Review of Philosophy from the Mud
Erik Quisling's book "Philosophy from the Mud" is a combination of fiction and non-fiction. In this piece, the author discusses the Theory of Masterful Effortless. Although it seemed like the author was promoting his fables more in this book, I thought the fables were a bonus, and the non-fiction portion of the book piqued my interest even more.
The goal of the author's work is for readers to comprehend the five laws of Effortless Theory and assist others in putting them into practice. To put it simply, the goal of this book is to help you live an abundant and carefree life. Among the five principles he lists are the following: you have the power to co-create your life; the universe is judgement-free and gives you what you want in the here and now; abundance knows no bounds; and the universe honours bravery. When he talks about mastering Effortless Theory, he focuses on three primary areas: words, feelings, and actions. This book is also filled with quotations from well-known figures, and the book's stories will cause you to reflect on what you just read and its deeper meaning.
The cover is what I don't like about this book. Since this is a self-help book, I would have liked it if the book's title and promotion reflected that it was a self-help book. The fables should be advertised as a bonus, even though they occasionally made me laugh and think about their deeper meaning. I say that this is a self-help book because it can improve a person's outlook on life for the better, and I know many people will find it valuable.
What the author states is accurate. Should you harbour pessimistic views about your ability to accomplish a goal, your chances of success will most likely be diminished. That's my interpretation of what he was attempting to communicate, anyway. If you ever ponder why awful people seem to be able to accomplish or be bestowed with amazing things, this book may be able to provide an explanation for that, as it is possible that Effortless Theory is to blame. I found it appealing that the fables in the book had deeper meanings. I thought that the non-fiction portion of the book was excellent, and I plan to use it in my everyday life.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I loved how the author used non-fiction and fiction to make his point. I thought the material was excellent, and a lot of others will find it useful. Since I was unable to locate any mistakes, I assume that this book has been edited to perfection.
Anyone who wants something to happen in their life but is unable to commit to it should read this book, and the author even made accommodations for all religions and beliefs by substituting the word "universe" for their belief.
