Review of Wisdom
Posted: 05 Nov 2023, 11:49
[Following is a volunteer review of "Wisdom" by Arun mago.]
What is wisdom for you? And whom may you call "a wise person"?
Beyond the doubts, we all have our own definitions of this term. The poet Rumi once said, "Yesterday, I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise, so I am changing myself." So, when I passed by a "Wisdom" book by Arun Mago, I decided that I would like to take a closer look. Does this book live up to its name?
The first thing I want to notice is that the book is well structured. Considering the small book size, it is a great advantage. The writing style is simple and easy to follow. The editor's work is also excellent. All of it makes you concentrate on a topic and helps you dive deeper. The topics the author picked are fundamental and cover all aspects of life, such as responsibility, patience, productivity, and more. While the author shares his vision, you can compare it with your own and build a real dialogue between you and him.
When talking about the conclusions the author made, sometimes I disagreed with him, which is completely fine with me. However, to my mind, this book is more suitable for teenagers and young adults. Why? As I said, the writing style is clean and easy to comprehend; also, the book contains no profanity or slang words. To me, it is definitely a positive sign. The statements the author shared will help young people integrate into society better.
Summarizing, I rate this book 5 out of 5. There is nothing I would like to change or remove from a book. Of course, I recommend this book to everyone who is ready to investigate the topics we usually don't think about much. This book feels more like a dialogue than a simple reading.
