Philosophy from the Mud is a non-fictional book written by Erik Quisling. It's divided into two parts: the fables of the author and the non-fictional motivational aspect. The fables comprise short stories about the ant, the earthworm, and the clam, while the motivational part talks about the five laws of masterful effortlessness. What could be there to discuss regarding the ant, the earthworm, and the clam? What are these five laws? Pick the book to find out.

I've been an avid reader of all kinds of books all my life, and I've never seen a book as unique as this one. It's the first thing that stood out for me in the book. There's a pattern of writing non-fiction books, but the author chooses to think outside the box, forgo the norm, and guess what? It came out beautiful and outstanding. We need more authors like Erik Quisling who will find their uniqueness and choose to use it in their work.

Another thing that stood out for me was the effortless exercises the author provided at the end of each law. It tells readers that when they finish reading a part or chapter of a book, they should pause to reflect on what they've read. It'll help them get a better understanding of what they're reading. I'm so happy the author included those exercises, and I made good use of them.

People rarely pay attention to Ants, worms, and clams; however, I appreciate the creativity of Erik Quisling in creating incredible stories out of these creatures. The author's creativity here is the third thing that stood out for me in this book. It makes me look forward to reading more of his books.

I can go on and on about all the positive aspects because I didn't see anything to dislike. There were no errors as well, proving the author didn't only write a great book; it was professionally edited as well. These are why I'm giving Philosophy from the Mud a full 5 out of 5-star rating.

I recommend this book to people looking for straightforward self-help books. It's a practical book. It's not bulky, it's easy to read, and understand.

Philosophy from the mud sounds fascinating to read about. I don't mind exploring this concept of air to a bird, water to a fish, and man unto himself.
