it was amazing

bookshelves: favorites

To make it short: I think that everyone should read this book at least once. I've learned a couple of things along the way about myself, about others and what reality really is vs. what we perceive as reality. I think that each person will find at least one grain of truth or a quote that speaks to themselves while reading this. So why not give it a try...

“We were brought up to need people. For what? For acceptance, approval, appreciation, applause - for what they call success. Those are words that do not correspond to reality. They are conventions, things that are invented, but we don't realize that they don't correspond to reality. What is success? It is what one group decided is a good thing. Another group will decide the same thing is bad.”
