Product Information

Many thanks to @definitelybooks #pansing for sending me this review copy! I definitely had a good time with this.

Lasīt labu grāmatu ir tāpat kā doties ceļojumā- tu izkāp nezināmajā, ļaujoties iespaidiem un piedzīvojumiem." (7.lpp.) This book really, really will stay with me forever. It's not only laced with the most incredible wisdom, but it's also gentle and beautiful and eloquent. It brought me so much joy and so much comfort' FEARNE COTTON I was extremely surprised to learn, at the end of the book, that this book was actually written by Caroline Bankler - using the content from the author’s 2018 lecture tour and their conversations over the years. The book has such a strong, consistent voice - with a characteristic sense of humour and lightness of tone - that it’s surprising indeed to learn that it has been a collaboration. Having said that, Bjorn places a great deal of emphasis on the wisdom and practical advice that he has learned from all of his various teachers and mentors. A tak pro mě bylo docela překvapením, když jsem v knihkupectví sáhla zrovna po knize Moudrost mnicha.I May Be Wrong But I Doubt It Shirt , Funny Cute Shirt , Sarcastic Gift Shirt , Gift For Friend , Funny Graphic Tee Björn levde i sjutton år som buddhistisk skogsmunk i Thailand och beskriver i boken hur han övergav en lovande bana som ekonom för klosterlivet och nästan två decennier senare ska börja leva "ett vanligt liv" med depression som följd. När han åter är på fötter får han diagnosen ALS och försöker summera sitt liv och vad han lärt sig. I may be wrong' is full of humility and grace, and his writing style is warm and engaging. The book is based on talks he has given, and you can tell from the conversational tone of the book. It's like he's sitting beside you. We can’t affect all possible outcomes or make everything come together exactly the way we want. But we can choose to act from our highest intentions. We can take responsibility for the moral quality of our actions and our words. That’s no small thing. It matters a great deal. And we can all do it. No one else needs to change for you to become more beautiful inside. It really is that simple. The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Björn Natthiko Lindeblad

A very interesting story about a Swedish economist who decides to become a forest monk in Thailand. Man ska låta känslan bestämma oftare. I öst kan man använda ”det känns inte bra” som ett färdigt argument, vilket skulle leda till följdfrågor i väst, menar han. It''s a calming and enjoyable read. Although Bjorn becomes a Buddist monk, there isn't a heavy focus on Buddhism in the book, more about the texsts from the religion that he lea Irned from, and from which we can all learn. I was amused to read how difficult he finds meditation - if a monk finds it difficult, then it's perfectly okay if I struggle too! Let me tell you what this audiobook is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. Plain and simple, it's about how to relate to your own thoughts and emotions in a way that makes your life more enjoyable, more free, brighter, clearer and wiser.I’ve often wondered what it’s like to get 'the call’ - the desire to drop everything and take up a spiritual vocation. I have a cousin who did get the call to be a priest when he had already finished training to be an accountant. At the time I thought it might have been nice if he’d been asked before all those years of studying, but I appreciate it doesn’t work like that.
