Some gems I probably needed to hear, and they will undoubtedly pop into my head when I’m having a frustrating day, but otherwise meh. And some pretty squishy pseudoscience, so there’s that.

Did not finish. I picked up this book because it was on a list related to leadership. I had high hopes given the prefaces by Maya Angelou and Oprah. It was an odd combo of religion and fake science. This is outdated and you would be better off reading something else that emphasizes compassion in your relationships.

With the prefaces and forwards, the beginning reminded me of that family guy clip of studio logos before the movie starts

The actual content of the book was written in a prose that comes off profoundly abstract for me to understand, in some areas. I understand one paragraph and not the next. Resonance followed by confusion. I suppose this is the exact reason why the author recommends you revisit this several times. And Universal Consciousness, explained in a limited language is tough, I will admit. On the most part, I grasped the main idea of each chapter. 

The audio is distracting sometimes. The author uses the terms “light” and “Light” and has to verbally distinguish between both. When this conundrum occurs, all I hear is “…light, lowercase ‘L’… Light, capital ‘L’… with a capital ‘L’… that’s a lowercase ‘L’…” It makes my head spin!! And then I have to pause and come to the physical text to understand the concept. 

I didn’t participate in the study guide section, but found that it’s practically an entire summarization of the book and may be more impactful to read in its succinct format. And the prompts sound great for shadow work!! 

Overall, a book that delves deeper into spirituality is, of a means, has value in my bookshelf. I would prefer to read this instead of listening. There is definite worth in the study guide.

DNF at 50%. The content is fine and I don’t think he’s wrong about things necessarily but the lack of explanation of how the author came to some of these conclusions really annoyed me. It felt almost irresponsible. I’m happy to explore even extreme ideas theoretically or potentially accept them as a belief but when someone is introducing a borderline radical new idea, I want to know how or why they came to whatever conclusion they did. There is none of that in this book, at least the first half. Gave me the ick.

One of those books that changes how you view people. Even If you don't believe all of his theories, you can't help but feel more compassionate towards others after reading this book. One of my favorite books - EVER.
