While I think a lot of the points that the author speaks of has been mentioned in psychology and self help before, I did like the way the author presented the points differently. Some things I’ll be taking away from the book like the concept of flow, thinking, non-thinking, reducing things that ruin your productivity, non-thinking, etc. However, the book does get very repetitive which is kind of weird considering how short it is, I also found as soon as he mentioned “god” and “infinite intelligence” I rolled my eyes, universe sure, or even god sure, some people find power in a high power like a form of religion/faith/the universe/karma, however to keep going back to these ideas as a sole power made me annoyed. I don’t mind that people find strength, inspiration, love, joy, from these things, but I don’t like it when a book on self help ends up acting like these things are all from the source of a higher power or being. He lost me there. He had some good, practical advice and ideas, but putting too much focus on a form of higher being completely lost me.
