Review of Wisdom
Wisdom by Arun Mago presents a compilation of 30 chapters, each offering life lessons, advice, and various perspectives. Arranged alphabetically, the chapters cover diverse topics such as family values, business opportunities, politics, positive thinking, money, and effective speaking. Mago, the author, not only shares his thoughts but also provides practical tips to enhance different aspects of life. However, it's worth noting that this isn't a conventional step-by-step self-help guide.
Structured into brief chapters covering personal development topics like "Best Teachers" and "Be Logical, Not Emotional," Mago's approach is practical, blending motivational insights, personal anecdotes, and direct advice. The book's versatility shines through its coverage of personal growth, financial advice, relationships, and emotional intelligence.
Despite its professional presentation, the book's format may challenge some readers, as the concise treatment of each topic lacks the depth sought by those desiring a more extensive exploration. The motivational and direct tone might not resonate with those favoring a more analytical or scientific approach to self-help literature. Arun Mago's book deviates from the typical self-help guide by lacking a step-by-step implementation plan for his proposed changes. Regrettably, my reading experience ended in disappointment, marked by unoriginal perspectives and an abundance of clichés. The disjointed nature of the chapters gave the impression of reading a collection of unrelated blog entries. It wasn't until page 76 that the book's true nature unfolded, revealing itself as a compilation of Facebook posts. To enhance the reader experience, I suggest eliminating requests for likes and comments and introducing the book as a collection of posts from Arun Mago's Facebook page.
The book is a commendable effort, offering bite-sized wisdom and practical advice. Suited for those new to self-help literature or seeking quick motivational boosts, But due to the above challenges, I deducted 2 stars, giving the book 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to readers seeking a diverse range of life lessons, advice, and perspectives.
