally, however the tricks of the eyes and the mind viewed them as being different. It is simply a test of our moral virtue and acceptance. Everything is created by 'The One' - in one core-form, and, in due time, everything returns to 'The One'.
By practicing mindfulness and acceptance, we can experience peace. One way we achieve this is through the practice of gratitude.
When we value the journey more than the destination, we can embrace an enjoyment of life that has no limit. We do not constantly pursue a goal, we simply pursue the experience of improvement.
Celebrate happiness in your experiences, and learn about the wisdom of living happily, and compassionately.
Essential guide for life.

This book focuses heavily on wisdom being the key to everything. Don't get me wrong, wisdom is wonderful, but the third eye isn't the key to true enlightenment - the heart is. The answer is always - love.
This book also has an air that perhaps it now knows everything there is to know, when it definitely doesn't. If we had all the answers, we wouldn't still be here.
The layout is good but the lack of colour and visuals made it difficult for me to want to continue reading.
Overall, this book does have some good lessons and I can see it helping beginners and being a nice stepping stone, on an ever-evolving journey.
*Needs editing - there are many typos.

Oh Wow! This book is excellent... I love the approach the author takes... It is like 33 vignettes with a unique focus on each... I finished this book in two days straight and have kept going back to it since... Must read for all! It's literally Life Lessons explained via simple thoughts
