It sounds a good book as the author shared her personal strategies to cope with difficult situations. However, it's too bad to see errors in the book. Thanks for this great review!
Make your ideals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.

It sounds like the author could really benefit from using a translator to publish this book in English. I hope the book can be revised so the great ideas can shine through. Thanks for an honest review!

"Walking on the beach can be relaxing. Many people listen to recordings of ocean sounds to relax after a stressful day. The soothing, balmy waves that splash gently against the shore can transform into powerful and merciless tsunamis when a storm or hurricane approaches. In the non-fiction book, The Waves of Life & Our Mind Game, author, Say Thu Varadewa, compared the changes and stresses of life to waves on the water. The sea of life can be calm, but large waves can surge and threaten to inundate our emotions. How can we prepare ourselves to ride these unpredictable life waves so that they do not drown us?"

Very nice comparison. What a pity that this book is poorly edited. Thank you for good review.

I like the thought of comparing life's challenges to the sea waves. Thanks for the review.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I like how the author analogizes the occurrences of life with those of the ocean's waves. Thanks for the wonderful review.

It is a helpful analogy that helps the readers remember the author's main points by imagining the waves in your mind. Thanks for stopping by!

I agree! Emotional health should definitely get more attention, so it's disappointing that this book wasn't well written. Even as a native speaker I think I would have trouble completely understanding it because of the errors.

This is true. We are learning the importance of emotional health and how it affects all aspects of our life. I appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by!
