The incorporation of fables alongside profound non-fiction insights promises a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. I'm particularly intrigued by the emphasis on mastering Effortless Theory through words, feelings, and actions.

A self-help book that shows us a practical way to enhance our life. From the review the material in this book is useful and well-presented. I think I'm more curious about the fables, tho. I guess this worth a try. Thank you for your honest review.

I’m not sure what to make of this book from the excerpt. I enjoyed the piece about the alien who was able to live the person’s life effortlessly because he had no fear of past failures. I got a little lost at the first graphic novel section though.

Unfortunately, after I tried a philosophy course at university, the subject turned out to not be my cup of tea completely. I had to drop it then, and to this day, I am not tempted to give it another chance. Therefore, no offense, but I will have to skip this book.

The author discusses 'Theory of Masterful effortless'. He shares his thoughts that the universe is non-judgmental, honours bravery, and is always giving in nature. The author highlights the importance of holding optimistic views to accomplish goals. This is a great self-book, and the illustrations are fun. You've made some great points in your review.

"Philosophy from the Mud" by Erik Quisling is a combination of fiction and reality. Through the book, the author analyzes the Theory of Masterful Effortless, especially its five laws and their application in practice. The book is unique, interesting, and professionally edited.

A combination of fiction and nonfiction is definitely a unique way of writing. It's interesting to know what fables the author used to pass his point. However, I'm not sure my interest is piqued enough to check out this book, so I'll be skipping it.

I have always believed that nature (that's my word for 'universe') has a much simpler way of accomplishing things than our way as humans. Most of us definitely need to simplify our approach to a happier life. According to this review, this book can really help us achieve that. As I once read, the rock that is not able to draw a straight line in the sand, makes perfect circles in the water, without effort... I want to read this book. Thanks for the excelent review

"Philosophy from the Mud" by Erik Quisling sounds like an interesting read from your insightful review. The book aims to guide readers in applying the five laws of Effortless Theory for a carefree life, focusing on co-creation, a judgment-free universe, boundless abundance, and honoring bravery. I had never heard of "Effortless Theory" before now but after reading your review I have decided to put it on my reading list as it sounds like it could teach me something new. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

"Philosophy from the Mud" seamlessly blends fiction and non-fiction to deliver insightful wisdom on living abundantly. With a focus on the Theory of Masterful Effortless, it offers practical guidance for transforming words, feelings, and actions. A must-read for anyone seeking a more fulfilling life. 5/5 stars.
The difference between taking and giving, and taking and not giving is the difference between life and death.
