Within each of us is a warrior of light. Each of us is capable of listening to the silence of the heart, of accepting failure without letting it get us down and of holding onto hope even in the face of weariness and depression. Values like love for all things, discipline, friendship and learning to listen to our own hearts are the arms with which this warrior confronts the battles we face in the name of personal growth and in the defence of the light. On every page there is an inspirational thought, which can be read as part of the authors whole philosophy or used form the basis of a daily meditation. This text is a guide to the process.
Kundevurdering:
Før jeg leste denne boken, leste jeg "Alkymisten" av Coehlo. Derfor ble jeg litt overrasket når jeg begynte å lese på denne boken. Den er ikke som en "vanlig bok". Den er mer som en manual. Eller som en bruksanvisning på "hvordan bli et godt menneske". Etter at jeg leste denne boken begynte jeg å tenke på hvordan jeg var, og om jeg var den personen som boken handler om. Det er litt vanskelig å forklare, men boken handler om hvordan vi mennesker oppfører oss, og hvordan vi reagerer i situasjoner. Og jeg må si at jeg kjente meg igjen i mye av det! Men, alt i alt likte jeg boken. Den er veldig fin å gi i presang til noen du er glad i, eller bare kjøpe den til deg selv!
