Product Information

However many readers, including myself, were probably hoping more for the dirt on former teammates, coaches and media staff. When the Dalai Lama adds his words to your frontispiece, I'm inclined to think it doesn't really matter how the rest of the world responds to your book. It\ s not only laced with the most incredible wisdom, but it\ s also gentle and beautiful and eloquen. The more people who read Lindeblad's story and his thinking and for themselves think, ok I'm not going to chuck it all in and run off to a monastery but I can use some of these ideas and principles, the better.

It has a quiet wisdom that has resonated with readers and I’m always delighted to see a book about meditation, mindfulness and compassion in the book charts. Summary: A manual for living with uncertainty – told in simple everyday language through the perspective of a man who chose to live an extraordinary life, but recognises that most of us will stay closer to home and can nevertheless benefit massively from what he learned along the way. BREAKING Two Barossa winemakers have hit a near perfect score for their drops on the world`s most downloaded wine review app.Written as though he is performing one of his teachings, Lindeblad’s I May Be Wrong is his only book.

I May Be Wrong was an instant number one bestseller in Sweden, and won both the Adlibris and Storytel Award for Best Non-Fiction. it was really funny at times like when he talked about his dislikment of shaq and other nba players. The word “responsibility” just sounds like something we must do or carry no matter what, regardless of who we are, how we feel or think. It's not only just laced with the most incredible wisdom, but it's also gentle and beautiful and eloquent.

There are some passages which are a bit clunky but on the whole it is written in a style that seems true to Barkley's vernacular. I was also sad to discover that Björn had died last year as he’s definitely someone I would have liked to read more from.

But there’s one really clumsy simile in the book, when Björn is talking about his health problems and how he ‘fell asleep like a clubbed seal’.Not passing this one on anytime soon – it's going on my tell me what I need to know random opening shelf. I wish his observations in here were expanded, but it’s designed (for better or for worse) to be a quick read.

I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to join a Buddhist monastery but the closest I ever got was going on a silent ten-day meditation retreat in an old boarding school in Kells, Co Meath.We like to think we understand what's happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. Also it was great to read that the monks, and gurus have their own insecurities and character defects that need to be worked on, and despite the efforts of years one can fall again into darkness again!
