I commend the author for the clever use of fables to advance his principles. I am sure this book would prove beneficial to the readers. However, since self-help books are not really my forte, I have to pass this one. Thanks for the insightful review though.

In my opinion, "Philosophy from the Mud" is a captivating read that skillfully combines fiction and non-fiction elements. Quisling's exploration of the Theory of Masterful Effortless is thought-provoking, with the non-fiction sections offering practical insights for living a fulfilling life. While the fables add an enjoyable layer to the book, it's the deeper meaning behind them that truly resonates. Overall, I found the book to be insightful and valuable, deserving of a 5-star rating.

I have never heard of the Laws of Effortless Theory so that piqued my interest. I am also on board for learning how to live a more abundant life. The book review was quite helpful in describing all that this book has to offer. This is a motivational book that may lead to self-help and happiness for those who are interested.

"Philosophy from the Mud" by Erik Quisling is a self-help book concentrating on the Theory of Masterful Effortless. Through fiction and non-fiction stories and examples, he focuses on three primary areas: words, feelings, and actions. The main aim of this book is to help the readers live an abundant and carefree life. A must-read for people who are struggling with how the universe works. This is a very honest and informative review. Thank you.

I'm not a fan of self-help type of books but this one is rather interesting. I think my favorite part is the fables that's included as they always have some hidden meaning a person is not always aware of until is pointed out to you. Thanks for a very interesting review. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you liked it and that's wonderful about the editing. From the sample, I could understand what he was saying, or at least think I could. I don't care for graphic novels and am not in the mood for a self-help book, so I will pass. I imagine that many people will enjoy picking this up and reading it.
