Review of Wisdom
[Following is a volunteer review of "Wisdom" by Arun mago.]
The book. Wisdom. by Arun Mago. unpacks many areas of daily life and gives insight into how we can expand our consciousness. It discusses a series of themes that allow the reader to think out of the box and consider new ways of tackling life's challenges. Some of the themes include; Dreams, Letting Go, life, politics, money, teachers, and motivational speaking among many others. One clear intention of the author is to provide practical advice on the subject topics. In addition to that, the author also aims to encourage the target audience to take action in their lives instead of just staying on the sidelines and allowing life to happen to them. The author also encourages the readers on many occasions to remain eager to learn and to take every opportunity to do so whether it be from past mistakes or people around you.
I was quite intrigued by the author's perspectives on the different topics that they covered. One that stood out the most to me was the author's ideas on Letting go for growth. This theme focused on the idea of leaving the past being to move forward which is an important lesson that was clearly explained. The author, in many instances, like the one mentioned, manages to present useful advice and simultaneously encourages the reader to rise above mediocrity. The book is also quite concise in its explanations of different topics which makes it easy to understand.
There, however, were quite a few negative aspects that I noted about the book. Firstly, the way each theme is displayed as separate from the rest makes the book seem disjointed. This made the book seem like less of an orderly book and more of a collection of essays. This did not take away anything from the content itself but I believe it could have been presented in a more organized manner. I also noted that the author used a lot of mnemonics which to me, added little no meaning to the topic of discussion. An example of this is shown under the theme of Better Half when he gave the mnemonics of hubby and wife. There were also quite a few times in the book when the author presented some debatable opinions. My first impression of the book title was that of being quite interested in the content of the book itself. Sadly, as much as it did have a few high moments when the author put forward a good argument, I did not feel as if the book added much to what I already knew about the topics under discussion. With that said, I would say there was a lack of originality, and where there was an effort to do so like with the mnemonics, I found them to be quite childish and less useful in driving the argument further.
I would give this book a rating 2 out of 4. This is because I did not like the layout of the book among the many problems I noted. The book, however, managed to achieve its aim of enlightening its audience on different topics which is why I consider it to be fair. This book would be a great read for teenagers as adults may see it as immature and uninformative.
