Nice analogy

I believe the author creates a good analogy of her life so each of us can relate and understand the Tao and how deep it is much better.
This is a great book if you believe you are not ready to go into the Tao but want to start to understand it.

Omg

Can’t believe Zelensky is in a spiritual book. Makes so much sense! And it’s just really good. Lots of aha.

We all have a story

This book is a great read; particularly if you seeking to obtain a piece of mind in a world we’re it’s getting harder and harder to attain one. It’s distills all the madness in bite size perspective that make life seemingly overwhelming moments more meaningful and manageable. Although many people can benefit from it, It think that mothers and fathers will greatly benefit from many of the guiding principles and first hand advise laid out by the author.

Autobiography of an uninteresting millenial

Clickbait. Not a lot of Tao. Reads like a millennial trying to explain to a flight attendant why she needs her emotional support Llama on the flight. It's a bad autobiography disguised as a spiritual self help book.
