Review of The In-Between
[Following is a volunteer review of "The In-Between" by Christian Espinosa.]
Most of us are all busy in our lives chasing our goals and grinding day and night. The author was the same, living in his own bubble. He only cared about the macro-goals of his life, and everything else did not matter to him. Because of his traumatic childhood, he lived his life closed off from people and did not take part in the micro-moments that life has to offer. As happens in everyone's life, a tragedy is what changes people when they are forced to look within and introspect. For Christain, first, it was the discovery of six blood clots in his leg and the possibility of having a stroke at any moment. That scary health event made him think that something needed to change in his life. Then, finally, the main trigger or catalyst for change was the road accident he witnessed and was a part of. In that accident, the author witnessed what he calls in-between or micro-moments. In "The In-Between" by Christian Espinosa, the author discusses how to live life embracing the micro-in-between moments.
The book consists of 10 chapters. The author talks about his rock bottom, how he built his actionable awareness, and how he had to reset his identity. He also discusses how to set informed intentions, embrace your authentic self, and align your core values. Finally, he also discusses presence, insight, and leadership in further chapters. All of these things ultimately help you live life while embracing the in-between micro-moments. It helps you to live in the present moment fully without thinking about the past or future all the time. The author also wants you to learn from his mistakes so that you do not have to go through the hardships he has gone through.
I liked how the book is concise, yet it delivers a powerful message that a lot of us ignore in life. I liked how the author has delved deep into the events of his past life to help us understand each chapter. The stories were relatable and transformative. The final chapter was really important in the sense that it combined every principle he had taught so far. He actually applies everything he teaches in a recent negative event of his life, which actually helps to tie everything that he has taught so far, together. The editing is done well. I only found a few minor errors.
There was nothing I disliked about the book. For people who read a lot of non-fiction, this might not look entirely original or groundbreaking idea, but being a short read, it still provides much value for your time.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
I have given it 5 stars, as it is the perfect book to read, according to me. If the learning from this book is applied to your life sincerely, it can make a huge positive difference in life. I would recommend this book to all non-fiction readers who want to grow or change their lives to get the most out of it.
