It seemed okay when I read the sample, but this book doesn't feel very empowering. It is too simplistic and it blames the victim with a one size fits all understanding of trauma and anger. Everytime the youth asks the philosopher to explain more, the philosopher conveniently changes the subject and never gets round to fully understanding the subject himself. I've heard better arguments on the bus

Reading this book, I finally understand that there is no point in a life that try to fulfill other people expectation. Live your own life. Not anybody else's. It is an unusual perspective of life. It is hard to imagine in the beginning, but after awhile, everything just makes sense. Additionally, the dialogue format between The Philosopher and The Young Man makes it easy to follow. I feel like as if I talk directly to the Philosopher by myself.

It is a great book to remind me the way of life i choose to live. It is not important whether if we reach to the destination, but more to the journey itself. The moment is now and here, and dance fully to the moment.
